Soapstone
Soapstone slabs come in a vast variety of unique colours and textures, making them a versatile yet stunning choice for any living space. As a result, soapstone is a popular choice for countertops, backsplashes and feature walls. An elegant natural stone, soapstone is often specifically sought after by designers to achieve the sort of elevated design aesthetic that only a soapstone slab can provide. Soapstone is composed of naturally compressed talc, which makes it a very soft natural stone that is very susceptible to scratches, but don’t let this steer you away from this beautiful material. Soapstone is naturally non-porous and generally resistant to acid staining or etching making soapstone countertops a popular option. Stone Selection maintains a small selection of soapstone in Calgary and has over 30 years of experience sourcing and preparing natural stones, including soapstone, for all uses.

Soapstone for special Uses
Soapstone is an elegant and smart option for exterior applications in Calgary – such as an outdoor kitchen or barbeque area. Soapstone countertops are a top choice in these contexts because they offer great thermal properties and generally do not discolour over time, even when used outside or in very sunny locations. Specifically, soapstone countertops are a popular choice for outdoor kitchens because they are resilient to Calgary’s seasonal climate. Soapstone is a premium-priced natural stone, so its uses are often limited to smaller applications. If you are designing an outdoor kitchen, consider a soapstone countertop and create an elevated outdoor dining and cooking experience.

Soapstone Slabs a Rich History
The uses for soapstone in North America as cooking slabs, bowls, and various other objects date back as far as 8000 BCE. Due to its variability in talc content, soapstone has been highly prized throughout history for its unique features of being soft enough to carve, its capacity for heat insulation, and of course its natural beauty. From the Neolithic period to now, and all across the world, soapstone countertops have been celebrated.
