ABOUT US

We are Vancouver Island's only dedicated soapstone fabrication facility. We specialize in custom work and are prepared to go the extra mile if you require something out of the ordinary. Island Soapstone serves the entire Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast and Lower Mainland and have a large selection of slabs in stock. Soapstone is one of the best natural surfaces a homeowner can choose for a countertop. It is warm and inviting and provides a unique look – the perfect balance between old-world charm and modern functionality. Island Soapstone can elevate your kitchen countertops from ordinary to totally extraordinary. Soapstone is a superb choice for kitchen or bath countertops, backsplashes or islands. The durable and dense surface of Soapstone gives your counters all the beauty of traditional marble or granite surfaces – with some extra benefits. We are often asked whether Soapstone is a hard enough surface: In short – it is. The slabs we use are Brazilian and Canadian architectural grade soapstone. The stone is as hard as most marbles and much harder than the soapstones traditionally used for carvings. Discerning homeowners have long known the advantages of soapstone countertops. They are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also sensuous and one of the most practical counter surfaces you can buy. You will be hard pressed to find a countertop material with the same warmth and practicality soapstone has to offer. If you would like to see any of our kitchens “in action”, please contact us. Our clients are always happy to show off their new counter tops and we could make arrangements for a viewing at any time.

TESTIMONIALS

I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. From the initial visit to their farm to check out the various options, to picking out our slabs, to their taking a template of our counters, designing the various cuts in the slabs and installing them, Adri and Casper provided an amazing experience and a memorable end product. We get rave reviews on our countertops, primarily because of the care, thought and hard work they put into the layout and installation. They were wonderful to work with - low key, high integrity and really following through on their promises. We have installed two kitchen counters with them and would seek them out if we had another project.Read More
