"but the durability and ease of caesarstone"

Not for constant exterior sun exposure. That quartz will be toast in a year. Quartz is not designed for exterior exposure like that, UV will destroy it. Even the stone yards are told to keep their stock indoors or at the very least well covered.

Ah got it thank you!

The bluestone is prettier.

A Granite could be used in an outdoor application. Bluestone always looks nice, but harder to wipe up and clean oil or food spills. Would need to have sealed.
Love the stone veneer!

A dark gray, less porous natural granite, would be the better choice here. Like a leathered Steel Gray.

As I know Granite and Soapstone are the best materials to use for outdoor countertops, beside Porcelain slabs ( Dekton- Neolith…). Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I like blue stone .
