Counter tops are a major part of your kitchen design. There are so many options today to give your kitchen the look and functionality you want in your home. Great choices available for counter tops include granite and many other types of natural stone. Most people would think making your selection of color and material would be all you have to do. But an often overlooked item is the edging of your countertops.

Yes, edging is very important to give your counter top the overall look you want. There are straight edges, beveled edges and rounded edges. There are decorative edges as well that will give your countertops a completely different look than plain edges. So when you’re choosing your counter top material, remember to decide on what kind of edges you want for your new kitchen design.

Maybe you’ve experienced using soapstone utensils such as cookie molds, cookie sheets, or pizza bakers. If you’ve ever used a product made from soapstone, you’re familiar with the warm feeling it emits and you know that with every use, the soapstone becomes more and more lovely.

Well, you may not realize it, but soapstone is a fantastic choice for counter tops. Several reasons soapstone is the counter top that can truly last forever include the following:

1.   Soapstone is non-porous
2.   It is a very dense stone that can weigh up to 20lbs per square foot
3.   Soapstone is one of the few stones that is warm to the touch
4.   It does not absorb stains or liquids
5.   Requires no special cleaners
6.   Not affected by acidic materials
7.   Requires no sealing

Almost nothing can damage a soapstone counter top. Even the hottest pan won’t damage soapstone even if put directly on top.

DirectBuy carries a wide selection of counter top materials and most everything else you need to upgrade your kitchen to the highest level of efficiency and style – all at manufacturer-direct prices.
