Choosing Soapstone Sinks for Your Home

The Dorado Soapstone collection consists of eight different types of Brazilian soapstone that are used to construct soapstone sinks. The soapstone slabs are available in many different sizes that range in dimension from 48” x 26” to as large as 116” x 66” and anything that falls in between these ranges. The product materials that are used to develop the Soapstone line include the following:

Beleza Stone is a medium pearl grey that has flowing veins of an emerald color. When they are oiled they appear to have a dark black undertone with marbling of a dark green color.

The Beleza leathered stone has a texture that is light to medium on the surface. The base has emerald veins that are medium to dark green. Like the Beleza stone, when they are oiled, this stone has dark black undertones and marbling of a dark green color.

Jucca is light grey and charcoal which becomes dark charcoal in color with white veins when it is oiled.

Minas are light blue grey in color with white veins that are small to medium in size. The color changes to dark black with white veins that are small to medium in size then the stone is oiled.

The Verde Minas are medium blue in color and have white veins that range from small to large. After oiling they stone ranges in color from dark green to black and has white veins that range from small to large.

Other Options

Dorado soapstone sinks are available in customized hand carved styles or fabricated. There are several different models including the double bowl farm front or the hand carved bathroom sink. For anyone who has a particular style in mind, Dorado can customize any sink of your choice. For the contractor who has a particular style in mind for a new housing line or the homeowner who just wants something special, this is a feature that makes these sinks very marketable.

In order to differentiate, hand crafted sinks are designed by using a single soapstone block while the fabricated varieties are custom cut and then put together. The choice is up to the individual, and prices will vary according to the style and material that is used to build the sink.

Choosing a hand crafted sink can make a difference in the way your home looks and even in its value. The more you invest into making your home more appealing, the more you will enjoy living in it. Choosing a sink that blends in well with the rest of the room's decor will greatly enhance its beauty. This is especially important in the kitchen. A new soapstone sink can create a new atmosphere in your kitchen.
