But quickly, there are a few reasons why you should be leaning towards using granite for your barbeque pit, including:

Durability
In Ottawa’s harsh outdoor conditions, inferior countertops will deteriorate rapidly. If you skimp on the materials for your countertops you’ll find yourself paying to replace them sooner than you’d like.

Granite is your best choice best choice not just for the look, feel, and luxury – but because it is nature’s most durable surface.  Additionally, they are easy to maintain and keep looking great.

The Look
You spend a good deal of time picking just the right look for your Ottawa countertops. The challenge with materials that are not granite is a propensity to discolor over time.

Concrete countertops are colored using dyes, making them prone to discolor and turn yellow. The same with Quartz – not the dye part but rather the tendency to turn yellow.  Exposure to the elements will cause the top coat coloring resin on quartz countertops to discolor.
