Today, we’ll be helping you decide whether to use granite or quartzite as a weather-resistant outdoor kitchen countertop material.
Home remodeling is never going to be easy, but it’s a great way to make your home more valuable and enjoyable. For those with outdoor kitchens, one remodeling project you could consider is the installation of a new outdoor kitchen countertop. Since your countertop will be exposed to the weather around the clock, it’s important to choose a countertop material that holds up well, regardless of weather conditions. Two popular countertop materials for this purpose are granite and quartzite. Today, we’ll be helping you decide whether to use granite or quartzite as a weather-resistant outdoor kitchen countertop material.
Granite Countertops
Granite countertops are widely used both for indoor and outdoor kitchens. It’s a material that’s known for its high durability and elegant appearance.
What’s great about granite is that it has resistance against intense heat, weathering, and scratching. This helps your outdoor kitchen countertop endure the weather, while also holding up well against everyday use that could scratch other, more fragile surfaces.
You can get granite countertops in a variety of different patterns and colors. This lets you find a countertop that not only serves the functions you need it to serve, but also fit the aesthetic that you want for your outdoor landscape.
Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite is another option you have for your outdoor kitchen countertop material. This material is created from both quartz and sandstone that are put under high pressure and heat. This is what gives quartzite its high heat resistance. It also resists against scratching and staining, meaning your countertop can continue to look like new for a long time to come.
The natural aesthetic that quartzite countertops provide offers your yard a little extra sophistication and character, allowing you to create a truly unique look for your outdoor landscape. As long as you stay on top of maintenance tasks, and you seal your countertop regularly, you can have a gorgeous-looking countertop for many years to come, even when the weather gets rough.
