What’s the Difference Between an Alfresco Sink and an Indoor Kitchen Sink?

An alfresco sink is intended for an outdoor kitchen or barbecue area. Our outdoor sink range at Buildmat includes alfresco sinks made from 316 stainless steel, alongside outdoor mixers and other outdoor hardware like shower tapware. 

An indoor kitchen sink is designed for an internal kitchen environment. It may have a different material, finish, mounting style, or care requirement. Some indoor sinks can be used outdoors, but this depends on the area you live in. Typically, we wouldn't move an indoor sink into an outdoor kitchen unless its individual product specification says it is suitable for outdoor use.

The sink size and configuration can also be different. An alfresco kitchen often needs room for BBQ trays and platters, while an indoor kitchen may need to suit a dishwasher, more bench space, or a different cabinetry layout.
