Soapstone can be hard to find, but at Dauter Stone, we keep it in stock. We are the only supplier in Western Canada with over two decades of experience working with this special product. Quality soapstone countertops can add beauty, function, and value to any kitchen or bath.
Soapstone is a unique choice for those who want the beauty and practicality of natural stone with a softer, slightly textured surface and a more rustic look than the polished options. Soapstone is extremely dense, non-porous, and will not stain (once oiled). Like granite, it is stain-resistant and heat-resistant. Colour choice is in a range of greys, with creamy white veining. Some soapstone has strong veining, and some minimal, so slabs can be chosen to match personal taste. Initial saturation with mineral oil is required to prep the surface, and brings out the colour and beauty of the stone. As part of the soapstone products we offer, we also custom manufacture square, farmhouse style soapstone sinks.
Soapstone is relatively soft compared to most other solid surface countertop choices, and comes in a pre-stressed finish. Scratches are normal wear and tear, disappear when the stone is oiled, and lend to the patina of the stone over time. Light sanding periodically is also fine for maintenance.
