The story behind soapstone.
A soft, warm, matte natural stone rich in talc. Deep charcoal tones, non-porous, heat-proof, and chemically inert. It ages into a beautiful patina.
What we love about it
- Non-porous, never needs sealing to resist stains
- Extremely heat-resistant, set hot pans directly on it
- Acid-proof, won't etch from wine, lemon, or tomato
- Minor scratches sand out, surface is repairable
- Develops a rich, characterful patina over time
What to know before buying
- Softer surface, scratches and dents more easily (but sandable)
- Limited color range (charcoal, grey, green-grey)
- Darkens over time, especially when oiled
Care & maintenance
Wipe with soap and water. Apply mineral oil periodically to even out the patina (optional). Sand out minor scratches with fine sandpaper.
Typical range for a full kitchen install (template, fabricate, install). Final quote depends on slab, edge profile, and cutouts.
