Granite and soapstone offer two very different approaches to hardworking surfaces. Granite is composed of interlocking minerals that produce varied colors, crystalline patterns, and strong resistance to heat and scratching. Soapstone contains talc, giving it a smooth feel, low absorbency, and excellent resistance to heat and acids. It is softer than granite, so scratches and a deepening patina become part of its appearance. Stone Trend helps Seattle clients decide which character better fits their space.
