Why Choose Soapstone?

Soapstone countertops, like the ones in this kitchen by Jarrett Design, offer a soft look but can also look great in a sleek, modern space. Though pricier than some other countertop options, soapstone is environmentally friendly and durable, offering significant value.

Rich, Resilient Countertops

Stain-Free

Go ahead, get those countertops messy. Soapstone is stain-resistant and needs minimal upkeeep after installation.

Soapstone Sink

Strong, Heat-Resistant Surface

Because soapstone is heat resistant, it's ideal around the range: There's a good chance it won't be damaged even if a hot pot is set down accidentally. Photo courtesy of Soapstone International Inc.

An All-Natural Look

Muted teal cabinets make a subtle color statement against black, soapstone counters for an organic look. A steel-wrapped range hood adds an industrial element to the space.
