An outdoor kitchen designed for year-round use — a place where people naturally gather

Yes. Froncrete outdoor kitchens are designed to withstand a wide range of climate conditions — from cold and humid Nordic environments to intense Mediterranean sun and salty ocean air. This is not a seasonal convenience, but a long-term investment that maintains its quality over the years. The lightweight concrete fronts and SuperIOR countertops are monomaterial surfaces that do not swell or deform due to moisture, heat, or temperature fluctuations. The surfaces are treated with a protective wax that reduces water and dirt absorption and helps preserve the material’s appearance even under intense UV exposure and in coastal environments. In strong winds, care should be taken to ensure that cabinet doors are not left open. Special wind stoppers can also be used for additional protection.

Froncrete outdoor kitchens are uniquely designed and produced in Hiiumaa, with few comparable solutions on the market offering similar technical performance. Thanks to our patented lightweight concrete production method, this is a technologically distinctive solution that ensures consistent material quality, strength, and durability even in demanding climate conditions. The furniture fronts are not based on wood or metal, which tend to age quickly under moisture and UV exposure. The visible surfaces are hand-cast from lightweight concrete, the countertops are made from ultra-strong SuperIOR concrete, and the cabinet interiors are constructed from waterproof marine plywood or other specified materials. We use mechanisms from Blum, a world-leading hardware manufacturer, and handles, faucets, and other accessories can be selected according to preference. As the concrete surfaces are monolayer material, any mechanical damage can be repaired when necessary, allowing countertops and fronts to be restored seamlessly — a significant advantage compared to many other outdoor kitchen and furniture solutions. The result is a timeless and durable architectural solution that enhances both the aesthetic and functional value of the property, fitting naturally into modern as well as classical environments.

Froncrete outdoor kitchens represent responsible luxury – a solution that combines design, durability, and conscious material use. They are created to last significantly longer than conventional furniture, reducing both consumption and waste over time. Approximately 65% of the lightweight concrete used consists of previously recycled material, and as a monomaterial, the concrete surfaces can be crushed at the end of their lifecycle and reused in new furniture production. This is not merely an environmentally friendly choice, but a long-term, circularly designed investment that unites quality with responsibility.

Yes. We design the outdoor kitchen according to the desired level of comfort — whether it includes a ceramic grill, gas grill, pellet grill, cooktop, refrigerator, dishwasher, beverage cooler, or other appliances. If desired, a pizza oven, smoker, or even a fireplace can also be integrated. Each solution is engineered to ensure appliance durability in various climate conditions while maintaining everyday usability and comfort. The goal is to create a place where people gather — not merely a place for preparing food. That is why virtually all appliances typically used indoors can also be thoughtfully integrated into the outdoor kitchen.

Although many people are accustomed to using the term “summer kitchen,” Froncrete furniture solutions are designed for year-round use. An outdoor kitchen consists of modules selected by you, which can be combined according to the size of your terrace or garden, with cabinets and drawers providing space for everything needed for outdoor cooking. Each project is tailored to the specific space and usage requirements. We consider the building’s architecture, terrace dimensions, and intended usage intensity to ensure the outdoor kitchen becomes a natural part of the home’s overall design concept. As an alternative, you may consider the Froncrete F1 modular kitchen, whose ready-made wheeled modules can be repositioned and expanded over time. Thanks to adjustable legs, the F1 kitchen can also be used on uneven surfaces.

A custom-built outdoor kitchen requires a stable base, such as a concrete slab, stone paving, or a wooden terrace. One of Froncrete’s advantages over traditional stone or solid concrete kitchens is that the visible components of the kitchen are remarkably lightweight. The F1 modular kitchen, equipped with wheels or adjustable legs, can also be placed on more uneven surfaces. An outdoor kitchen does not require a large garden or terrace — a well-designed solution can fit a compact terrace, urban courtyard, or even an apartment balcony, enhancing both quality of life and property value. Depending on the desired functionality, water, drainage, and electrical connections may be required, but the kitchen can also be designed to operate without them. A roof is not mandatory; however, it extends the lifespan of hardware and improves year-round usability.

Countertops and fronts are treated with food-safe and environmentally friendly waxes and are suitable for direct contact with food. To preserve the long-term quality of the surfaces, we recommend following these guidelines: • Clean any aggressive liquids from the surface as soon as possible — both acidic (e.g., lemon) and alkaline (e.g., baking soda solution). Strongly pigmented foods (such as beetroot, blueberries, or turmeric) should also be removed promptly to preserve the material’s natural tone. • Use neutral cleaning agents or a mild dishwashing liquid solution. For more stubborn stains, allow the area to soak before cleaning. • Avoid strong impacts and abrasive chemicals. • Always use a cutting board when preparing food and place hot cookware (taken directly from the stove or grill) on a heat-resistant trivet. • We recommend attaching silicone pads under appliances and accessories that remain on the countertop to prevent standing water and potential staining. • Clean the sink regularly to prevent grease and dirt from penetrating deeper into the surface. In extreme situations, the waterproof outdoor kitchen surfaces may be cleaned with a pressure washer if necessary, but only at low pressure and from a safe distance. When properly maintained, the outdoor kitchen will retain its tone, texture, and premium quality feel for decades.

The price of a custom-built outdoor kitchen primarily depends on its dimensions, the extent of lightweight concrete surfaces used, the integrated appliances, and the complexity of installation. A significant factor is whether the design incorporates cabinets or drawers. There are eight timeless color options available for countertops and fronts, each offering a refined design expression. Every project is individually designed, taking into account the client’s preferences, the specific space, and the architectural character of the building. The price reflects the material aesthetics, durability, craftsmanship, and long-term value.

As standard, a 5-year warranty applies to the structure, countertops, and lightweight concrete components (see detailed warranty terms). Hardware and integrated appliances are covered in accordance with the respective manufacturers’ warranty conditions. If desired, you may join our paid maintenance program, which ensures the technical and visual integrity of the furniture for 10+ years. The annual autumn service included in the program provides peace of mind, ensuring that the outdoor kitchen maintains its quality and refined appearance even with year-round use.

Yes. A custom-built outdoor kitchen is a permanently installed architectural solution, often designed in parallel with the house itself. In addition, we offer a wheeled modular outdoor kitchen solution that allows the kitchen to be repositioned as needed and expanded over time (learn more on the F1 modular kitchen subpage)(/moodulkook-f1). The F1 modular outdoor kitchen is designed with flexibility in mind. It allows the solution to be adapted to the space and lifestyle. Modules can be rearranged and complemented over time with additional functional elements, enabling the kitchen to grow sustainably alongside changing needs. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/83687d_66f30e9891704802941915bed7822929~mv2.webp
