Soapstone remains a top choice for installing bathroom and kitchen countertops in the Wilmington, Swansboro, and New Bern, NC, areas. Its solid appearance, available in an array of natural tones, makes it the perfect complement to nearly every type of decor. Simply choose the slab of stone you love, and we will fabricate a custom-fitted counter for you.
It took millions of years for the earth to create soapstone deposits. As your work surface, cut soapstone is extremely durable and will last the lifetime of your kitchen or bath with proper maintenance. Its nonporousness helps it to resist the formation of water spots and is scratch-resistant. For maintenance, just wipe it down with a mild cleaner once a day, and seal it once a year.
Pore through our hall of stone slabs and select yours from our nearly 50 options. Soapstone can be found in gray, bluish, green, and sometimes brown tones; no two slabs are exactly alike. Flecks of magnesium add texture to its appearance. It often features a darker, more solid look compared to marble or quartzite, which are known for their more visible veins and inclusions.
Soapstone is cut directly from quarries without using chemicals or extensive processing. There is no off-gassing after installation. If you want to exchange your counters at some point in the future, they can easily be recycled or reused for shelving, table tops, or smaller counters.
Did you know that soapstone counters will cost just about the same as man-made quartz? Yes, this means you can upgrade to natural stone and not blow your budget.
Both quartzite and marble tend to cost about the same per square foot for their slabs (although marble can cost more for an exotic pattern), and fabrication and installation costs are roughly the same. For a custom kitchen upgrade, soapstone offers a luxury appearance while keeping your bottom line affordable.
When you choose soapstone or other stone counters for your project, they’ll be custom-fitted to your location. Once your appliances and base cabinetry are installed, we’ll visit your home or business to create a precise template. Back at our shop, your selected slabs will be carved into the exact shape needed for a perfect fit.
Soapstone works for projects of any size or shape with the help of computer-aided design and robotic saws.
