4 common mistakes to avoid....
1. Galvanized steel studs from Home Depot or Lowe's are designed for interior framing and not made to last outside. Be sure to use exterior grade galvanized steel so it will stand up to the elements. Avoid using materials that may rust through in a few years.
2. Framing an island with wood studs is another common mistake. We have replaced enough islands after they've caught on fire that you should avoid using wood for the structure. Wood also warps over time and can start to "pop" the tile or stone finish material.
3. Galvanized steel studs will not hold up for a cantilevered extension. If you plan to include seating around a bartop, tubular steel is a much better choice.
4. Don't forget to use a paint primer every time you cut, screw, weld or cut the galvanized steel. It restores the integrity of the galvanization and prevents rust from gaining a foothold.
3 ways we build a better island...
1. We weld the galvanized steel studs everywhere the frame touches the cement board. Not only does welding make for a stronger structure, it also keeps the cement board and eventually the finish work look "lumpy" from screw heads.
2. We use only the best materials for a guaranteed long life including: 20 gauge, galvanized 60 steel studs, PermaBase cement board (the only cement board with an outdoor warranty), self taping metal screws.
3. We use tubular steel for all cantilevered bartops that are strong enough to dance on. No sagging bartops here!
