When it comes to a marble or soapstone edge, remember that the more square your edge is, the more apt it is to chip. You can still mostly achieve the squared look, just have the top rounded off. Stone fabricators refer to it as a “top round”, 1/8″ radius. My suggestion to have the whole kitchen “wear” the same, so make sure to request the edge around your under-mount sink to have the same edge as the perimeter; that way you won’t only see chips around the sink.

  1. Hello,

    My home was completely burned down in the Holiday Farm fire here in Lane county Oregon. We have started the interior design on the rebuild and would like to use soapstone for the kitchen and bath countertops. Haven’t been able to find a retailer in the area, do you have any suggestions that might help find me one?

    Thank you!

  2. Hello,
    We are working on a kitchen redesign and wondering if it is ever possible to come see the slabs as an early part of the design phase, with an intent to purchase once the design is finalized?
