Outdoor Kitchen Countertop |
Article Number: 195 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
Hi Maurizio - great site you have. I am planning an outdoor Kitchen. While most of the counter area will be covered, some areas will be exposed to weather. I was thinking of a bluestone counter with a honed finish. Would you have any concerns with using the material? If so, any other suggestions? Thank you - Michael
Dear Michael:
Thank you for your nice words!
Bluestone is a variety of sandstone. Personally, indoor or outdoors, I wouldn't consider using that material as a countertop for a kitchen if they'd pay me to get it. But then again, both my wife and I do use the kitchen (and the countertops) a lot!
If you like the rustic look, I would consider soapstone. If contemporary is within your range, then nothing could beat a good selection of Grigio Sardo (a.k.a. Slat & Pepper) or Rosa Beta polished granite. Beautiful, timeless, beyond any trend and as bullet-proof as they come!
Just take good care of it wit the right cleaning products and… enjoy!!
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at:

:-)
Ciao and good luck,
Mauri
