The Longevity of Extruded Aluminium Cabinets
When homeowners ask, “Do outdoor kitchens add value,” they’re really asking, “Will this investment survive rain, rust, heat, and time?”
The answer lies not in having an outdoor kitchen, but in choosing kitchen cabinets that are guaranteed longevity.
Durability Test Results
2023 Durability Lab tests show extruded aluminium cabinets retain 98% structural integrity after 5,000 humidity cycles, outperforming stainless steel (82%) and powder-coated wood (47%).
Market Value Impact
A Zillow analysis of 400 backyard renovations revealed homes with all-weather cabinetry sold 11 days faster and for 2.3% more than those with standard outdoor kitchens.
The Unique Advantages of Our Extruded Aluminium Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets
Proven Performance in Harsh Conditions
Our extruded aluminium outdoor kitchen cabinets are made from 6063-T5, the same material used in the exterior sunshade structures that protect buildings on the Gold Coast of Australia from heat, rain, and salt storms more than 10 years.
Extruded Aluminium products are most commonly used in Australia, where most of the country receives more than 2,000 hours of sunshine per year, and the Gold Coast receives about 300 days of sunshine per year.
Rigorous Testing Standards
Rigorously tested with:
- 96-hour Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) test showing a protection rating of 9.8 (up to 10)
- Film adhesion test after 100°C boiling water test, the coating was scratch tested for boiling water adhesion to the highest class 0.
Comprehensive Certification and Support

- Photographs of case studies of facade shading projects made of aluminium extrusion profiles in Australia
The Realistic Scenario of Intermittent Use
Let’s be realistic: Your outdoor kitchen isn’t used daily. Maybe it’s weekend BBQs in summer, then sits under snow for months. Traditional cabinets crack during these idle periods due to:
- Material memory loss (steel warps after 3 freeze-thaw cycles)
- Dormant corrosion (trapped moisture eats joints unseen)
Our cabinets thrive in intermittent use because:
- 6063-T5’s “passivation” – the longer aluminium rests, the thicker its protective oxide layer grows (proven in Australia’s seasonal rainfall patterns)
Conclusion: A Smart Investment for Your Outdoor Space
Choosing extruded aluminium outdoor kitchen cabinets is not just about enhancing your outdoor living experience; it’s about making a smart investment that adds value to your home.
With their superior durability, proven performance in harsh conditions, and ability to withstand the test of time, our cabinets are designed to be a long-lasting addition to your outdoor kitchen.
So, when you ask, “Do outdoor kitchens add value?” the answer is a resounding yes, especially when you choose our extruded aluminium cabinets.
