Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/11/2017 -- The fabricator and installer of South Jersey's best kitchen countertops, Cosmos Marble & Granite, just released a write-up on their website that makes a case for soapstone countertops. According to Cosmos Marble & Granite, there are myriad benefits to picking the natural stone over more common options.
"Soapstone is underrated when compared to other popular materials," said Noula Karagiorgos, owner of Cosmos Marble & Granite. "It has a lot of benefits, and can be had for a fairly median price range."
While it's less expensive than marble on average, soapstone is comparable to high end granite.
The article first notes that soapstone has existed for nearly as long as civilization, and has withstood the test of time. Today, it is considered an exceptional option for homeowners who want a natural rustic feel in their remodeled kitchens or bathrooms.
Soapstone comes in a variety of grayscale color options. "There's no lime green or hot pink option with soapstone, but the greys and blacks are extensive," said Karagiorgos, further noting that "People in the market for soapstone are generally looking for those hues." She also mentioned that soapstone's grayscale color options are neutral, and "go well with virtually all remodel designs."
For homeowners looking for a low maintenance option, soapstone is a good choice. There is no need to treat it regularly, as one would with marble or granite, because it is not porous, inhibiting bacteria's ability to move into its pores. However, it is a very soft stone, which means it is susceptible to scratching. "Make sure to get a nice big cutting board if you're going with soapstone," said Karagiorgos.
