Soapstone is made up of mineral
deposits created by nature and quarried from the earth.
The main mineral components in soapstone include talc,
chlorite, dolomite and magnesite, giving a warm, soft
feeling to the touch.
Green Mountain Soapstone fits
perfectly when it comes to achieving a “rustic” or
“old fashioned” look. It also integrates well with
modern designs, and is offered with many edge treatments
and surface finishes. The addition of soapstone adds value
and elegance to any building project.
Practically indestructible,
Green Mountain Soapstone is an excellent alternative
natural stone to use in place of granite or marble.
Soapstone won't burn or stain and requires very little
maintenance. Green Mountain Soapstones are inert. This
means that acids and alkalis will not etch soapstone as
they will other stones. For decades, soapstone has been
used extensively in laboratories and science classrooms
for sinks, flooring, and work surfaces. Its durable and
dense composition make it ideal for these applications.
Soapstone can be worked by
cabinet makers and woodworkers with conventional wood and
masonry cutting and finishing tools much more easily than
marble or granite. It can also be cut to size on the
job-site by a builder or contractor.
