Soapstone Tiles


Unlimited possibilities

Soapstone offers architects and interior designers an unlimited variety of applications. The stone is easy to work with; it can be lathed, cut or polished. Its surface can be shaped, routed, cut, or milled either by machine or with hand tools. Soapstone endures extremely harsh conditions without complaining. It can withstand the bitter cold of the arctic, the extreme heat and humidity of the tropics, the grueling hot sun, acid rain or the smoke-filled air of industrial areas. It also possesses a phenomenal acid and alkali tolerance.

Did you know?

Among other applications, soapstone can be used for: countertops, tile flooring, facades, staircases, pillars, portals, windowsills, furnishings, interior walls, exterior walls, and wet area floors and walls. Tulikivi soapstone tiles are excellent for use as wall and floor surfacing. A Tulikivi soapstone floor is virtually noiseless. The tiles are ideal for bathrooms and washrooms because they do not absorb water and are not slippery when wet. By installing heating elements under Tulikivi tiles your floor can always be warm to the touch.

Soapstone Characteristics

While soapstone is soft to the touch and is easy to cut & shape, it is also very dense (more dense than granite) and nonporous. Scratches are inevitable but can be easily removed by sanding away the blemish with fine sandpaper. Large blemishes virtually disappear by patching with a soapstone paste mixture, sanding, and finishing. Honed finishes are most popular with soapstone which provide a matte look and velvet-like touch. Customers may also choose a brushed finish which creates a smooth but textured feel with ridges and veins.
