UPDATE: OUTDOOR KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS

It takes some planning and research to decide what type of outdoor countertop
material would be best for an outdoor kitchen or grill area. Whatever material
you choose should be incredibly durable and easy to clean.


OUTDOOR COUNTERTOPS & OUTDOOR KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS

Outdoor kitchen countertops are a key element in creating a functional and
stylish outdoor cooking space. There are many different materials to choose
from, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some popular choices for
outdoor countertops include concrete, stone, and tile.

Here is a quick overview of some of the most popular options:


CONCRETE

Concrete is a very popular choice for outdoor countertops because it is durable
and easy to clean. It can also be stained or painted to match your other outdoor
decor.

They can be custom-made to any size and shape, and come in a variety of colors.
The main downside to concrete is that it can be quite expensive.


STONE

Stone countertops, such as granite or marble, are also very durable and easy to
clean. They offer a natural beauty that many other materials cannot match.
However, they can be more expensive than other materials.


GRANITE

Granite is one of the best choices for an outdoor area due to its strong
durability and low maintenance. Weather isn’t a match for granite, as it handles
well in all types of climates. Often with outdoor countertops in your kitchen or
grill areas, you will notice that things get messier than they would indoors.
Granite can handle all kinds of food, drink and weather. Granite won’t lose its
shine, etch or discolor due to spills. Just be sure to seal the granite to
prevent stains. 

However, there are lots of granite varieties that are dense enough that you
don’t need to apply a sealer. If you don’t use a sealer and you do happen to
stain the countertops, it can usually be removed or the natural elements will
rid them over time. With regular cleaning, your granite countertops will look
fabulous for years!


SOAPSTONE

Soapstone countertops are a good choice for outdoor kitchens due to how
resistant it is to heat and stains. It performs well but can be scratched pretty
easily, but they are rather easy to repair as well. One consideration with
soapstone is that if the stone is not sealed, it will darken over time due to
fingerprints, oils, and liquids. The darkened areas wash off eventually, but
they can ruin the overall aesthetic of the countertop. Oil can be applied to
give the soapstone a dark shine, but this has to be done regularly. Besides the
few cosmetic issues, soapstone is fairly low maintenance and durable.


SLATE

Slate is an option, but it’s important to consider that no two slates are the
same, which means they will not perform the same. The characteristics can
actually vary greatly. Some slate can be dense, very durable and able to resist
heavy use and stains. On the other hand, some slate can easily scratch, stain,
cleave and crack. Unless you are guaranteed top quality in the slate you plan to
purchase, other options are advised to use for outdoor kitchens over slate.


MARBLE

Natural marble is another choice that works best if the finish is honed and you
don’t care about it getting stained or etched. A honed finish is suggested
because the natural elements will wear away a polished finish. The natural
elements will also wash away any stains and wear away any etch marks, which will
also naturally age the natural marble creating a rustic appearance. Stains and
etches can also be removed when needed. The most that is required for years of
use is normal clean up if the aforementioned factors are not a problem for you.


STONE TILES

Remember that stone tiles can be used as well, but keep in mind that the grout
will stain, get dirty, or even break apart. So, tiles are not the best from a
maintenance perspective, but it is a good option if you’re on a budget and if
you can provide some extra TLC regularly.


CORIAN AND QUARTZ

Corian and quartz countertops should be avoided for outdoor use. Corian
countertops fade, stain, burn, and scratch easily. Quartz’s resin/color topcoat
will turn yellow in the natural elements and sun.


BOTTOM LINE

No matter what material you choose for your outdoor kitchen countertops, be sure
to do your research to find the most durable and easy-to-clean option. With a
little bit of planning, you can have the perfect outdoor kitchen that will be
the envy of all your friends and family.

When trying to decide your countertops for your outdoor kitchen or bar area, you
have some options to consider. Depending on what type of look you are going for,
how much maintenance you are willing to put in, and how much use it will be
getting, you can go with granite, soapstone, slate or natural marble.  

Give us a call today and let’s plan your outdoor project!
