Soapstone brings a unique option to the table. Known for its rich, dark hues and silky feel, it makes a bold complement to your modern or industrial kitchen and bath designs. It is softer than other surfaces and will lovingly show its age with use. You may wish for a matte or honed finish with this product.
Your soapstone countertop can be completed with our Top & Bottom edge that softens sharp edges while maintaining an elegant presentation. The Crescent Edge produces a rounded front that may complement your traditional cabinetry selection. A Chiseled edge shows off the raw and rugged stone. Mitered edges create a crisp front while building the illusion of a thicker countertop. Ogee complements both formal and rustic cabinetry and Half-bullnose delivers a simple edge without sharp corners.
