What is Soapstone?

Soapstone is a natural stone comprised of deposits of talc, chlorite, dolomite, and magnesite. Although naturally hard, the large amount of talc found in Soapstone makes it soft to the touch and warm in any application. With unique, light flowing veins, it also has a striking combination of beauty and function. That is why it is a perfect surface for your BuschTop.®

As an inert stone, Soapstone will not etch when in contact with acids and alkalies, as other natural stones do. Likewise, Soapstone is practically indestructible! Both heat-resistant and non-porous, it will not burn or stain and requires very little maintenance. As a unique alternative to granite or marble, Soapstone is both practical and luxurious in the kitchen, bathroom, powder room, laundry room, or home office.

Whether in its natural state, or treated with mineral oil, Soapstone adds depth and elegance. As a soft stone, it is also easy to work and offers unlimited design options to give you a truly custom surface.
