Outdoor Kitchen Concrete Panels | The Most Fail-Proof

Are you researching an outdoor kitchen project… But not sure what the best construction method is? Outdoor kitchen concrete panels are the answer you’ve been looking for.

Why?

This comes down to the concept of monolithic vs. non-monolithic construction. Allow us to explain. Monolithic construction simply means that it’s solid construction, consisting of one piece. That’s exactly what outdoor kitchen concrete panels are. They are single pieces of concrete… Arranged together to create the structure of your grill island.

Now, what about non-monolithic construction? Non-monolithic outdoor kitchens have many layers to them. At first, this may not seem like a problem. However, upon further inspection… These layers are quite problematic!

Why?

The more components there are to a construction method… The higher the chance that something will go wrong or fail. And in the case of an outdoor kitchen? It’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong! When it comes to non-monolithic construction… The most common issue you will face is delamination.

This means the layers of your outdoor kitchen begin to peel away. (Yikes!) And the longer this issue goes untreated… The more likely the structure of your outdoor kitchen will become compromised. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about these issues.

The solution?

Why, outdoor kitchen concrete panels, of course! This monolithic construction method completely eliminates all of the above challenges. Since there are no distinct layers… There’s no concern of your finish peeling off the frame. And since these panels are constructed from concrete… Rust, rot, and corrosion are a complete non-issue.

Sounds pretty great, right?

It is.

Intro

00:05
hey there it’s james with rta outdoor living and in this video i am going to explain our panel construction because it is such a unique concept in the industry and we get a lot of questions about how our panels work

0:17
monolithic vs nonmonolithic

00:17
the easiest way to put it is that our panels are considered monolithic construction versus what most traditional outdoor kitchen methods use which is considered non-monolithic construction you may be wondering what the term monolithic even means well the term monolithic really just

00:34
refers to consisting of one piece or solid construction the other outdoor

0:38
multilayered construction

00:39
kitchen methods use a multi-layered process where there is usually some type of frame that makes up the structure of the island and then they use a cladding material atop the frame or structure to create the finish of the island the challenge with this is that since it

00:54
is built in multiple pieces or multiple layers or not monolithic construction then it can be susceptible to delamination or failure down the road since our panels themselves are structural and don’t require a frame and have the veneer or finish incorporated into the panel during the

01:12
casting process it remains as one solid piece and then therefore there is zero chance of delamination of the finishing layer this is especially critical in areas where freeze thought is prevalent

1:25
finishes

01:25
a lot of people ask us if our finishes are actually real whether they are choosing a stone wood or any other finish that we offer and the reality is that none of our finishes are quote unquote real every one of our finishes is actually replicated off of the real

01:41
thing for example if we have a stone finish we have molds that are replicated off of real stone and our concrete mixture is poured into the molds to create the finished panels the same thing can be said for our wood finishes the panels are poured into a

01:57
mold that is replicated off of real wood

2:00
outro

02:00
all of our panels are made out of a high performance concrete material which means that all of the finishes are concrete this includes our weathered wood finish our brick finishes stone finishes and all of our plank finishes the advantage here is that they will all

02:16
be made out of an incredibly durable material that will hold up long term even in the harshest outdoor environments we hope this video was helpful in understanding our construction process a little bit further if you still have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments

02:30
below and we’ll be happy to answer them for you as always i’m james with rta outdoor living and we look forward to seeing you on the next video [Music]
