Outdoor Kitchen Design & Construction Services – The Southwest Florida Climate

The Climate of Southwest Florida - How it Affects Your Outdoor Kitchen Construction Project

The aesthetic appeal of your outdoor kitchen area is just as important as the overall functionality. In this article, we’ll cover some of the relevant topics you’ll come across in an outdoor living design & construction project.

Climate Considerations

The first thing you’ll want to consider is the climate. Believe it not; this is one crucial factor that we address in all of our outdoor kitchen projects. Elegant Outdoor Kitchens uses only the highest quality of structural and finishing materials. We use products and materials that are safe and designed to work well with the Southwest Florida climate. The materials we use significantly impact the life and longevity of your outdoor barbecue island. Our outdoor living design specialists are here to guide through the design phase; we’ll ensure your choice of materials is adequate for our Florida climate.

Please realize that now that not all construction materials are created equal. Before committing to a purchase of a particular construction material, do your homework. We recommend that you speak with one of our outdoor living design specialists, they’ll save you both time and eliminate any frustrations. Our team of designers is here to help you avoid costly mistakes.

Southwest Florida Climate

Average lows range from 65 °F (18 °C) in Key West to near 41 °F (5 °C) degrees Fahrenheit at Tallahassee, while daytime highs range from 64 °F (18 °C) at Tallahassee to 77 °F (25 °C) at Miami. Predominant tropical easterly winds across central and Southern Florida keep temperatures warm during the winter. Mild winters tend to be ideal for most outdoor kitchen products & materials used in its construction. Summers throughout the state are long, hot, and relatively humid. All in all, there aren’t too many limits when choosing materials for your barbecue island. The only factors that seem to be disadvantageous are the hurricanes and the humidity. A good rule of thumb for the Florida climate, choose finishing materials that have structural integrity and are not affected by prolonged exposure to moisture.

Hurricanes, Hurricanes, and More Hurricanes

Florida has seen and will continue to see its share of storms. This particular topic addresses the fact that your outdoor kitchen & living area must be able to withstand the wrath and onslaught of mother nature. Elegant Outdoor Kitchens has you covered when it comes to structural integrity and construction that will hold up to even the worst of storms. Our secure and durable construction is second to none. Our outdoor kitchen products are hurricane tested and approved. Give us a call today to schedule an on-site design consultation. Our professionals are here to help!

One of the most popular areas of the home that is frequently upgraded by homeowners is the backyard or outdoor living area. On average, most can fetch a return on investment (ROI) of as much as 70–80%. I don’t know about you about you, but I like those odds. The outdoor kitchen upgrade and build serve a dualistic purpose to the homeowner. First, it can serve as a place where you’re able to entertain both family and friends, creating moments that truly make a home, a home. Second, and one of the most exciting aspects to the financially savvy homeowner is the return on investment or ROI.

MSN real estate experts suggest that building an outdoor kitchen can get you about the same if not more return on investment when reselling your home. Other experts suggest you can get more for your money; Zing adds that CNN Money suggested that some outdoor kitchens can fetch a 100–200% ROI. Further, it’s also an excellent way to add buyer appeal to your home investment.

Winter Season Maintenance Tips for Outdoor Kitchen Granite Countertops

Posted on October 5, 2017 by - Outdoor Kitchen Construction Information, Outdoor Kitchen Countertops, Outdoor Kitchen Maintenance

Close-up of Saturnia Granite & California Gold Stacked Stone

With the winter season approaching, keeping your outdoor kitchen and living areas clean can seem like a daunting task.
Sure, during this time we tend to be a bit more relaxed with the amount of cleaning and maintenance we perform. If you’re reading this article, the chances are that you own an outdoor kitchen area that you would like to maintain during Winter season. We’ve included some maintenance tips you could use that will ensure that your countertops don’t damaged or deteriorate during the winter season.
That’s why we’ve compiled a few helpful tips on how to keep your granite countertops in good shape during this time:

Sealing Granite Countertops

Obviously, one of the crucial steps to maintaining your outdoor granite countertops during the winter is to seal them.
Keeping your countertops in good condition largely depends on sealants. Especially if your countertop is exposed to snowfall, sealing your countertops on a more regular basis is of the utmost importance. Increased exposure to moisture will wear out the existing layer of sealant, and we all know that moisture can be detrimental to your countertops. Whether your countertops are granite, marble or quartzite – moisture will adversely affect them. So be sure to seal them regularly!

Watch Out For Freezing and Thawing (Even in Areas that Don’t Receive Snow)

Another aspect to be on the lookout for is the cycle of freezing and thawing. It’s important to watch out for this because the cycling of freezing and then thawing can certainly lead to cracks in your countertops.
While there’s not a lot you can do to prevent this, we recommend – as we stated above – that you seal your countertops more regularly. Plus, if your countertops are exposed to snowfall you can brush away the snow to further prevent any stains or cracks.

What about Sinks on Your Countertops?

This section depends on if your outdoor living area has a sink and is also based on your overall Winter intensity. Be sure that you close off the water valves and be sure that those lines are drained. You can even remove your faucets and store them indoors.
