An outdoor kitchen is a great investment.
It is also a space that we do not change every year from A to Z. So, when you build your project, it is better that you look at all the possible options and think about your needs in the long term.
One way to ensure you have an outdoor kitchen that suits your taste is to have one custom made. And at BBQ Québec, we can make sure your wishes come true.
Indeed, we work with suppliers who manufacture custom outdoor kitchen modules.
Why choose a custom outdoor kitchen?
Simply because you can choose every detail that composes it and make it unique. Do you want the cabinets and doors of your counters to be a specific color? Choose the type of handle to install on each drawer? That the dimension of your modules "fit" perfectly in your space (in terms of dimensions, you have much more flexibility with custom modules than pre-assembled ones)? A custom outdoor kitchen allows you to "customize" all these options, and more.
It's not complicated, a custom outdoor kitchen gives you the flexibility you want in terms of the colors and materials to use and the atmosphere you want to give to your space.
Depending on the company you choose for your modules, it is possible that your advisor can also present you with a plan of what your kitchen will look like, directly during your meeting, and make adjustments, if necessary, "live", with you. Indeed, we have access to a plan creation software in which all the modules can be selected and positioned in a location x.
What about accessories?
A wide selection of accessories is available to you with a custom kitchen. Moreover, not only do you have access to a wide range of products, but you also have access to a wide variety of options within the same type of product. For example, you can choose between several models of sinks and trash bins; or choose whether you want your ice bin on top or under the counter; or choose the color of your herb bin.
The options are nearly endless when it comes to accessories, their looks and their placements.
Accessories are also important to consider, because they play a big role in limiting the coming and going between your BBQ and your house.
What does it look like in terms of price?
It is true that a custom-made product is more expensive than a non-custom-made product. However, this does not mean that nothing is affordable.
For example, a dekton countertop costs more than a granite or natural stone countertop, but, on the other hand, the color of the latter is not the same from one slab to another (and sometimes even uniform on the same piece). The price of the dekton countertop changes depending on the grade and color selected. There are therefore different ways to lower the price of a custom outdoor kitchen.
Is the wait longer?
The manufacturing and installation time depends on several factors. You have to take into account the quantity of modules to be designed, the materials chosen, the availability of barbecue heads, etc. Obviously, the more requests there are, the longer the wait is likely to be (which is why we always advise you to plan ahead to start your magnificent project).
What we can say, however, is that yes, custom kitchens generally take longer to take shape than pre-made kitchens. Expect to spend around 6 to 12 weeks in total for the fabrication and installation of your future kitchen units.
Why choose our suppliers?
At BBQ Québec, we always want to offer the best possible quality to our customers. We therefore make sure that the companies we work with to offer you superb outdoor spaces are reputable and that they create products that are beautiful, durable, and practical.
In addition, the custom outdoor kitchen companies we do business with are Quebecois and both offer a range of high-end products. We are therefore proud to encourage the local economy and the work of our artisans. And, not only that, the fact that these are products designed by local people guarantees us (and you) that they are made for our climate. No possible breakage to consider because it is -40 ° C in winter!
