Outdoor cooking is a major part of the Florida lifestyle. Outdoor kitchens can range from just a simple grill to a more elaborate kitchen equipped with all the bells and whistles – and of course, custom cabinetry. Regardless of what kind of outdoor kitchen that you have, there is one thing to keep in mind: all building materials in an outdoor kitchen space must be able to stand up to the elements, especially here in Florida!Outdoor kitchen cabinets will take your outdoor cooking space to the next level with added style and function. Outdoor cabinetry, designed specifically for you by C & C’s Cabinet Chic is available in a variety of weatherproof styles that fit your design aesthetic AND your budget!
Outdoor Cabinet Materials
When choosing materials for your outdoor kitchen cabinets, it is important to take into account the weather and climate of your particular region. Most outdoor grills and appliances are stainless steel, and most countertops are stone, but there are a few options available that are made to withstand humidity, rain, sun, and heat.Some popular materials for outdoor cabinets are:
- Reclaimed lumber
- Teak
- Bamboo
- Cypress
When choosing cabinets for your outdoor kitchen, think about the size of your space, budget, and the best material for your climate before you move on to choosing a style.At C & C Cabinets, Our products are fabricated using industry standards and fall within AWI (Architectural Woodworking Institute) guidelines. We offer clients cost-effective custom cabinetry that achieves their design, function, and finish! Contact us today!
Teak & Other Wood Cabinets
Teak has natural attributes that make it more weather-resistant than other woods. Many homeowners love the sophisticated classic look that teak wood provides to an outdoor kitchen. Keep in mind, teak is a more expensive material, and if not properly made can also fade over time.Bamboo is another popular option due to its antimicrobial properties. We’ll make sure the cabinets stay protected under your lanai to limit exposure to sun and rain.Have an idea for an amazing outdoor kitchen space? We are pleased to offer in-home and onsite consultation and offer cabinet design services complete with computerized renderings, so you can see what your space will look like before construction begins!

Polymer Material Cabinets
Another type of cabinet material that you might want to consider is a marine-grade polymer. If you are worried about your cabinets being able to stand up to the elements, then polymer might be the way to go!A polymer is a synthetic material and is often used in outdoor kitchens for its ability to get wet, easy cleanup, and UV resistance. Marine-grade polymers are also stain-resistant and come in a variety of colors which can add a pop of character to your outdoor kitchen design. Cabinets made of a polymer material can also be finished with wood or other materials to fit your design.
