QUARTZITE COUNTERTOPS

Quartzite is an ideal choice for outdoor countertops due to its durability and natural beauty. This natural stone offers a hard, dense surface that resists scratching and chipping. Its low porosity means it stands up well against weathering and staining, particularly important in outdoor settings where countertops are exposed to the elements like rain and UV rays.

PORCELAIN COUNTERTOPS

Manufactured from refined clay and fired at high temperatures, porcelain slabs are non-porous, resistant to thermal shock, and extremely hard-wearing. Porcelain countertops come in a variety of designs, including patterns that mimic marble, travertine, and even concrete, allowing for customization of your outdoor space.

*Please note that only 12mm thickness is recommended for countertop use.

GRANITE COUNTERTOPS

Granite remains one of the most popular choices for outdoor countertops due to its natural strength and variety of rich, vibrant colors. As a natural stone, each granite slab is unique, with distinct patterns and color variations that add character to any outdoor kitchen.
