Your outdoor kitchen countertop needs to handle everything from intense UV exposure to rainstorms to hot grill pans. Choosing the wrong material leads to cracking, fading, and expensive replacements.
Natural Granite: The Popular Choice
Granite is the most common outdoor kitchen countertop material. It's durable, heat-resistant, and available in countless colors. However, it requires annual sealing for outdoor use.
Concrete: Custom and Contemporary
Poured concrete countertops offer unlimited shape and color options. They're extremely durable but require regular sealing and can develop hairline cracks over time.
