Impacting the environment continues to be a main concern for many consumers when transforming their outdoor living spaces. Some of the concerns include greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, and renewable energy options.
As a result, they are approaching their outdoor remodels using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. These materials are durable, recyclable, and have low environmental impact.
Your outdoor kitchen cabinet material is the most important consideration for an eco-friendly project. Common cabinetry materials include wood, high density polyethylene, aluminum, and stainless steel. Each material has its pros and cons for outdoor durability and their effect on natural resources.
Stainless steel is the best material for outdoor kitchens, as it is durable and environmentally friendly. Adding a powder coat finish reduces maintenance of your kitchen, which increases beauty, investment value, and peace of mind. Danver Stainless Outdoor Kitchens produces high quality powder coated stainless steel outdoor kitchens with low environmental impact.

Stainless steel is often overlooked as eco-friendly. It has a variety of attractive traits that make it appealing. These traits include being 100% recyclable, resistance to corrosion and fire, minimal emissions, low maintenance, and a long life. Since stainless steel is resistant to high temperatures, it will maintain its structure under all types of environments.
You should clean bare stainless steel regularly to extend its life, especially outdoors. A good practice is to keep stainless steel dry and free of debris. Avoid acids and abrasive tools like wire brushes or scrapers. To prevent scratches and swirling, always work in the direction of the grain using a stainless steel cleaner.
Powder Coat Finishes
Applying a powder coat finish involves using electrostatic charges while depositing dry powder onto a surface. You then heat the material to cure the finish. This process is more durable than conventional paint and will not run, sag, or have an inconsistent appearance.
Choosing a powder coat finish can be an environmentally friendly choice. Powder coats offer a variety of benefits, both to the environment and the aesthetics of your space. Some benefits include UV resistance, reduced maintenance, and formulas with no harmful compounds or pollutants.
One of the major benefits to a powder coat finish is the expansive offerings available. You can choose finishes that are bright, neutral, textured, metallic, and more.
