Finish & Countertop Options
Browse our options to create the finishing touches of your RTA outdoor kitchen.

We take great pride in our island finishes and countertops. Most prefab outdoor kitchens you’ll encounter come with a low cost stucco or cheap manufactured stone veneer. At RTA, we take a much different approach.

Our Island Finishes
Every RTA outdoor kitchen is handmade. So we’ve collaborated with exterior designers and master craftsmen to create a standard profile for our finishes. This provides consistency while retaining that handmade touch. Our standard offerings include finishes in Stone, Wood, Brick, Plank, and Modern Concrete. These finishes also come in different colors for added variety as well.
Cottage X By Tamara day
Former HGTV host and current host of Magnolia Network’s Bargain Mansions, Tamara Day is no stranger to tasteful home design. After partnering with RTA in 2021 for her personal outdoor kitchen… We put our heads together and created a one-of-a-kind design just for you. This finish is limited to 7′ Quick Ship Designs and is only available in a limited quantity.
Concrete Tops
To “top” it all off… Our standard finishes come with a 1.25″ chiseled edge concrete countertop. Our concrete countertops are manufactured with an Engineered Concrete Composite. This is not your average concrete. It’s 3-4x stronger than standard concrete and designed to withstand all environments. Even better, our countertops are internally reinforced with composite rebar. With all of this strength and reinforcement… You may think our countertops weigh a ton. Not so. These countertops are relatively lightweight! In fact, it’s a breeze for 2-3 people to handle and install. RTA chiseled edge countertops are factory sealed with a water based, food safe sealer.
Pros
- Internally reinforced and durable
- Matches a rustic aesthetic
- Comfortable to use under the brilliant sun
- Resilient to climates with freeze/thaw cycles
CONS
- Porous material susceptible to staining and scratching
- Requires periodic maintenance
- Micro cracks appear as a natural part of the curing process (not harmful to the structure)
- Does not appeal to everyone's style
Granite Tops
RTA also offers granite countertop options for customers. We work with granite distributors and fabricators to provide several 3cm granite options. Note that these are special order items. Expect to add 2- weeks onto the standard delivery of your outdoor kitchen. Heavier than concrete, granite countertops require three to four people for proper handling and installation. Our granite countertops come sealed and with a leathered finish. Granite is natural, every piece is unique, and will vary from these images. Learn more here.
Pros
- Dense material resistant to scratches and stains
- Sleek, modern look
- Durable in all climates, including freeze/thaw
- Requires less maintenance than concrete
CONS
- Heavy and difficult to maneuver
- Gets extremely hot in the sun, especially darker shades
- Cannot be internally reinforced, there is a chance it will crack
- May not fit your aesthetic
