What Makes Marine-Grade Aluminum Exceptional?

Originally developed for structural shipbuilding applications, marine-grade aluminum is engineered to withstand extreme conditions. Its properties make it uniquely suited for outdoor kitchens:

1. Corrosion Resistance
   Thanks to its alloy composition, marine-grade aluminum resists rust and corrosion, even in salty coastal air.
2. Weather Durability
   This material handles temperature fluctuations, heavy rain, snow, and UV exposure without sacrificing strength or appearance.
3. Sustainability
   As one of the most recyclable materials on the planet, aluminum is a sustainable choice, delivering long-term value without compromising environmental responsibility.

Proven Toughness: The Coast Guard Connection

Marine-grade aluminum’s toughness is trusted by the US and Canadian Coast Guard for their vessels. These ships endure relentless waves, heavy impacts, and abrasive environments every day. If marine-grade aluminum can perform in these extreme conditions, imagine how well it will stand up to the challenges in your backyard.

With its proven durability, this material ensures your West Porch outdoor kitchen remains a reliable centerpiece of your outdoor space for decades to come.

Built on Decades of Metal Expertise

West Porch’s commitment to quality is rooted in a 70-year legacy of metal fabrication. For nearly seven decades, we’ve worked with virtually every metal available, giving us unparalleled insights into their strengths and weaknesses. This deep expertise informed our decision to choose marine-grade aluminum for its superior performance in:

• Outdoor durability
• Resistance to wear and tear
• Sustainable manufacturing

By leveraging this knowledge, we’ve designed outdoor kitchens that not only meet but exceed expectations for long-term reliability and aesthetics.

The Power of Premium Powder Coating

To enhance the performance of marine-grade aluminum, we apply an ultra-durable powder coat—a finish that combines beauty with industry-leading protection. Here’s how it works:

• Surface Preparation

  Aluminum surfaces undergo rigorous pre-treatment and etching processes to ensure the powder coat adheres flawlessly.

• Enhanced Protection
  The powder coat adds a robust layer of defense against moisture, UV rays, and salt.
• Comprehensive Coverage
  Every exposed surface, inside and out, is powder coated for maximum protection and a consistent, uniform appearance.
