While there are tons of options for indoor countertops, from marble to quartz or even ceramic ones, there is usually not as much to choose from for outdoor countertops options. If you are looking forward to enjoying your outdoor dining experience at the backyard, want to make your house renovation special, or can’t wait to have an outdoor countertop for your special project — stay with us! Today we will explore what is the best material, what options you should avoid,  and show some of the best designs for outdoor counters.

Granite

If properly sealed and maintained, granite is definitely the best material for outdoor kitchen countertops, bars, tables, or other surfaces. Good sealant also makes granite stain and mold resistant. It is one of the most durable kinds of natural stone, which also makes it better at not being damaged even by quite severe weather conditions. Many of the granite’s colors will not fade in the sun. Consider having a honed finish for the granite surface to make the countertop fit better into the natural environment.

Quartz

Despite being a great solution for indoors counters, quartz is not recommended for outdoor use. Countertops may fade because of longtime exposure to direct sunlight.
