Edge Detail

Over the Forth of July weekend, Teresina Soapstone was featured on the “The Ultimate Crash” airing on both DIY Network and HGTV.  This special season premier episode featured a backyard, kitchen, and bathroom overhaul.  Teresina Soapstone was featured in the bathroom remodel!  

“Bath Crashers” contacted us to feature our Soapstone countertops in their bathroom remodel because they knew Soapstone provides a unique yet proven alternative to traditional bathroom countertops.  The combination of durability and design was just what they were looking to highlight.  We were excited to share our passion of Soapstone with such a large audience and we look forward to continuing the exposure.

Last week we installed a new countertop display featuring a different variety of soapstone called Minas Duro. The Minas Duro is very dark once oiled, and highlighted by vibrant green undertones and detailed white veining. Click here to view slab photos of our current inventory.

On this new display, we opted to fabricate a chiseled edge. The chiseled edge is done by hand to create a natural, unrefined finishing touch.

A chisled edge compliments soapstone well. Since soapstone countertops have a honed, matte finish, your edge detail choice can vary from classic, to sleek, to rustic. Although the majority of our customers choose an “eased” edge with a simple squared-off profile of the 1 1/4″ thick stone, the chisled edge offers a unique alternative.
