Outdoor kitchens
Outdoor kitchens built for Florida sun.
UV light, heat, rain and pool chemicals are hard on any surface. We recommend only stones that stay stable outside, and finish them for outdoor use.
What is included
- Templating of grill islands and bar tops
- Grill and side-burner cutouts
- Outdoor-rated sealing
- Installation
Options
- Raised bar ledge
- Waterfall ends
- Leathered or honed finish for less glare
- Matching pool coping (on request)
Stones that work best
Granite, quartzite and ultra-compact keep their color in direct sun. We do not recommend quartz outdoors: UV can fade or yellow it.
Edge profiles
The edge is the detail you touch every day. These are the profiles we cut most; we can show samples in the showroom.
Square edge
A straight 90° edge with no rounding at all. Clean and modern, our most requested.
Bevel
A 45° cut on the top corner. Crisp and light.
Full bullnose
Fully rounded. Soft on hips and kids, classic look.
Ogee
An S-shaped curve. Traditional and ornate.
Mitered 45°
Two pieces cut straight at 45° and joined so the counter looks 2–3 inches thick.
Common questions
Will a dark granite get too hot in the sun?
Dark stone gets warm in direct sun. If the bar is uncovered, consider a lighter color or a leathered finish.
Do outdoor counters need more sealing?
Natural stone outdoors should be checked and re-sealed every year.
