Why Choose Natural or Engineered Stone for Outdoor Use?
When you choose stone for outdoor areas, you’re investing in durability, aesthetics and longevity.
To choose the perfect stone for outdoor spaces, here are some elements to consider.
Texture
If you have benchtops around an outdoor dining area or an open-living space, consider opting for a textured natural stone. It looks attractive and improves the look of your outdoor area over time.
Customisation
If you want your outdoor area to look exceptional, you can customise the natural stone material for the benchtops. A customised natural stone benchtop with solid stone blocks is fast becoming a trend that has come to stay.
Colour
Natural stones are available in different shades, colours and tones, so ensure you get one for your outdoor benchtop that matches the outdoor design. You have options such as antique, dull, bright and rich colours to enhance your outdoor aesthetics.
Functionality
Natural stone benchtops can suit different property types, from the more traditional to state-of-the-art houses. However, it is best to choose a natural stone material that suits the purpose of the benchtop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What stone is best for outdoor benchtops?
For outdoor use, porcelain stone is the most durable and weather-resistant option. They handle UV exposure, rain, and heat exceptionally well. Our team at Stone Benchtops Direct can help you choose the best material to match your climate, design, and lifestyle.
Can natural stone be used for outdoor kitchens?
Yes. Natural stones such as marble and travertine create stunning and long-lasting outdoor kitchen benchtops. We recommend proper sealing and installation to protect the surface from stains, moisture, and temperature changes.
Do outdoor stone benchtops need sealing?
Most natural stones should be sealed to prevent staining and water absorption. Engineered and porcelain stones are generally more resistant, but sealing can further enhance their longevity. We include sealing recommendations and care instructions with every installation.
How long does installation take?
Every project is different, depending on the design and material. We’ll provide an estimated timeframe at the quote stage so you’ll know exactly when your new outdoor stone surfaces will be ready for use.
What areas do you service for outdoor installations?
We provide outdoor stone benchtop fabrication and installation across Sydney, Melbourne, and surrounding regions, including the Central Coast, Wollongong, and the Mornington Peninsula.
How do I maintain outdoor stone surfaces?
Regular cleaning with mild detergent and resealing as recommended will keep your outdoor benchtops looking their best. Avoid harsh chemicals and pressure washers. Our team provides a care guide with every project to help you protect your investment year-round.
