In a kitchen setting, heat and food spillage can damage cabinetry materials. Outdoor kitchen cabinets are especially prone to degradation because of moisture, extreme climates, heat, and humidity.
Cabinets for the outdoors are available in common materials like wood, plastic, brick/concrete, and metal. Many of these materials will require repair or replacement to maintain the function and appearance of the cabinetry.
On average, wood, plastic, and concrete last only a few years outdoors. Moisture, heat, staining, and the sun will negatively impact them over time. Choosing materials that will hold up in the environment is the best way to protect this investment.
If you are interested in remodeling your existing outdoor kitchen setup, you will want to choose durable materials. You can also use this opportunity to change the features, layout, and appliances in your new project.
At Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens, we manufacture semi-custom, 100% 304 and 316 grade stainless steel cabinetry that we engineer for all climates. Stainless steel is the most durable material for outdoor kitchen cabinets. In this article, we discuss the main reasons for choosing stainless steel for your remodel.
Unmatched Durability
Many options are available for outdoor kitchen cabinets, suitable for budgets and project specs across the board. The cabinetry material is the most important decision for the longevity of the kitchen.
Masonry structures or plastic cabinetry can be appealing options, especially for budget-conscious consumers. However, these cabinetry materials are the main factor for needing an outdoor kitchen remodel.
Over time, wood will warp and split when exposed to cycles of moisture and drying. Heat can weaken plastic, and the sun can fade it. Concrete will eventually crack and stain from liquids.
Although aluminum can be an attractive option, it does not match stainless steel for durability. For example, aluminum is soft and lightweight, and it has a lower melting point than other metals. These qualities leave aluminum cabinets prone to damage like denting and weakening of the structure.
Unlike wood, plastic, aluminum, and concrete, stainless steel is a luxurious material for outdoor cabinets. Stainless steel has superior properties that make it a wise choice for a long-term outdoor kitchen investment. These qualities are non-porosity, structural integrity, corrosion and fire resistance, and no warping, cracking, or fading. In fact, stainless steel cabinets can last a lifetime with regular and simple maintenance.
Seemingly Endless Solutions
Using semi-custom stainless steel cabinets for your remodel gives you freedom in design. You can choose from a variety of layouts, sizes, and appliances. You can also use your remodel to change the configuration and the placement and models of your appliances.
Whether your project calls for a backyard sanctuary or a sprawling multi-family amenity space, Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens has solutions that are unrivaled in the industry. Our stainless steel cabinetry is available in dozens of styles and hundreds of sizes in 3” increments.

Stylish Doors and Beautiful Colors

Apart from materials and solutions, the most attractive options for cabinets include colors and door styles. For your remodel, you will want finishes and styles that will maintain their appearance in harsh climates.
Conventional paints and wood stains that are exposed to the outdoors will require regular reapplication. An extensive palette of colors that will not fade or require a lot of maintenance is ideal for an outdoor kitchen.
Our award-winning collection of powder coat finishes includes about 50 UV rated options, with brights, neutrals, textures, and wood grain looks. Requiring only regular cleaning with mild soap and water, our powder coat finishes add a vibrant hue that will not fade or need refinishing.
