SURFACES

Soapstone offers many advantages over other surfaces. One significant difference between soapstone and other natural stones is that it is inert and not affected by alkalis and acid. For over a century, soapstone has had a dominant presence in science classrooms and labs because of its resistance to harsh chemicals... Surfacing with soapstone in homes and commercial buildings is becoming increasingly popular. Common applications include balusters, stair treads, window sills, countertops, sinks and more.
