Quality Materials for a Lasting Outdoor Kitchen

An outdoor kitchen is the ultimate luxury for a home in Melbourne. However, the coastal air and sun can be harsh on building materials. Choosing high-end, low-maintenance finishes is the best way to ensure your investment stays beautiful for years. At Right Way, we focus on materials like marine-grade cabinetry and natural stone that offer a sophisticated look without the need for constant scrubbing or repairs.


Selecting the Perfect Countertop Surface

Granite is the top choice for luxury countertops in Palm Bay because it is incredibly dense and heat-resistant. Unlike synthetic materials, natural granite does not fade in the sun or melt under a hot pot. It provides a non-porous surface that resists stains from food and drinks, making it very easy to clean after a weekend gathering. A simple wipe-down is often all that is needed to keep your kitchen looking brand new.


Durable Flooring with Premium Pavers

The foundation of your kitchen should be as strong as the appliances. Using high-quality pavers for your kitchen floor provides a durable and slip-resistant surface. These materials handle the weight of heavy islands and resist staining from grease or spills. Whether you choose sleek porcelain or classic stone, a paver base ensures your outdoor cooking area is stable and stylish, providing a seamless look that ties into the rest of your patio.

Marine-Grade Cabinetry for Coastal Living

Standard indoor cabinets will quickly fail in our humid climate. For a truly low-maintenance kitchen in Vero Beach, we recommend stainless steel or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) cabinetry. These materials are waterproof and will not rot, warp, or rust. They are designed to withstand the salt air and heavy rains, ensuring your storage space remains functional and clean throughout the year with minimal effort.


Integrated Protection with Screen Enclosures

One of the best ways to reduce maintenance for your outdoor kitchen is to place it within a screen enclosure. This protects your appliances and countertops from falling leaves, dirt, and bird droppings. By keeping the area cleaner, you spend less time on upkeep and more time entertaining. Our enclosures are engineered to handle high winds while maintaining a clear view of your backyard and pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does granite need to be sealed in an outdoor kitchen?

    Yes, we recommend sealing outdoor granite once a year. This simple process prevents oil and food from soaking into the stone and helps maintain its vibrant color and shine against the Florida sun.

  • Can I use wood cabinets in my outdoor kitchen?

    While wood is beautiful, it requires significant maintenance to prevent rot and insect damage in Florida. We highly recommend using stone veneers or marine-grade materials that provide the look of wood with much higher durability.

  • What is the best way to clean my outdoor appliances?

    Most stainless steel appliances can be cleaned with a specialized stainless steel cleaner or simple soap and water. Regular cleaning prevents salt buildup and keeps your kitchen looking sharp and professional.
