How to Choose the Best Worktop for Your Outdoor Kitchen

Building an outdoor kitchen is one of the best ways to extend your home and make the most out of your outdoor space. But when it comes to outdoor kitchen design, choosing the best worktop is crucial. Your countertop needs to be able to handle the ups and downs of British weather, and still look beautiful year after year.

If you're wondering whether to choose granite, marble, quartzite, or our brand-new UV-protected quartz, here’s what you need to know:

Granite Worktops for Outdoor Kitchens

Granite is a popular choice for outdoor kitchens because of its durability, heat-resistance and strength. It can handle heavy use, high temperatures, and outdoor weather with ease. With a little care and maintenance, this natural stone can make for an excellent, stress-free outdoor worktop choice.

Marble Worktops for Outdoor Kitchens

While marble is a stunning and classic natural stone, its composition makes it more prone to staining and scratching, particularly if left exposed to the elements. If your heart is set on one of our marble stones, we'd recommend it for an outdoor kitchen that's covered by a pergola, for a luxurious touch.

Quartzite Worktops for Outdoor Kitchens

Quartzite is a stunning natural stone option that combines beauty with serious strength. Its natural beauty and intricate detail are hard to compare, and it is stronger than marble, highly resistant to UV rays, and less likely to stain.

For outdoor kitchens that need both performance and elegance, quartzite is a great choice.

Our New Outdoor Quartz: UV-Protected, Bio-Resin, and Weather-Resistant

Traditional quartz isn’t usually recommended for outdoor use, however, our new outdoor Quartz changes that. Specially designed for the outdoors, our UV-protected quartz resists fading and discolouration. Made with bio-resin and fully weather-resistant, it stays strong and vibrant through all seasons. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a low-maintenance, high-performance surface that can handle everything the outdoors throws at it.

Overall

When choosing a worktop for your outdoor kitchen, think beyond just style. Durability, weather resistance, and long-term maintenance all matter. Whether you prefer the natural strength of granite, the luxury of marble, the resilience of quartzite, or the performance of our UV-protected quartz, we have the perfect surface to bring your outdoor kitchen vision to life.
