An amazing outdoor kitchen creates the ultimate gathering point for friends and family and is perfect for entertaining and cooking up sizzling meals. Outdoor kitchens are also a great way to expand your living space and bring additional function to your backyard.
Choosing the right materials and creating a stunning, durable aesthetic will contribute to a space that dramatically boosts your property value too. Unilock pavers and wall systems are an ideal way to achieve this. Unilock products are crafted to reflect the visual warmth and unique textures of natural stone and brick, but are imbued with the high structural strength and long term durability of concrete. Unilock concrete products are also incredibly versatile, offering solutions for both patio covering, as well as vertical structures such as steps, grill islands, seating walls and pillars. Let’s take a look at some of the top products for your outdoor kitchen design.
Avante Ashlar
Avante Ashlar sports a finely-cut stone appearance that is worked into an “L” shape design for easy installation and a more stable surface. Available in the subtle and varied tones found in natural flagstone, Avante Ashlar is the perfect flagstone substitute that is sturdy enough to be incorporated into residential driveways and areas of high foot traffic. As a outdoor kitchen floor covering, Avante Ashlar offers class, easy cleaning and longlife color with EnduraColor Facemix Technology. Choose the Almond Grove color option for the cool grays, dark charcoals and gentle brown of bluestone, or Shadow Creek for a combination of warm browns and cool undertones.
Copthorne
Copthorne is an amazing paver that is virtually indistinguishable from the brick pavers of old-world European streets and plazas. As an outdoor kitchen paver, Copthorne serves to create a warm, cozy setting and vintage appeal. Choose from color options including a dark charcoal Basalt, Burgundy Red, the warmth of Old Oak and the rustic character of Burnt Clay. Copthorne pavers are designed to be dramatically stronger and more durable than regular brick pavers while maintaining a timeworn and characterful surface.

Umbriano
You can’t be blamed for mistaking this paver for natural granite. The beautiful rugged texture, speckled granite-like surface and natural coloring of Umbriano is owed to the incorporation of randomly dispersed granite particles during the manufacturing process. Umbriano’s textured surface is also non-slip to avoid unfortunate kitchen mishaps. A range of colors offers access to the unique natural variations of granite, including the silver-grey of Winter Marvel, the dark charcoal of Midnight Sky, the warm browns of Autumn Sunset and the cheerful Summer Wheat.
Beacon Hill Flagstone
If you’re looking to dress your outdoor kitchen in the elegance of flagstone, then look no further than Beacon Hill Flagstone from Unilock. Characterized by its soft blend of coloring and subtle surface texture, Beacon Hill Flagstone offers an elegant, natural look for your outdoor kitchen. The Alpine Grey color option is ideal for a relaxed historical feel and neutral palette, Bavarian Blend offers a touch of warmth and homely comfort, while the Sycamore option can be used to give your outdoor kitchen rich, vibrant brown flagstone-style base.
