ABOUT SOAPSTONE

Soapstone is a natural metamorphic stone known for its smooth, velvety texture and soft, subtle veining. Rich in talc, it has a warm, silky feel and naturally resists heat, chemicals, and stains. Its unique matte surface and gentle aging process make it a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and interior design spaces seeking a calm, refined aesthetic.

SETTING

Soapstone performs well in both residential and commercial interiors. It is commonly used for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, tabletops, and laboratory surfaces thanks to its heat resistance and non-reactive properties. Its naturally matte finish adds understated elegance to modern and traditional designs.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Soapstone is easy to care for and does not require sealing. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient. Over time, the stone naturally darkens; applying mineral oil enhances this patina and deepens its color. Avoid abrasive pads to preserve its soft, smooth texture.

COLOR PALETTE

Soapstone ranges from soft light grey to deep charcoal, often featuring delicate white veins or faint green or blue undertones. Its naturally muted tones create a soothing, organic look, and each slab develops a richer appearance as it ages.
