Soapstone Countertops

Serving Portland OR, Vancouver WA, and the Oregon Coast

Soapstone is a natural stone beauty similar to quartz, but has its own unique charm with a soft, sophisticated matte finish. When you're improving high-traffic areas like your kitchen and bathroom, you don't just want any surface. You need something that'll last. Soapstone is a non-porous surface that's a cinch to clean, impervious to stains, and is famously heat-resistant. Plus, it does all this while being a sealant-optional material.
Crowleys Granite & Quartz is happy to bring its splendor into any nook or cranny of your home or business with our top-notch installation services.

Kitchen Soapstone Countertops

Spills and splashes are part of life – but in a kitchen adorned with soapstone, they enhance the patina rather than detract from the countertop’s beauty. Each slab is expertly selected and tailored to your personal taste and lifestyle, so that no two surfaces are the same.

Soapstone’s inherent thermal properties mean it remains cool to the touch. Moreover, its natural resistance to bacteria and staining makes it an impeccable choice for a hygienic environment.

We recommend soapstone for kitchen countertops because:

It can handle the culinary chaos of spills, splatters, and heat.
Its elegance morphs your kitchen into an organic appeal.
A little oil rubdown deepens its chic finish, making it a custom work of art every time.

Soapstone Fireplaces, Backsplashes, and Vanity Tops

When applied as a backsplash, soapstone offers a unique backdrop that marries rustic charm with sleek, modern aesthetics. And for bathroom vanity tops, soapstone delivers an elegance that withstands the test of time, not just in durability but also in style.

Anywhere there’s a potential for mess or heat, soapstone steps in:

It handles fireside heat without a smudge.
Soapstone backsplashes wipe clean easily.
Vanity tops with this material stand up to almost any stain.

Which Is Better: Soapstone or Quartz?

Soapstone Counter

We’re talking about two stunning options for stone surfaces. Which is better depends on what you’re looking for in terms of aesthetics and function.

Soapstone countertops are a durable and heatproof choice that develops a unique darkening patina over time. They’re resistant to acidic foods and are easy to clean. However, they’re not scratch-resistant and can show knife marks. Soapstone also has a limited color selection, though its available tones exude natural elegance.

On the other hand, quartz offers a broad spectrum of color options, catering to any design preference. They are also highly resistant to scratches, making them a practical choice for a busy area. However, quartz is sensitive to high heat and is a less unique option to soapstone.
