Outdoor Kitchens Made from Concrete

May 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Concrete Kitchens - Lands Concrete:A popular new idea in home design is catching on like wild fire. People all over the country are deciding to use their outdoor spaces in ways that were never thought of in the past. Outdoor eating areas have always been desirable and most homes have patios or decks on which to barbeque in appropriate weather.

The backyard patio barbeque has, however, reached new heights in design and use. The new patio is now more of a kitchen. Some are complete with full cooking and food prep areas, sinks, and dining tables. Full wet bars are also included in many outdoor kitchens.

Using concrete to build these wonderful additions to the living space in your home is quite natural, as concrete is common to any outdoor setting and has always been used effectively. Patios, steps, benches, and other outdoor furniture are made with concrete because of its excellent weather resistant properties and easy washability. Hose it off and let it air dry. You can even walk on it and use it wet if you have included anti-slip surfacing.

Backyard kitchen designs include sinks, bars, storage, and cooking surfaces along with barbeque appliances. It is a growing trend among homeowners, particularly in areas with milder weather. Areas of the country where harsher weather is present for part of the year can take advantage of these durable additions as concrete does hold up well in any weather. If you would like a concrete kitchen in your backyard, contact a professional to see what is available to you and how to best design it to accommodate your weather and seasonal patterns.

Countertops included in the backyard kitchens are popular because of their flexibility in design and easy cleanup and maintenance features. Countertops can be made in almost any color and in many different textured looks. Concrete is quite neutral on its own and can be used with finishes that mimic tile, marble, and other popular looks. Stamping the concrete can create a look that is unique to your kitchen area.

Design a concrete kitchen for your yard with inlaid ceramic tile for a dramatic look. Use a tile made from your family crest or monogram if you are particularly proud of your property and the backyard kitchen overlooking your vast spread or your ocean view. It’s yours to decide what you want. Concrete is versatile enough to be poured in whatever configuration you’d like for your outdoor entertainment center.
