• Types of Outdoor Kitchens

When it comes to the world of landscaping there are several kinds of barbecue and cooking counters to choose from. Meant to last the test of time, the various materials each have their unique advantages. Based on your preferences, you can choose from a range of options to give you the desired look.

• Granite

Polished granite resonates an unparalleled air of luxury. Bringing the indoors into the outdoors, a granite counter top makes a statement. Being heat resistant, enjoy the comforts of the outdoors even in the middle of summer. Granite is easy to clean and highly durable, making it the family spot until your next remodeling. However, since nothing is perfect, be sure to make ample use of your table mats and coasters when hosting a feast. Granite can get grease stains with time. But with the right care, it will look perfectly new for years to come!

• Concrete

Highly versatile, concrete is the perfect option if you’re looking for an unconventionally shaped barbecue counter. Concrete can be cast into various shapes, giving you a smooth surface in the end. It can then be polished and sealed to create several effects. You can further customize it by adding recycled glass pieces for a sparkly effect, or even place fiber optic lights to have the counter come to life at night. If you’d like to make it even more personal, simply cast an artifact into the surface, or create an intricate edge. When it comes to concrete, only your imagination is the limit. At abou ghaly interiors, we work with you to create a unique idea that perfectly suits your needs. Concrete is highly durable, easy to maintain, and extremely difficult to stain. So get as clumsy as you like, this counter top is here to stay.

• Tiles 

For more reasonable options, ceramic and porcelain tiles can be the solution you’ve been looking for. At abou ghaly interiors, we offer a wide range of tiles for you to select from. Tile counter tops are easy to clean with innumerable color and design options. So if you’re opting for tile styles, it’s time to get creative! However, beware of grout. With tile counter tops, regular cleaning is a must to maintain the perfect finish for a long time.

• Flagstone

This is another proven outdoor material. Flagstone counter tops can give your spaces a unique, rustic appearance. Their natural charm is easy to win you over, while the low cost only makes it sound better. However, flagstone is known to stain easy and shale over time, making it low in endurance. Moreover, it’s also extremely difficult to keep clean. So if you’re willing to dedicate time in maintenance and replacement, this can be a worthy investment.
