When it comes to choosing outdoor cabinets material for your new outdoor kitchen, there’s no better choice than stainless steel. More than just a sleek finish, stainless steel provides a host of other benefits that make it a top choice for outdoor cabinets material. Here are the top benefits of stainless steel outdoor kitchen cabinets.
– Multiple Finish Options
– Supreme Durability
– Easy to Clean and Maintain
– Versatility
– Eco-friendly and Lasting Impact
Multiple Finish Options
In addition to the supreme durability, stainless steel offers numerous aesthetic options to add, including the popular and flexible powder coat finish. Powder coat finishes are applied to cabinet doors eliminating direct exposure of the stainless steel to the environment.
There are hundreds of options when it comes to customizing the look of stainless steel outdoor cabinets, from realistic wood grain powder coat finishes to textured metals to bright colors. In addition, cabinet door styles include frosted glass with a color panel behind as well as textured inserts to add a unique design element to the traditional stainless steel look. Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens also offers exclusive colors to match the Brown Jordan furniture, so your entire outdoor area will look seamless.
Supreme Durability
Since your outdoor kitchen is located in the elements of nature, it’s imperative to choose outdoor kitchen cabinet materials that are durable and able to withstand wear and tear from weather, cooking, everyday use and more. Stainless steel is an ideal choice when it comes to durability of outdoor kitchens. It is more rust resistant than other metal outdoor cabinets and doesn’t warp like wood.
All stainless steels have a high resistance to corrosion – low alloyed grades “resist corrosion in atmospheric conditions; highly alloyed grades can resist corrosion in most acids, alkaline solutions, and chloride bearing environments, even at elevated temperatures and pressures” (ASSDA). So even if you live in a coastal area or a high-humidity climate, stainless steel outdoor kitchen cabinets will stand up to the challenge.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Aside from being a spectacular entertaining space and an excellent addition to any home, another one of the draws on installing an outdoor kitchen is the relatively low required maintenance. Although you will still have to do maintenance cleanings as stainless steel is known to capture fingerprints, you won’t have to spend hours cleaning and wiping down your kitchen after each outdoor cooking session.

It is recommended to use a stainless steel cleaner on your cabinets to ensure optimal shine and protection. Wiping down cabinets also helps to slow the corrosion process, especially if you live on the coast. Powder coat finishes add additional protection and further reduce maintenance. However, we recommend using a simple 1:1 filtered water and mild soap solution to clean and maintain powder coat finishes.
Furthermore, stainless steel is not only relatively low maintenance but it also keeps the germs at bay. This is part of the reason it’s the top choice in hospitals, kitchens, food and pharmaceutical processing facilities, and more. This is because stainless steel is “non-porous,” which means it resists lingering germs and bacteria better than wood or plastic surfaces.

Versatility
If you decide later that you want to change the look of your outdoor living area, simples choose a different door style and/or finish. Whether you are transitioning to a beachy look or more modern look for your outdoor living space, your stainless steel outdoor kitchen cabinets will be the perfect complement. Because of the traditional yet modern look of stainless steel, it is an adaptable material to accompany any design changes you want to make as your outdoor living space evolves.
Stainless steel cabinets also make finding the right appliance or accessory easy, as most options are available with a stainless steel finish. Outdoor bar amenities such as ice drawers and sinks look great in stainless steel. A large stainless warming drawer is perfect for warming other foods while you grill. Stainless steel utensils, serving ware, stools, faucets, and other fixtures will complete the sleek look.
Eco-friendly and Lasting Impact.
Stainless steel is not just a durable and easy to clean with copious outdoor kitchen design options, it is also an environmentally-friendly choice. Stainless steel is entirely recyclable, and with its extreme strength, you won’t have to be redoing or replacing your cabinets often to keep them looking pristine.
This is good for your finances, and also good for the environment. Plus, the limited cleaning upkeep means less use of cleaning supplies, like potentially dangerous chemicals and paper towels, which has a sizeable environmental impact as well.
No matter which finish or design you choose for your stainless steel outdoor kitchen cabinets, you will end up with a classic look that will last you for years and years to come, and you can feel good about making a choice that’s good for the world around you, as well as your own wallet.
