Solid surface can be fabricated not only into countertops, but washable wainscot, wall cladding, and showers, or backsplashes scored to look like tile, battens, or beadboard. Solid surface mimics natural stone, concrete, or quartz in softer, more subtle hues. Unlike the stones, solid colors are also available. Minor abrasions can be sanded and repaired.

Soapstone
Soapstone is a natural stone, found in many historic homes as well as modern kitchens. The tones typically range from chalky gray to deep green. For the look of a gracefully aged countertop, soapstone is a natural choice. Soapstone is not as hard as granite: it is stone that can be carved like “soap” into apron front farm sinks or even cookware. Although soapstone is highly heat resistant, superficial scratches and edges wear over time. In order to enhance and preserve the appearance of your countertop, soapstone periodically needs to be oiled.
