Specifications Table:

Coverage & How Much You Need:

A 48 in. x 96 in. sheet covers 32 square feet and a 60 in. x 144 in. sheet covers 60 square feet, so most runs need one sheet plus offcuts for splashes. Use the 43 in. x 24 in. repeat when matching the stone pattern across seams and upstand joints.

Fit and Compatibility:

Standard, vertical and postform grades bond to particleboard or MDF with contact adhesive, with a backer sheet on the reverse face. Compact 1/2 in. panels are self-supporting and need no substrate; choose Chemsurf or 605 Fire Rated Postform where chemical resistance or fire-rated postform specification applies.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Oiled Soapstone in matte or fine velvet is one of the most forgiving dark stone looks for kitchens because it masks water spotting and daily wear. For a rolled-edge top, order postform grade and check the grain direction before postforming so the repeat flows over the nose. For islands or open shelving, the 1/2 in. compact grade saves fabrication time, and in labs or healthcare work specify Chemsurf; always balance-bond standard sheets with a backer.

Support full sheets on a large table when routing or slitting, wear eye protection and gloves, and use two people to move big panels.
