Very prevalent in the north east used as a traditional look, Soapstone is now being used with a flat edge for clean, con temporary rooms.

"Soapstone is a very versatile stone with a look all its own," says Chad Seiders, Artisan Group Executive Director. "The addition of Niagara Black to the Saratoga Soapstone line will provide homeowners with just one more design choice from the Artisan Group branded palette to fit their style. With exotic and classic granite, marble, soapstone, and Heritage Wood reclaimed and exotic wood, Artisan Group is a premium countertop destination throughout North America in-store or online."

Quarried like granite but with a velvety smooth texture, soapstone is a heavy, mineral talc composition that can endure temperatures up to 600 degrees. Used for years in fireplaces, wood stoves, and ovens, soapstone has recent ly made its mark with interior designers, home builders, architects, and countertop fabricators to achieve a rustic, early American look, yet versatile enough to be used in modern and con temporary interior designs.

Saratoga Soapstone has its own care kit-Saratoga Wax-available from Artisan Group member companies.
