Faucets & Fixtures: Soapstone Sink Roundup

November 19, 2009

We like the look, feel, and functionality of farmhouse-style sinks made of soapstone, which is impervious to chemicals, acid, and water and doesn’t burn or stain, making it an ideal material for kitchen use. We’ve rounded up a selection of soapstone sinks.

Above: The single-bowl Boston Soapstone Sink (shown in oiled Ice Flower) offers a  26.5-inch-wide single bowl and is 7.75 inches deep;

$650 at Green Mountain Soapstone, which maintains its own soapstone quarries in Vermont.

Above R: The custom Laundry Sink from Vermont Soapstone measures 24 by 24 by 12 inches with a 12-inch backsplash and costs approximately $1,300. Vermont Soapstone closed its Vermont quarry in 2004 and is awaiting permitting to open another Vermont quarry; in the meantime, the company is importing its soapstone from Brazil.
