Soapstone is a very clean, easily maintained stone that will compliment the style of your home and lifestyle. Soapstone is a light gray color in its natural state, but prefers to darken through use over time. Often, Soapstone owners prefer to apply mineral oil to help bring out the natural aesthetic properties and beauty of the stone, though this is not required. Soapstone is the most dense of all of the natural stones and has near zero porosity. Because of this, Soapstone has great properties that help homeowners in every day kitchen use.

Soapstone is increasing in popularity across the country, and around the world, and for good reason! Soapstone backsplashes are the obvious choice if you are already sold on soapstone countertops. Soapstone can be installed in one solid slab custom cut to fit your backsplash. That means no grout lines, unsightly joints, and the introduction of a new, more porous material that is potentially less safe for your family. Marble, Granite and Quartz slabs can become so common due to the volume of the same color, quality, and finish of stone that can be quarried from any one location.

Remember those high school lab tables that were impervious to just about any liquid, chemical or heat?

Soapstone is incredibly durable. It is impervious to just about all liquids and chemicals making it stain resistant and incredibly easy to clean. Soapstone is also one of the least porous stones, meaning it is extremely hygienic and has a high degree of resistance to heat. That means you don't have to worry about putting hot pots and pans right off the stove into your soapstone sink. Soapstone is so durable in fact, that it's not uncommon to come across stoves and sinks manufactured in the 1800's still in use today.

Durable, beautiful, and easy to maintain, soapstone is an excellent material to make a backsplash out of. Not only is it crack and dent resistant, if you accidentally get a scratch on it, but soapstone can also be easily buffed out. Because soapstone is a naturally occurring mineral, any scratches on your soapstone backsplash could simply add character. When sourcing your soapstone counter, soapstone sink, or backsplash, you can trust the experts at Soapstone Werks. We are passionate about this naturally occurring material.

Kitchen countertops are a large decision to make when either building a new home or renovating. The amount of countertop trends that have come and gone over the years number in the dozens, and each one totes an aggressive justification by its ambassadors. But one aspect of countertop design that tends to monopolize the discussion is the backsplash. Some kitchens have one, others don't. The most obvious reason to include a backsplash is as its name suggests: preventing damage to your wall due to water and debris.
