Advice on outdoor kitchen cabinetry/materials
Page 1 of 1
I am currently trying to decide on the type of material for our outdoor kitchen cabinets.
I was going to use the same profile doors that I am using in my kitchen and other cabinetry in my house so that it is all one style, however this is polyurethane and the kitchen company is advising against it.
They suggest we use a compact laminate available through Polytec:

However it's only available as a plain face, looks quite modern, there are limited colours and just won't fit in with the style of the build.
I suppose my question is, has anyone got an outdoor kitchen with polyurethane cabinetry and have you had any problems?
Thanks.
We do have those few days in summer that reach 40+ and in winter can experience frost in the mornings. Not sure how/if this would affect poly cabinets.
The 2 pac paint itself is fine as it's the same as car paint, so it's the board it's sprayed onto that is the bigger issue.
If your cabinet maker is concerned get them to machine the doors out of the following material and then get them sprayed. I'd also build the carcass out of the same material. It's just the next step up from standard HMR board.

I ended up sticking with the poly. I really didn’t want to compromise on the design!
