Posted by: | Comments
The Saratoga Soapstone finished counter surface featured on DiY's House Crashers.
Recently featured in a number of projects on DIY Network, soapstone has also been enjoying a surge of popularity at our indoor slab gallery. Many consumers love its light grey color that darkens with age, natural matte or honed finish which doesn’t show fingerprints and its non-porous nature which keeps it from staining. As we are a proud partner of the Artisan Group, we offer Saratoga Soapstone, a premiere line of soapstone perfect for many projects.
Saratoga Soapstone is also known as the metamorphic rock steatite and is quarried naturally with no synthetics. It is heat and stain resistant, requires almost no maintenance and adds enduring value to any project. For those looking for a change of pace from traditional solid stone counters, Saratoga Soapstone offers a beautiful unique option that works well with a range of designs from modern and sleek to rustic and classical.
