Are you trying to figure out the
0:01
difference between our mock system and
0:03
our concrete paneling system? Well, it’s
0:05
a question we get all the time. Maybe
0:07
you’ve been online, seen both, and
0:09
aren’t quite sure which one will work
0:11
better for your outdoor space. Well, in
0:14
this video, we’re going to take a look
0:15
at each system, how they work, just so
0:18
we can get you confident that you’re
0:19
going to choose the right one for your
0:21
outdoor space. Hi, I’m Phil with RTA
0:24
Outdoor Living and today we’re going to
0:26
tackle one of the biggest points of
0:28
confusion for homeowners when it comes
0:30
to selecting their outdoor kitchens. RTA
0:32
itself has two different build models.
0:35
We have our mock system and we also have
0:38
our monolithic panel kitchens. Two
0:42
different systems and approaches when it
0:44
comes to installations. In this video,
0:47
we’re going to take a look at how each
0:48
system works, what makes them different,
0:51
and how to decide which one will work
0:54
best for your [music] outdoor kitchen
0:55
space. The Mox system is our modular
0:58
knockdown approach for those customers
1:00
who want a super fast, [music] super
1:03
simple assembly process. Each piece is
1:05
going to be precision cut by a CNC
1:07
machine, which is going to make it
1:09
lightweight and easy to carry these
1:11
panels to pretty much any location you
1:13
[music] want. These panels are designed
1:14
to slide together easy with minimal tool
1:17
requirements and they are going to be
1:19
ideal for situations such as patios
1:22
where you have weight restrictions or
1:25
you’re just looking for the easiest
1:27
build possible. Now, the concrete panel
1:30
system is a completely different animal.
1:32
These are going to be monolithic
1:33
structural concrete panels. They’re not
1:35
steel frames. They’re not cement board.
1:37
[music] Each panel is going to be cast
1:39
in an individual mold. So there’s
1:40
nothing to rot, nothing to swell, and
1:43
nothing that can rust out from the
1:44
inside. This system is built for maximum
1:46
durability and longevity. If you want a
1:48
kitchen that feels permanent and
1:50
architectural, and you want it to last
1:52
for decades, this is going to be the
1:54
system for you. When it comes to the
1:56
installation of these two styles, they
1:58
do behave very differently. The Mox is
2:00
all about simplicity. It’s lightweight,
2:03
tool light, [music]
2:04
and easy for almost anyone to assemble.
2:06
You don’t need any specialized skills
2:08
with these as the panels are just going
2:10
to slide right together. The concrete
2:12
panel system on the other hand is going
2:14
to be heavier and more robust. These
2:16
[music] panels are going to interlock
2:17
and bolt together, which creates the
2:20
durable lifetime structure that we’re
2:22
looking for. You will need two or three
2:24
hands to carry the panels on these
2:26
concrete systems, but they are still
2:28
going to be significantly easier than
2:30
building a kitchen from scratch.
2:32
However, if you want the easiest
2:34
approach, Mox is going to be the system
2:36
for [music] you. Another difference
2:37
between these two units is design
2:39
flexibility. Mox is going to come in
2:42
pre-esigned configurations, [music]
2:44
which limits its customizable options.
2:47
This is going to be perfect for those
2:48
who want just a clear, straightforward
2:51
solution to place on their patio or deck
2:54
surface. The concrete paneling system,
2:56
on the other hand, is fully
2:58
customizable. You can design your
3:00
layout, the shape you want, how your
3:02
appliances go, and the finishes to match
3:06
exactly what you want. If you have a
3:08
unique patio, irregular space, or very
3:12
specific design goals, the concrete
3:14
paneling system is going to give you the
3:16
freedom you want in your design. So,
3:18
here’s the simplest way to make the
3:20
decision. Mox is going to be best for
3:22
those who are looking for an easy,
3:24
beautiful, fast solution to their
3:26
outdoor kitchen project. If you’re not
3:28
looking for a customizable design, this
3:30
is going to be the way to go. The
3:32
concrete panel system, on the other
3:33
hand, is best if you want a permanent
3:35
built-in feel with maximum durability
3:38
and complete design freedom. It’s still
3:41
a DIY approach, but with a much
3:43
heavydutier result. Most of our
3:45
homeowners ends up choosing based on
3:47
project scope [music] and how long they
3:49
want the kitchen to last. If you’re
3:50
trying to choose between these two
3:52
systems, the next best step is to jump
3:54
online and check out our free design
3:56
tool. You’ll be able to explore both
3:58
systems, compare layouts, and see real
4:01
pricing. And if you prefer to talk
4:03
through it, you’ll have the option to

book a free consultation with one of our
4:08
design experts. Hopefully, this video
4:09
helped you understand the differences
4:11
between our mock systems and our
4:13
concrete paneling systems. But if you
4:15
still have questions, please reach out.

We’re here to help you build that
4:18
outdoor kitchen space that you’re

dreaming
