Soapstone for Fireplaces: Surrounds & Hearths

Why you should use soapstone for your fireplace?

Soapstone is a no-brainer for fireplaces because of its heat-resistant properties and constant heat radiation benefit, which maximizes the heat output to your home!

This highly-functional stone adds beauty and prestige to your decor and works nicely for many different home styles. Whether you are going for a more modern or colonial & rustic look, soapstone will do the job.

It will not stain, unlike marble or granite which need constant resealing. Ashes, coal drops, soot & smoke residue, or even accidental wine drops will not affect soapstone and they can easily be wiped off.
