Why do many Northern Europeans, who pride themselves on aesthetic tastes and keeping warm, prefer soapstone to traditional masonry?  Soapstone's density and crystalline structure allow it to store and transfer heat more efficiently than traditional masonry materials.  Its beauty and workability allow for a variety of design choices.

We design and build custom Finnish contraflow fireplaces with a variety of soapstone veneers.  For more information see Custom Finnish Fireplaces.
