Outdoor Kitchens designed, built and installed for Oakville — heritage detailing in the old town and whole-house packages on the lake. Our Toronto showroom is around forty minutes east.
An Ontario outdoor kitchen has to come through a freeze, and that is the whole design problem. Any water sitting in a cabinet, a drawer or a fixing point when it freezes will split the assembly, so drainage, sealing and material choice do the work here that corrosion resistance does in Florida. Marine-grade aluminium takes the freeze-thaw cycle without failing at the fasteners, and the season shortens enough that the run should be planned to be closed down and reopened easily.
Old Oakville has heritage properties with real constraints and real character. Interior cabinetry is generally unrestricted, but the detailing has to earn its place in a house with original trim and proportions worth keeping.
Lakeside houses in Morrison and Eastlake are large and often rebuilt rather than renovated, which means the cabinetry package covers the whole house rather than one room.
Lake-effect humidity through the shoulder seasons is worth accounting for in solid timber and in anything closed and unventilated.
What follows applies to every outdoor kitchen we make, in Oakville and everywhere else.
Outdoor cabinetry is a materials problem before it is a design one. Sun, rain, humidity and — near any coast — salt will destroy an indoor cabinet finished for an indoor life. We build outdoor kitchens in marine-grade aluminium with 304 stainless hardware, sealed doors and drawers, and integrated drainage, because that is what survives.
Door slides, hinges, pulls and levelling legs are all outdoor grade, because the hardware fails long before the box does.
Doors and drawers are sealed with integrated drainage, so water that gets in has somewhere to go.
Twice as thick as most stainless cabinetry on the market and lighter, which also makes it easier to deliver and install.

We work throughout Oakville, including Old Oakville, Morrison, Eastlake, Bronte and Glen Abbey. The housing here is heritage houses in the old town, large lakeside properties in Morrison and Eastlake, and established family housing inland, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Toronto showroom is around forty minutes east. The showroom is at 2967 Dundas Street West. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
