Concrete Trends to Compliment Your Polished Concrete Floors – BBQ Areas

Australians spend a lot of time outside, with some going to great lengths to create beautiful BBQ areas for summer family time or entertaining friends.

Creating an exceptional outdoor space can include options such as a landscaped garden, patio, or swimming pool. Enhancing BBQ areas with polished concrete elements is another option to consider for making the most of all the time spent outside.

Polished concrete is a great option for upgrading your BBQ area. It offers durability, weather resistance and a sleek look. The surface has always been favoured for its style, versatility, easy maintenance and robust qualities.

Design Versatility

Polished concrete has long been appreciated for its ability to complement any home. Whether you’re after a contemporary, rustic, classic or industrial look, polished concrete just works.

This first outdoor kitchen incorporates concrete in the entire space. The benchtop, cooktop, pizza oven, wall and cupboards are polished concrete. In this instance, it offers a cohesive rustic look.

The second BBQ area again utilises concrete for every part of the space. This time, instead of wooden cabinet doors, steel is the name of the game, although any metal will look fantastic with polished concrete.

The third outdoor cooking space stops short at the walls, with the owners opting for natural thin stone veneer for the wall. Mimicking natural stone with veneers is ideal for outdoor settings because like polished concrete, it’s a highly durable and weather resistant material.

Safe and Durable

Honed concrete is safe for outdoors as it improves traction. It’s a durable material that can withstand the outdoor elements like sun, rain and other weather conditions. It holds up to heavy use, which is exactly what you want your outdoor space to do.

Compared to other materials, concrete is also easy to clean as it doesn’t stain easily. You don’t need harsh cleaners, just some sweeping, and you’ll simply require a reseal every few years to maintain the shine.
