Outdoor Kitchens With Laminated Countertops Simplify Summer Entertainment

CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA-Kitchens are the essence of the home as well as the life-force of any successful get-together. With summer quickly approaching, a change in weather can mean a change in scenery.

Adding an outdoor kitchen is a great solution for those who like to entertain outside during the summer, as it can do the hard work for them.

An outdoor kitchen provides a simple way to enjoy an indoor experience in the luxury of the backyard. It's an extension of the home that can be linked by matching construction materials and a permanent roof, which will make it functional throughout the year.

An outdoor kitchen incorporates the best features of an indoor kitchen with the advantage of being outdoors. It can be as small or as large as homeowners want and there are various ways to personalize an outdoor kitchen.

Possible features include:
  • Outdoor grill
  • Outdoor refrigerator
  • Food perpetration area
  • Pizza oven
  • Fire pit
  • Table top appliances that can be used outdoor
  • Cabinets to hold dishes, glasses and other cookware
  • Wet bar
  • Lighting to illuminate kitchen area

Similar to an indoor kitchen, an outdoor version could include countertops, but it's important to choose a durable material. Some choices include granite, concrete, slate, marble, tile and laminate countertops, which are easy to clean. Lastly the right flooring should be considered. Tile and marble are best avoided as they can be slippery. Poured concrete or brick pavers are best suited for outside use.

While an outdoor kitchen project can be tackled alone, there are some issues that are best consulted with professionals. They can help find reputable flooring contractors to assure quality installation of floors, as well as recommend grease trap cleaning services to maintain proper function of plumbing.
