Heat-Smart Design

Position grills away from seating areas. Install ceiling fans in covered structures. Use light-colored countertops that don't absorb heat. Consider misting systems for extreme heat days.

Heat-Resistant Materials

Granite or quartzite countertops handle heat better than solid surface. Stainless steel appliances should be marine-grade to prevent sun damage. Shade structures are non-negotiable.
