The Owner's Insights on the Aluniq 80" Outdoor Kitchen Island with Fridge Space
This is the first layout in the lineup where your pool bar or terrace service doesn't have to choose between cold storage and counter space. Just under 80 inches of run: a full cabinet on one end, a built-in 24 inch fridge space next to it, and the grill bay and DuraKast top finishing out the other end, ready before your opening date instead of scrambling after it.
It solves the walk back inside for drinks and the cooler sitting on the ground next to the grill. The panels bolt on rather than weld on, so the finish you pick now isn't the finish your property is stuck with in five years. Aluminum frame, 304 stainless hardware, nothing here rusts near a pool deck or lets a salt breeze win.
Two things ship separately: the grill (fits up to 34 inches wide) and the fridge itself. We'll help you size both before you order.
Why You'll Love the Aluniq 80" Outdoor Kitchen Island with Fridge Space
-
Built-in 24 inch fridge space. Drinks and ingredients stay outside, at the point of service, instead of a staff trip back inside.
-
Panels bolt on, not weld on. Update the finish on a future refresh without replacing the cabinet underneath.
-
304 stainless hardware throughout. Six-way adjustable soft-close hinges and full-extension soft-close drawer glides, built for daily guest-facing use.
-
Self-leveling aluminum legs. Sits flat on a pool deck, terrace, or uneven paver surface.
-
3/4 inch DuraKast countertop on this build. A phenolic surface built for sun and splash, not stone your team has to reseal.
-
Sized for a grill up to 34 inches wide. Standard built-in grill insert, any brand that fits the cutout.
Why You Should Consider Aluniq
Aluniq builds aluminum outdoor cabinetry exclusively, nothing else, which is why the panel system swaps without touching the cabinet box underneath. The company states the anodized aluminum frame won't rust, warp, or draw termites, and backs every run with self-leveling legs and 304 stainless hardware. It's a newer name to us and to the commercial market, and we'll update this page the moment we have their written warranty terms in hand.

What Fridge Fits the 24 Inch Space?
Any standard 24 inch outdoor-rated undercounter fridge built for built-in installation, front venting, not a converted indoor unit. Send us the model your kitchen is speccing and we'll confirm the fit and clearance before you order.
Will It Hold Up Under Daily Guest Use, Near a Pool, or on the Coast?
Yes, as far as the frame and panels go. Anodized aluminum, not painted steel, so it doesn't rust, pit, or draw termites the way a steel-core cabinet can near a pool deck or salt air. The panels are rated for UV and weather exposure and wipe clean between services.
Is There a Commercial Warranty?
Not confirmed in writing yet. Aluniq is a newer name to us, and we don't print a warranty term, home or commercial, until we have it from them directly. If a commercial warranty matters to your purchase decision, call or email before you order and we'll tell you plainly what we do and don't know yet.
What Will a Permit Office or Inspector Want to See?
We don't have CSA certificates or stamped engineering reports from Aluniq yet, and we won't tell you this clears a permit office until we do. If your project needs documentation for an inspector, call us before you order — we'll tell you exactly what we can and can't provide today.
What You Source Yourself
The grill and the fridge are both ordered separately; this island is the cabinets, the fridge cutout, the end panels, and the countertop (on the top variant). Tell us the grill and fridge your project is speccing and we'll confirm both fit before you order.
Delivery to Your Property
Freight is a separate cost. Delivery is not free and it is not included in the price. Checkout does not collect it only because we do not know your delivery address until you order, and a crate this size is priced address by address, including whether it's going to a loading dock, a job site, or a standard drop. Aluniq ships fully assembled and palletized from Doral, FL; we quote the real freight for your location, send it as its own invoice, and it's paid before the island leaves the factory. Tell us if your site needs a liftgate or an appointment window and we'll get that quoted correctly the first time.
Site prep is on your contractor: a level concrete pad, pavers, or equivalent solid surface. Gas connection for the grill is a licensed professional's job.
Who This Is For (and Who It's Not)
This island is a good fit if you:
✔ Want cold storage built into the counter at your pool bar or terrace, not a cooler on the ground
✔ Want the option to update the cabinet finish on a future refresh without replacing the box
✔ Already have, or are about to spec, a built-in grill up to 34 in wide and a 24 in outdoor fridge
This may not be the right layout if you:
✖ Don't need a fridge and want more counter or storage instead — look at the 80 in 3-cabinet layout
✖ Need the grill or fridge included in the quote — both ship separately on every Aluniq layout
✖ Need it on-site before a fixed opening date — call for today's lead time; we don't have enough closed Aluniq orders yet to publish an average
Questions We Hear
Does the finish come in anything besides the gray shown here? Yes, 11 finishes total, selectable above: four wood-look, four metallic/solid, and three architectural textures, all on the same cabinet box at the same price.
What if I want a different countertop color? The DuraKast top comes in Light Cement or Dark Cement. This listing ships with Dark Cement; call or email if you want Light Cement instead.
