Customers are always asking about the pros and cons of soapstone as compared to granite and marble counters. Visually the thing that jumps out at you initially is that granite kitchen counters are shiny and more colorful once you get past the visuals there are significant differences. Both marble and granite kitchen tops are porous while soapstone is not at all. You can not stain soapstone so that is a big plus for soapstone. The downside is that soapstone is more prone to scratching as compared to granite surface countertops.
