Using Saratoga Stone in your home opens the door to many unique design options. Long a preferred choice for kitchen countertops, soapstone brings together the best of style, function and versatility. Contrasting patterns and shading add to stone’s natural beauty, imparting a unique appearance that can never be exactly duplicated.
CHARACTERISTICS
Natural: Soapstone is quarried naturally with no synthetics; composed primarily of talc, chlorite, dolomite and magnetite.
Heat Resistant: No damage is caused when hot pans or dishes are placed on surface.
Stain Resistant: Soapstone is inert, meaning acids and alkalis will not harm the surface and normal household items will not stain.
Non-Porous: Unlike other stone surfaces, sealer is not required.
Versatile: Easier to cut and shape than marble or granite, so joints can be made inconspicuous.
Unique: Offers a unique, soft color with light flowing veins. When oiled, soapstone exhibits an even more dramatic color variation.
