Weather-ready countertops for patio kitchens, grills and bars, in stone, porcelain and other durable materials.
Outdoor kitchens face sun, rain, heat, temperature swings and grease, and the wrong countertop can fade, crack or stain. Choosing the right material and installing it with the right supports and joints makes the difference between a surface that lasts and one that needs replacing. Homeowners in Nashville ask us to build countertops for grill islands, patio bars and covered outdoor kitchens that stand up to the weather.
We look at the structure, whether it is masonry, steel or wood-framed, and the exposure to sun and rain. We recommend materials that handle outdoor use well, such as granite, porcelain and sintered stone, and we explain the tradeoffs of others. We template around the grill, side burner, sink and refrigerator, plan seams and drainage and fabricate the pieces. Installation includes proper support, outdoor-rated adhesives and sealants and cutouts that follow the equipment specifications.
Granite, porcelain and sintered stone handle sun and weather well, while some engineered surfaces can fade or discolor outdoors.
Outdoor bases must be level, rigid and ready for the weight, and we check them before ordering.
Grills, side burners and sinks come with spec sheets that set the clearances for the cutouts and the gap to combustibles.
Drip edges, sloped surfaces and sealed joints help water run off and keep freeze-thaw damage at bay.
