Outdoor kitchen guides
Best worktop materials for an outdoor kitchen.
Not every worktop material that works indoors holds up outside — here's what to look for.
Porcelain
A popular, hard-wearing choice for outdoor kitchens, resistant to UV fading, staining and frost damage, and generally the more budget-friendly of the two most common weatherproof options.
Granite and natural stone
Extremely durable and weather-resistant, with a natural look many homeowners prefer, though it sits at the premium end of the cost range and may need periodic sealing depending on the specific stone.

FAQs.
Can I use standard kitchen worktop material outside?
Not recommended — materials designed for indoor use often aren't rated for UV exposure, frost and constant weathering, and will deteriorate faster outdoors.
