What was once a luxury reserved for warmer climates, outdoor kitchens and bars have become a sought-after feature in UK gardens, and porcelain has become the number one surface choice for these designs, says Gavin Shaw, MD for Laminam UK.
"Porcelain has become the material of choice for outdoor kitchens because of its exceptional durability and versatility," he explained. "It’s not only resistant to the elements, but its non-porous surface makes it incredibly easy to maintain, ensuring that outdoor spaces remain looking pristine year-round. Whether for countertops, tables, or flooring, the combination of beauty, sustainability, and practicality makes porcelain the ideal solution for creating functional yet stylish alfresco living areas."
Laminam says its surfaces are not only lightweight and easy to template, but they also come in a variety of thicknesses ranging from 2mm to 20mm to suit all types of application. Each piece is unique and crafted with sustainability in mind, using natural raw materials and up to 60% recycled content. The installation and disposal process is environmentally friendly, with 100% of the water used in production being recycled back into the process. In addition, the authentic Italian stone aesthetic of Laminam surfaces co-ordinates well with a pizza oven and stone-baked alfresco dining experience.
