Outdoor kitchens serve to enhance any property while also providing a unique space to extend the living area of a home. Becoming more and more popular, these special areas are being implemented as a part of many new construction builds or added through the use of upgrades or remodeling projects to existing structures. The ability to not only cook outside but also serve, entertain, and conduct a full meal without the hassle of having to constantly go in and out has opened up so many new possibilities for homeowners.

There are multiple benefits of having an outdoor kitchen. Not only do these areas provide ample space to entertain while enjoying the company of family and friends, but they also allow for easier cleanup following a meal without producing the side effects of cooking which could potentially damage the interior of a home. All smells or any spills that may cause harm to an indoor kitchen don’t have quite the same amount of impact in an outdoor space.

However, there is one question that property owners face when installing or upgrading their outdoor kitchen entertainment spaces revolving around countertops. Always an issue, whether selecting for the primary kitchen or outside, getting the right countertops is important and granite is a step above many of the other available options for a few reasons.

Countertop Durability

A solid stone, granite can stand up to the elements of being exposed consistently to the many different weather conditions Mother Nature allows. From rain, snow, sleet, and hail - granite is a (literal) solid option for outdoor use.

Countertop Flexibility

Just because the space is being outdoors doesn’t mean those who care about design are giving up their right to have an input. Fortunately, granite countertop colors range from dark to light and can fit into virtually any design scheme imaginable.

Countertop Upkeep

Being outdoors and exposed to the elements, granite countertops will require a bit more upkeep than their interior counterparts but a few more sealings and wipe downs are worth the investment. As with any stone, exposure is going to wear them over time but knowing you have the best surface available should make most homeowners rest easy.
