Soapstone Kitchen & Countertops

Soapstone has earned its way back into American homes today.

Homeowners who want an exquisite and exclusive product in their home are choosing soapstone countertops over granite and other surfaces due to many good reasons:

• Soapstone does not stain. Soapstone counters are not harmed by hot pots, citrus, wine, acids or chemicals. The only maintanance required is the mineral oil treatment to enhance the natural darkening process the stone goes through.
• Cleaning your soapstone tops can be done with any of the common household cleaners, no need to buy special sealants or other "hard to find" often harsh chemicals

Are you a Do It Yourselfer interested in reducing your countertops cost, sometimes up to 50 or 60 percent?

Why pay us or anyone else to fabricate your counters if you can do it yourself with our pre cut slabs and flexible options of ordering?

If the edge finish you want on your countertops is a simple one, like a bevel, eased edge or straight polished, you can do it with your orbital sander or a belt sander or even by hand using a sanding pad. You can start using 80 grit, then 120 grit and finally a 220 grit (Cobra soapstone, go an additional 320 and 400 grit) to match the factory finish we put on top of the slabs. Do not worry if your finish comes out a bit lighter than ours, after you apply mineral oil to the countertops that slight difference will disappear.

If you like a full bull nose or an ogee for example, you will need to use a router with carbide bits. We also recommend doing a practice edge finish, before you actually start finishing your final product. You will use a straight edge to ensure a perfect straight cut. Although soapstone can be cut with a masonry blade, we recommend that you invest an additional $50.00 on a diamond blade (wet/dry) to get a faster and smoother cut. This blade can be found in your local hardware store, and will go right on your circular saw.
