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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
