Granite outdoor kitchen – for the great summer parties
Summer is indisputably the best season to have parties, invite our friends to have a BBQ, and spend some time together.
Isn’t it great to sit around chatting and enjoying the weekend, while having a great lunch or dinner?
But for some, a simple grill is not enough, because they want something that can be used for multiple purposes, and to have a place made specially to cook in the open air.
Outdoor kitchens or summer kitchens are the things these people are looking for, a fully functional culinary unit equipped with everything that’s needed to produce the food you’d like.
And to make it not just stylish, but resistant and valuable, the best decision is to have it made with natural stone elements – granite, for example.
Why granite is a good choice?
Granite is one of the most common volcanic stones on earth, that’s a well-known fact.
But if it’s that common, why can it be a good choice for not just an indoor, but an outdoor kitchen countertop, backsplash or side covers to be made from?
Because granite is quite hard, solid, it has a beautiful pattern and colors, and with the proper treatment, it’s highly resistant.
Compared to marble, which is not recommended for outdoor use, due to its weakness to sunlight, granite will do just fine.
However, you must be careful, because granite can still be stained by oils or grease and can be etched by acidic liquids.
So, if your future summer kitchen has a grill built in it, always be sure to clean the granite countertop around it after use, preventing darker spots.
Are there any cons of having a granite outdoor kitchen?
Well, one of the most important things you must think of is the summer heat.
The darker the granite you’d like your outdoor kitchen elements to be made of, the more heat it will absorb from the sun.
The other one is the rain that can stain granite surfaces after a time, because of the dust it contains.
So, if you’d really like your outdoor kitchen with granite elements, we recommend you consider one covered by a roof.
But if you want it to be totally open, maybe porcelain or Dekton would be a better choice of material.
