Soapstone Waiver

  • Soapstone surfaces are often selected for their extensive beauty and elegance. Although Soapstone is a natural stone it is more susceptible to staining and scratching by many common liquids or substances found in homes. Any acidic substance that may meet your Soapstone countertops can cause a chemical reaction that will etch and remove the polish of the Soapstone. The Granite Guy uses the highest level of care when working with Soapstone, but certain characteristics of Soapstone may be unavoidable.

    • Some marbles are harder than other marbles and will hold up better, but no marble is harder than granite and may scratch.
    • Some Soapstones are harder than other Soapstones and will hold up better, but no Soapstone is harder than granite and may scratch.

    • Soapstone may lose shine over time.
    • Soapstone requires frequent applications of sealant.
