Why Soapstone?
|
|
Soapstone's aesthetic fits in any style home
It patinas like a fine antique, is luxurious to feel and look at while not being overly shiny or hard like granite. It doesn't have a tendency to stain like marble does. |
|
|
Soapstone is highly durable
Traditionally used for chemistry lab counters and sinks, soapstone is impervious to food stains. Naturally refractory, dishes hot from the oven aren't a problem on this smooth surface. |
|
|
A variety of patterns
Soapstone comes in many patterns and colors in a range of prices. These options can make your counter or sink a statement piece of your home. |
|
|
Easily maintained
Initially soapstone requires oil three to five times a year. After that you can oil according to your preferences. Read more on soapstone maintenance on our blog. |
Sinks & Counters
|
We have extensive experience creating both traditional and innovative sink styles. You will have a full array of custom elements at your disposal. Our sinks can be sized to your needs and your style, varying in scale between oversized laundry style sinks to small unobtrusive and convenient prep sinks. Rod has sink styles suitable for kitchens, laundry rooms and greenhouses. He creates both counter integrated sinks, and freestanding sinks with legs. Another element of design is the front face of the sink. Farm sink styles, available with either an angled or flat front, create an emphasis and interplay with the soapstone of the back splash, while counter inset sinks create a strong unbroken line where the cabinets and counters meet.
|
Proper engineering is essential to the creation of a soapstone sink. We shape the sink base to speed all water toward the drain. We pays particular attention to the placement and finishing of seams, removing concerns of harbored bacteria. Subtle details like these add effortless enhancement and efficiency to your daily tasks.
We are also able to seamlessly integrate sinks of alternate materials in either over or under counter placements. |
New England Hearth & Soapstone recently laid out and installed soapstone countertops in the kitchen and laundry room of our newly built home. The soapstone is absolutely gorgeous, and the workmanship is perfect! Rod is so easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable about his product. The installation was on time and the slabs of soapstone he chose to use on our project give our kitchen the warm and very unique feel we were looking for. We highly recommend New England Hearth & Soapstone!"

Design Details
|
Design details change the way that we feel in a space. They enhance or impede our workflow. They frame our view of the room, and can be the difference between a mundane counter and an extraordinary one. One reoccurring theme is sculptural details, where the counter is painstakingly ground away to create a smooth, sinuous feel, and an unexpected source of function. Another theme is the rethinking of design challenges, such as seams and transitions. These are placed with a deliberate approach, placing value on the ultimate aesthetic atmosphere over the convenience of the builder. Be ready to change your level of expectation, and see what counters can offer you.
