Is it time to upgrade your kitchen? A new countertop could be the best route to take, especially when you want a dramatic, beautiful look. Granite isn't the only option in natural stone materials. One often overlooked option is soapstone, a beautiful stone that offers outstanding beauty and a creamy appearance. It could be one of the best choices for your counter remodel. Planet Stone can help you.

Why Choose Soapstone for Your Home? 

Natural soapstone is a durable countertop that can handle most conditions. It's also stunning in both its texture and appearance. Consider a few of the best reasons to use this product in your kitchen remodel.

Its Look

Soapstone has a rich texture to it. It's very versatile to fit most kitchen designs (you can also use it in bathrooms with ease). It's a bit more rustic than granite or quartz, but depending on the color and style selected, it can work well in a modern space, nonetheless. It comes in three color options, green, black, and grey, all of which can set the tone for the rest of your kitchen.

Environmentally Friendly

Soapstone is an eco-friendly option. It's 100 percent natural. It is also easy to care for without the need for any type of sealers or chemicals. 

Durable for Most Needs

Soapstone is also a highly durable product. It can stand up to just about anything. It's not likely to chip or crack for any reason. More so, you can place a larger amount of weight on it and not worry about it snapping (though you should be careful with excessive weight). It can handle more day-to-day use without suffering any type of significant damage. You can protect its shine and beauty if you would like, though, using a natural oil to seal it even more so to prevent any type of staining. It's a non-porous stone, which means it's not likely that bacteria can grow in it like other types of stone. 

Its Heat Resistant

For kitchens, heat resistant countertops are critical. Unlike some other natural stones, it's not likely to chip or crack when something is placed on it that's warm. You can place a utensil on it without having to worry about any damage. It can withstand heat of most types.
