Outdoor kitchens and barbecues in Calvià
In Calvià the typical job is not the indoor kitchen but the outdoor one. Terraces and covered porches where people cook from May to October, and where the installation has to survive sun, salt air and heavy use packed into a few months. The photograph shows the sort of build we do: a stainless gas barbecue set into the surface, a smoker beside it, and a continuous pale worktop wrapping around and absorbing every cut-out. The cut-outs are the point — each appliance has its exact opening and the surface is fabricated around it, rather than trimming a standard slab and filling the gap with silicone.
An outdoor kitchen done properly
- Exact cut-outs for built-in barbecue, smoker, hob or sink.
- A continuous worktop wrapping the appliances with no silicone bead around them.
- Fronts and side panels in the same weather-resistant material.
- Rounded edges in circulation areas, safer on a terrace used by children.
- Storage modules and stainless drawers integrated below the surface.
The enemy of a coastal outdoor kitchen is not use, it is the environment. Salt and damp attack joints and trims, and within two or three summers dark stains appear around the sink and under the grill. With no joint, that point of failure simply is not there.
Not every reference of the material suits outdoor use. Some finishes are formulated to hold their colour under ultraviolet light and others are made for interiors only. It is one of the things worth settling during the survey, because the wrong colour shows by the second summer.
Calvià, Santa Ponça and the south-west coast
We cover the whole municipality: Calvià, Santa Ponça, Palmanova, Portals, Son Ferrer and Peguera. On terrace projects we coordinate with whoever supplies the barbecue so we have the real appliance dimensions before fabricating.
FAQ about Outdoor Solid Surface in Calvià
- Will it survive full sun all summer?
- With the right exterior-grade reference, yes. Choosing it at the outset matters: interior finishes can lose tone under continuous exposure.
- Can a gas barbecue be built into the worktop?
- Yes. We need the exact dimensions of the model and must respect the heat clearances specified by its manufacturer.
- What if oil or red wine is left on it overnight?
- It is non-porous, so the stain is not absorbed. Neutral soap removes it, and a soft pad deals with stubborn marks without harming the finish.
- Can an outdoor worktop be made in a dark colour?
- It can, but dark tones get considerably hotter in direct sun. We usually suggest pale finishes wherever people rest their hands.
