Nice to meet you,
Soapstone

The new fashion trend - Soapstone - has been heavily introduced into the kitchen and bath market in recent months. Different then marble and granite, soapstone is non-porous. It is completely stain resistant, making it ideal for kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and bar.

The durability of soapstone, however, is comparable to granite and marble. All from quarries from around the world, soapstone is found in two styles. Artistic, which is softer, and architectural, which is harder, are comprised of talc, quartz and various impure minerals compressed over millions of years in the earth. Direct from Brazil, GranTops is proud to present soapstone, imported for your countertop pleasure.
