At Gaumats International, we’ve learned that designing a beautiful outdoor space is about more than just looks — it’s about selecting materials that can stand up to the elements while elevating your lifestyle.

Whether you’re planning a backyard retreat, outdoor kitchen, or luxury entertainment area, the right materials lay the foundation for timeless style and lasting resilience.

When it comes to designing a welcoming, hearty, and stylish outdoor entertaining space, what you choose to install makes all the difference. From sunny patios to cozy fire pit zones, your outdoor oasis should be both beautiful and, more importantly, built to last.

Here’s our guide to the best materials for creating an outdoor space that’s ready for every gathering — from casual BBQs to late-night cocktail wingdings.

Durability – For The Win

At Gaumats, natural stone is our signature, and for good reason. It’s not only stunning — it’s strong, weather-resistant, and incredibly versatile.

Our top picks include:

• Granite – Dense and non-porous, granite is ideal for outdoor countertops. It’s resistant to heat, UV rays, and weather changes.
• Quartzite – With the elegant veining of marble and the strength of granite, quartzite is perfect for high-end outdoor surfaces.
• Limestone & Travertine – These stones add natural texture and a warm, earthy tone to walkways and patios.

Chatting About Countertops

Your outdoor kitchen should be just as functional as your indoor one — and it starts with the right products adorning your countertops.

• Granite and Quartzite Countertops – These natural stones not only look luxurious but also hold up to outdoor conditions with minimal upkeep.
• Concrete – For a sleek, modern finish, concrete can be customized with stains and textures.
