Outdoor Kitchen in Vancouver Designed for the City’s Coastal Climate
Vancouver homeowners are investing more in outdoor living than ever, and the demand for a premium outdoor kitchen in Vancouver keeps climbing from Kitsilano and Point Grey to Shaughnessy, Dunbar, Granville and Richmond.
To meet that demand directly, Station Grill has officially partnered with XMT Construction and Midland Appliance to deliver one of the most complete outdoor living packages available to Vancouver homeowners.
This page covers what the new partnership unlocks for Vancouver clients, where you can experience our cabinets in person, how the new mobile showroom brings the experience to your address, and the simplified program now available across the city.
A strategic partnership for your outdoor kitchen in Vancouver
The collaboration between XMT Construction, Midland Appliance and Station Grill represents a major step forward for the outdoor kitchen industry in the city.
By bringing together luxury construction, premium appliance retail and Canadian-made outdoor cabinetry, the partnership simplifies the process for homeowners and contractors. Clients can now access a fully integrated outdoor living package that includes:
- Premium outdoor kitchen design tailored to the city’s patios and terraces
- Professional construction and on-site installation in the city
- Luxury appliance integration from leading brands
- Weatherproof Canadian-made cabinetry engineered for Vancouver’s wet coastal climate
- Streamlined project management from quote to handover
Why an outdoor kitchen in Vancouver needs different materials
A backyard cooking space in Vancouver faces conditions that punish poorly built products. The city averages over 1,200 mm of precipitation per year, with relative humidity peaking at 81 percent in January and holding above 60 percent even in July.
Add coastal salt air, which reaches surprisingly far inland from English Bay and Burrard Inlet, and any outdoor kitchen built with the wrong materials starts failing within a few seasons.
Station Grill cabinets are built for exactly the conditions Vancouver delivers. Here is how the materials compare for projects across the city.
Component | Material we use | Why it works in Vancouver |
Cabinet structure (skeleton) | Proprietary 3/4 inch black PVC | 100 percent waterproof, mold-resistant, no swelling or warping |
Door and drawer facades (PUR, CLASSIC) | Marine-grade HDPE | Same material used in watercraft, handles rain, snow, freeze-thaw |
Door and drawer facades (LUX, EVO) | Anodized aluminum and NEXBOND aluminum composite panels | Ultra-resistant, gloss or matte finish, modern aesthetic |
Exterior finishing panels | NEXBOND with PVDF paint and Nano technology | Resists dirt, stains and UV degradation |
Hardware | Blum soft-close hinges and slides | European-grade, paired with non-reactive cabinet structure |
Cooking appliances | Marine-grade stainless steel grills, side burners, pizza ovens | Compatible with Hestan, Blaze, DCS, Twin Eagles and all major brands |
Countertops | Dekton, sintered stone, dense porcelain slabs | UV-stable, freeze-thaw resistant, ideal for coastal Vancouver |

New Station Grill showroom serving Vancouver
One of the milestones of the partnership is the Station Grill display at Midland Appliance Langley that was installed back in March. Located just outside Vancouver, the showroom is easily reachable for any Vancouver homeowner planning an outdoor kitchen project.
The new showroom configuration showcases a fully equipped luxury outdoor kitchen featuring:
- Hestan grill
- Blaze grill
- Side burner integration
- Outdoor refrigerator
- Dekton NARA countertop and matching backsplash
- Basil green cabinetry finish from Station Grill
The Basil green finish is becoming one of our most-requested contemporary colours, particularly for clients pairing their kitchen with cedar, dark stone or West Coast modern landscaping.
This installation gives homeowners, designers and builders the opportunity to experience a complete outdoor kitchen solution firsthand. Visitors can explore premium materials, appliance configurations and modern design trends in a fully functional environment, before committing to a configuration back home.
The display also highlights the versatility of Station Grill’s modular system, which supports a wide range of grill brands, countertop layouts and accessory integrations. Station Grill cabinets are compatible with all major grill brands, so the cabinet box adapts to your preferred appliance, not the other way around.

The XMT mobile showroom comes to Vancouver
To further expand access to a luxury outdoor kitchen in Vancouver for clients who cannot make it out to a fixed retail location, the partnership is also launching the new XMT Showroom Trailer.
The mobile showroom debuts during its first training event at Midland Vancouver, then becomes available across the city and surrounding markets where demand is strongest, including:
- Neighbourhoods like Kitsilano, Point Grey, Shaughnessy and Yaletown
- North Vancouver and West Vancouver
- The Sea-to-Sky corridor and Whistler
The goal is simple: bring the outdoor kitchen experience directly to Vancouver homeowners, builders and designers.
Rather than relying solely on traditional retail visits, the mobile showroom allows Vancouver clients to experience a Station Grill outdoor kitchen in real-world environments. This hands-on approach helps customers better understand layouts, finishes, appliance integrations and outdoor living possibilities at their own property.

A predefined outdoor kitchen program for Vancouver homeowners

The new program includes:
- Preconfigured outdoor kitchen layouts sized for Vancouver patios and terraces

For homeowners researching an outdoor kitchen, this means fewer delays, clearer budgeting and easier project planning. For builders working on infill homes, laneway projects or multi-unit residential, it brings consistent pricing and predictable lead times.

FAQ
Can an outdoor kitchen in Vancouver stay outside year-round?
Yes. An outdoor kitchen in Vancouver from Station Grill is built with a proprietary 3/4 inch black PVC structure that is 100 percent waterproof and mold-resistant, paired with marine-grade HDPE or aluminum facades. The system handles rain, humidity, salt air and freeze-thaw without warping, swelling or corroding, even on exposed rooftops or waterfront properties.
What is the difference between the predefined program and a custom outdoor kitchen in Vancouver?
The predefined program offers preconfigured layouts, DCS appliance integration and all-inclusive pricing. A custom outdoor kitchen is fully tailored: more than 150 cabinet models and sizes, your choice of collection, finishes and appliance brands, and a layout designed around your specific space. Most Vancouver clients start with the predefined program as a reference, then customize from there if their lot or cooking needs require it.
