SurinBeach Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi Gents, I'm think of putting an outdoor kitchen in my Sala, it'll be pretty sheltered (the Sala is 6m x 8M) and has/will have Palms behind the kitchen side. Couple of questions : Should I go 304 or 316 Stainless, How much more expensive is a sheet of 304 vs 316. Just FYI I live in Cherntalay Phuket about 5 miles to the sea....

Crossy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Ours is concrete and tile same as the indoor one :) The DIY places also do ready-built worktops, sink units etc. etc. with stainless tops, may be worth looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipi Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Yes concrete and tile was our choice, with prefab stainless sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatawonderfulday Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 S/S 304 is standard grade for hotel and catering establishments in Thailand. I have all S/S kitchen units in our kitchen to ensure hygiene and longevity. If I was putting it in an external location then I would ensure that that door seals were adequate to ensure no ingress of moisture or insects. They were all custom made by a specialist catering equipment manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I bought one of those cheap alloy (imitation ss ) sink units for our only outdoor kitchen at the time. three and half years later its not got one sign of rust or deterioration on it. i used to give it a thorough toothbrush clean and polish every couple or three months. The only time I encountered rust, was when i left a screw in the bowl. In other words even the cheap ones are perfectly adequate. There are alrenatives to stainless of course; GRP, Corian and good old concrete and connie and tiles will be my next outside kitchen plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luudee Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 If you take care of the s/s, the cheaper one will be fine ... Clean it with some wd40 once a week, and it will last ... rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
