CliKIT on TVHow to choose your covered outdoor summer kitchen?
CliKIT installations extend outdoor living and comfort for everyone. Just like a pergola installed on the terrace, the outdoor summer kitchen offers a new dimension in the art of enjoying your own home. You reduce the back-and-forth trips to the kitchen, you stop spending your time opening and closing the door, and above all, you stay close to your family or guests. The choice depends on several factors, but thanks to its SMOKEBOX range, CliKIT adapts to all homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor space and terrace in optimal conditions. Follow our advice for the project that will enhance your space and your lifestyle.
Why opt for a covered outdoor summer kitchen?
Adding a covered summer kitchen close to your terrace or the spot where you love to spend quality time during the warm season is, above all, choosing comfort and conviviality. With food and drinks in the fridge, an integrated sink and the worktop alongside the plancha, the chef of the day can focus on their role while staying close to their guests or family. You forget the back-and-forth trips, the obligation to close the door behind you every time you go inside, and you discover a whole new way of doing things. To the point where you can no longer imagine being without it!
The outdoor summer kitchen enhances the home as a whole and contributes, through its role, to the memorable moments that can be created during those long sunny days. Everything is more convenient and protection is not an issue. Aluminum protects against rain, sun, wind, and all other elements.
What solutions are available to cover your outdoor summer kitchen?
The desired level of protection is not the same for every project, and combined with other products from the CliKIT ranges, the summer kitchen kit can be the finishing touch of an outdoor space of your dreams.
The covered summer kitchen kit
The SMOKEBOX range follows CliKIT's flagship concept with an aluminum kit installation. The sandwich panel roof ensures maximum protection, as does the motorized awning closure. CliKIT's only outdoor kitchen needs no additional protection: it is designed to last and withstand all conditions.
The bioclimatic pergola
If the summer kitchen eliminates the need to be indoors, the rain-proof bioclimatic pergola allows you to adapt to all conditions and live between indoor and outdoor spaces. Close to the summer kitchen, it welcomes your guests in the greatest comfort. The bioclimatic pergola offers effective protection against rain, sun, and wind thanks to its adjustable louvres that regulate temperature and light.
The canopy and the awning
More traditional options, the pergola canopy and awning can offer welcome shade during intense heat. They are not intended to cover the summer kitchen. However, they can be combined with the summer kitchen to provide full protection. They are also an excellent solution for protecting the summer kitchen structure.
The fitted garden shed
You can perfectly well lean your summer kitchen against the garden shed space, but here again, it serves no purpose for protecting the structure. The SMOKEBOX range manages very well on its own. The integrated roof and aluminum structure are designed to protect the summer kitchen appliances. Moreover, the SMOKEBOX range offers options to protect the structure.
What equipment should be integrated into a covered summer kitchen?
From the plancha to the worktop, several pieces of equipment come to mind for a great time and a meal with friends. By integrating several custom options for the SMOKEBOX summer kitchen, CliKIT helps you fit out your summer kitchen. The integrated kitchen is an option with installations adapted to the structure (sink, plancha, fridge), as is the comfort pack which includes the extractor hood or even a television for the best atmosphere during summer evenings when the group wants to gather around a match. Adding an LED kit to illuminate the worktop and the space around the kitchen completes the experience and life around the barbecue.
What budget should you plan for a covered outdoor summer kitchen?
The price of the SMOKEBOX range depends on the size and options selected. The project can start at a price below 7,000 euros and reach double that when opting for the fully equipped XXL model.
An outdoor summer kitchen kit is an extension and, as such, a reason to consult the town hall and the local urban development plan before launching the project. However, at under 5m² of floor space, it requires no prior planning application and is not subject to the development tax thanks to its modular concept based on the SMOKEBOX.
Make sure to carry out a few checks with your town hall if in doubt. In advance, also look into water and electricity connections.
