Outdoor Spaces
Weatherproof stone for garden kitchens and barbecue runs, chosen to hold its colour outdoors and cut to fit around sinks, hobs and built-in appliances.
An outdoor kitchen has to cope with sun, rain and frost as well as cooking. Certain granites are well suited to it because they hold their colour in daylight and shrug off the weather, so the surface still looks right season after season.
We template your outdoor run, cut openings for sinks, burners and built-in barbecues, and fit the stone to suit a garden setting. We will steer you towards materials that are made for the outdoors and away from any that are not.
What we make
One team runs the job from first measurement to final fit.
Weatherproof materials
Hard-wearing granites that hold their colour in sunlight and cope with rain and frost.
Built-in appliances
Openings cut for burners, sinks, fridges and built-in barbecues, finished on every edge.
Colour that lasts
Materials chosen to resist fading so the surface still looks right after a few summers.
Cut for a garden setting
Overhangs, edges and drainer details planned for how an outdoor kitchen is actually used.
The materials
Marble, quartz, granite and porcelain, with more available on request. Not sure what suits you? We will tell you the truth, not just what is easiest to sell.
See the stone in your own kitchen
We bring the samples to you and look at them in your own light, at no charge. If something suits the room better than what you had in mind, we will say so.
