Color of the cement counter top - Hello, Can you tell me the exact color and manufacturer of the cement counter top? »

debora carl landscape design The counter top is actually honed black granite slab with a 3" square edge. The honing gives the granite a matte finish, better for exterior applications where dust can be an issue with glossy surfaces.

debora carl landscape design This is custom designed and built. The finish is smooth stucco and smooth concrete counter top. You can purchase the grill, drawers, doors, etc from many suppliers, such as Viking, Firemagic, and Lynx.

I am considering a honed black granite for my kitchen. I have received varying professional opinions re the possibilities of staining. Any insight on your experience with honed granite in you outdoor cook space? »

COASTROAD Hearth & Patio Honed granite tends to show grease spots more readily than polished stone does, but any well sealed stone should clean up easily. Flamed granite is also a nice option if you prefer to stay away from a polished look, and I particularly like how soapstone looks.

This is a soapstone top, which is practically impervious to anything, but you'll need to re-treat it occasionally:

Beautiful counter and BBQ area. Can you tell me how thick the counter top is? Thanks, Heidi »

vermeer_day With counters they do a nice little trick on the edge by joining two pieces together (the side and the top) with a 45 degree angle and the result looks like an extra thick counter depth. This was you can choose any depth you want for that nice weighty look.

Hi Debora - Great Job btw! What is that white rectangle under sink? Also, do you know of any contained sink systems (no need for hook-up)? »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
An elegant L-shaped barbecue counter creates plenty of room for prepping, grilling and bartending.
added by houzz to Honed
Color enhancers or stains can be added to a honed stone, which will make the surface appear wet but not shiny, and will help hide glassware rings and food stains.Browse photos of honed countertops and other surfaces
