SOAPSTONE

Soapstone is a beautiful and resilient natural stone that makes an excellent choice for countertop installation. While granite is harder, soapstone is exceptionally durable and known for its non-porous surface, which means it doesn’t require sealing and resists stains naturally. It can handle everyday wear and tear with grace, developing a unique patina over time that adds character and charm.

pros & cons

Pros

Soapstone is prized for its natural beauty, durability, and low maintenance, making it an excellent choice for countertop installation. It’s non-porous, meaning it resists stains and doesn’t require sealing. Its smooth, matte surface is heat resistant and can withstand everyday wear and tear, developing a unique, charming patina over time. Additionally, soapstone is gentle on cookware, which is why it’s a favorite in busy kitchens, especially when sourced from reputable suppliers like World Stone & Design.

Cons

Pros

While soapstone is durable, it is softer than granite and can be prone to scratches and dents. However, these imperfections can often be easily sanded out or embraced as part of its natural character. Its darker, muted colors may not appeal to everyone, and it may require regular oiling to maintain its rich appearance. Additionally, when considering countertop installation, it's important to note that soapstone can be more expensive and less widely available compared to other countertop materials offered by companies like World Stone & Design.
