Aluminum versus Stainless Steel Outdoor Kitchens
The ideal material for outdoor kitchen cabinetry will last a long time outdoors with limited maintenance. Aluminum and stainless steel are two popular metals in outdoor kitchen design. At Trex® Outdoor Kitchens, our 100% 304 and 316 grade stainless steel cabinetry is the most durable product on the market.
Aluminum vs. Stainless Steel for Outdoor Kitchens
Stainless steel is the best choice for outdoor kitchens because it is stronger and denser than aluminum, withstanding temperate fluctuations and weather extremes without cracking or warping.
Unlike aluminum, stainless steel cabinetry boxes will maintain their structural integrity. Aluminum is soft and lightweight, so it is more likely to dent and warp. These properties will negatively affect the weather resistance and the function of the cabinetry – meaning a greater likelihood and frequency of replacement and upkeep.<
