Sinks & Taps
Enhancing Functionality in Your Alfresco Kitchen
The right outdoor kitchen sinks and taps make your alfresco space far more practical and enjoyable to use. Having running water outdoors allows for easy food preparation, quick clean-up and greater convenience when entertaining.
We design our outdoor kitchens to incorporate premium sink and tap solutions, with a focus on trusted brands such as Innova, known for durable construction and modern finishes.
What Type of Sink Is Best for an Outdoor Kitchen?
The best sink for an outdoor kitchen is made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as stainless steel. Outdoor sinks need to handle moisture, regular use and exposure to the elements.
Choosing the right size and configuration ensures it works seamlessly within your cabinetry layout.
Undermount vs Top mount Sinks
Undermount sinks create a sleek, seamless look and make it easier to wipe water straight into the bowl.
Top mount sinks are practical, durable and well suited to a variety of benchtop materials.
The right option depends on your overall outdoor kitchen design.
Is a Sink Necessary in an Outdoor Kitchen?
While not essential for every setup, a sink significantly improves functionality. It allows for easier prep, washing and clean-up, making your outdoor kitchen feel more complete and self-sufficient.
Sink Lids for Outdoor Kitchens
A sink lid is a removable cover (usually the same material as the benchtops) that sits flush over your outdoor kitchen sink when it’s not in use. It creates additional bench space while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance. Sink lids are a practical addition to alfresco kitchens, particularly where maximising usable surface area is important.
Benefits of adding a sink lid include:
- Increased preparation and serving space
- Protection for the sink when not in use
- Improved overall functionality and presentation
