Grab Kenneth C Lewis RSSSoapstone - a form of metamorphic rock containing magnesium, dolomite and talc. It actually is called soapstone because touching its surface produces a tactile sensation that is remarkably similar to that of a dry bar of soap. Geologically, it is related to marble, which has long been valued as a surface in homes and buildings dating back to the Hellenistic Period. Unlike marble however, soapstone countertops are easier to care for and cost less than marble surfaces.
Why should you consider soapstone countertops? If you know a great deal of cooking, you no doubt are aware of the kind of abuse that countertops must endure, especially when it comes to stains. And if you don’t have a chopping board, then that can put a lot of strain onto your countertops. In fact, soapstone - unlike its geologic cousin, marble - is chemically inert, and will not react with acidic nor alkaline substances. What this means is that virtually nothing you spill on it will cause permanent staining - simply wipe it off or remove it from the surface with a bit of fine sandpaper, and it's good as new!
Soapstone countertops also offer great aesthetic value; it is what is known as schist, meaning it has a grained appearance like wood and marble. There are many different colors, types and treatments for soapstone countertops; a nice thing about soapstone is that you will have few problems finding a type that will blend in nicely with any color scheme or décor. Soapstone offers versatility, durability, ease of care and a unique kind of beauty. Soapstone countertops are one of the best and ultimately, most economical ways to upgrade your kitchen; check out the many options available today!
