Look beneath the surface

Two kitchens can look alike. What’s underneath is what matters.

The important difference is the construction method—not whether the outside is finished with stone or another surface.

Typical metal-frame construction

  • − Metal exposed to outdoor conditionsMoisture and damaged protective coatings can leave metal framing vulnerable to corrosion.
  • − Cement board moves with heat and moistureCement board attached to metal framing responds to temperature and moisture changes. The cement board, metal frame and finish layers respond differently to changing conditions.
  • − Movement stresses connectionsRepeated expansion and contraction puts stress on fasteners, seams, joints, adhesives and finishes.
  • − Finishes can be affectedMoisture entering gaps and repeated movement can contribute to moisture intrusion, popped tiles, cracked stucco and other finish damage.
  • − Things can get out of alignmentMovement can throw openings out of alignment, making doors and drawers harder to open or close.

Bomb Shelter Outdoor Kitchen System

  • ✓ Pre-engineered concrete panel systemThe concrete panels form the structure instead of cement board attached to a separate metal frame.
  • ✓ Concrete does not rust or rotThe concrete structure avoids the rust and rot concerns associated with those materials.
  • ✓ A different structural approachThe system reduces reliance on a conventional assembly of metal framing, cement board and multiple finish layers.
  • ✓ Designed for outdoor exposureBuilt around outdoor use in Florida’s heat, humidity and changing weather.
  • ✓ Your choice of finishCustom concrete countertops with stone veneer or smooth finished panels. The finish is a design choice; the construction method is the key difference.

HDPE resin outdoor cabinetry

  • − Plastic-like cabinet appearanceResin doors and drawer fronts can look more like plastic cabinetry than a custom-built concrete outdoor kitchen.
  • − Indoor-style storage does not mean indoor protectionGaps around ordinary doors and drawers can allow dust, pollen, dirt and insects into storage compartments.
  • − Plates and utensils are not ready to useWhen stored in these exposed compartments, plates, glasses and eating utensils must be brought inside and cleaned before use.
  • − More doors and drawers do not solve the problemCabinet-style storage can look convenient without providing the clean, ready-to-use storage people expect from an indoor kitchen.
