Outdoor Soapstone Patio

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009
A great outdoor living space starts with a patio. A patio made of soapstone tile adds unique beauty and elegance to any outdoor living space. At M. Teixeira Soapstone we maintain an inventory of 12″ x 12″ and 18″ x 18″ tiles for immediate delivery so you can get your project started just in time for those summer barbeques. And if you are lucky to be planning an outdoor kitchen our soapstone countertops are ideal for grill islands, outdoor food preparation and serving areas.

Best of all, soapstone does not stain. The soapstone counters are not harmed by hot pots, citrus, wine, acids or chemicals like other stone materials.  You outdoor dining and cooking space will stay looking like new and you’ll have more time to have FUN with your guests. Cheers!

EPA Certified Soapstone Wood Stove by M. Teixeira Soapstone

A great option for a free-standing fireplace is a soapstone woodstove. The stove is comprised of an EPA Certified cast iron fire box insert surrounded by a soapstone veneer. The stone retains the heat and makes the stove super efficient.  You can purchase all of our wood stove fireplaces online or call our office to place you order. We also carry soapstone masonry heaters. These are built solely of  soapstone, 100% both inside and out, while the soapstone wood stoves, have a cast iron insert that is covered with soapstone.
