Outdoor Kitchen Units
Vlaze ADAPT is a British-made modular outdoor kitchen system, designed for gardens, terraces and open-air living. Crafted with a 304-grade stainless steel chassis and our signature porcelain vitreous enamel finish, each unit brings lasting beauty, resilience and practicality to outdoor cooking spaces.
Weather-resistant, heat-resistant, hygienic and easy to maintain, Vlaze ADAPT is made for year-round use in the British climate. Whether arranged as a compact terrace kitchen or a larger garden kitchen with island seating, the modular system allows you to create a layout that feels natural to your space and the way you cook.
A modular system for outdoor living
Vlaze ADAPT is designed to bring flexibility and refinement to outdoor cooking spaces. Built around 40cm, 60cm and 120cm modules, the system can be arranged as a straight run, an L-shaped kitchen or an island setting, depending on the scale and character of the space.
This modular approach allows each kitchen to feel considered rather than fixed. Start with the essentials, or create a more complete garden kitchen with preparation space, storage, refrigeration, a sink and integrated cooking.
Many units are available on discreet castors, making the layout easier to adjust over time. Each module also arrives pre-built, helping to create a cleaner and more efficient installation for homeowners, designers and landscapers.
Materials made for outdoor cooking
Vlaze outdoor kitchen units are built around a 304-grade stainless steel chassis and finished in porcelain vitreous enamel, a durable glass-like surface fused to steel at very high temperatures.
This combination is designed for the demands of outdoor cooking, including heat, weather exposure, food preparation and regular cleaning. It gives the units a refined architectural finish while keeping them practical for everyday use.
Why porcelain vitreous enamel works so well outdoors
Porcelain (vitreous) enamel is non-porous, hard-wearing and easy to clean, making it especially well suited to outdoor kitchen cabinetry, work surfaces and splash areas.
The surface helps resist staining, UV fading and heat exposure, while offering a smooth, tactile finish that is difficult to achieve with many conventional outdoor materials. Because it is non-porous, it is also a hygienic choice for food preparation areas where simple maintenance matters.
Built for the British climate
Outdoor kitchens in the UK need to cope with rain, damp air, changing temperatures and seasonal use. Vlaze units are designed for year-round outdoor living, with materials selected for durability, performance and a lasting visual finish.
The modular cabinetry is made to perform in real garden conditions, whether installed on a terrace, within a covered outdoor room or as part of a more exposed garden kitchen layout.
Unit types and typical outdoor kitchen layouts
Vlaze ADAPT helps you build an outdoor kitchen around the way you cook, prepare and host. The system includes specialist units for grilling, washing, refrigeration and storage, allowing you to create a layout that feels practical day to day and effortless when entertaining.
Whether you are planning a compact terrace kitchen or a larger garden installation with an island, the range can be configured to suit your space and adapted over time.
Core unit types
The ADAPT range includes grill housing units for drop-in and slide-in barbecues, with soft-close drawers below for tools, accessories and cooking essentials.
Sink and tap units keep preparation and cleaning close at hand, while outdoor fridge modules help keep ingredients and drinks at serving temperature. Storage cabinets, cutlery drawers and pull-out bin solutions help keep the kitchen organised and reduce trips back indoors.
Corner units connect runs cleanly, while island units create a sociable focal point for cooking, serving and gathering.
Typical layout options
Because the system is modular, Vlaze outdoor kitchen units can be arranged in several common formats depending on available space and how you use the kitchen.
- L-shaped outdoor kitchen
Ideal when you want a more efficient prep to cook workflow with clear zoning for grilling, prep and storage. - Straight run
A clean, space efficient layout that works well for terraces, courtyards and smaller gardens. - Island layout
Ideal for larger gardens and entertaining spaces, creating a central area for cooking, serving and socialising. - Run plus island
Combines practical wall side storage and appliances with a separate island for prep, serving or guest interaction.
Colours and finishes
Vlaze outdoor kitchen units are available in a curated range of colours, designed to sit comfortably within modern gardens and outdoor living spaces.
The vitreous enamel finish gives each unit a clean architectural look, while remaining practical for outdoor cooking and easy to maintain.
Designed and made in Britain
Vlaze outdoor kitchen units are designed and made in England on the Isle of Wight by A.J Wells & Sons, a family company with a long heritage in metalwork and vitreous enamel.
Founded in 1972, A.J Wells & Sons is known for specialist enamel work, including signage and cladding for the London Underground and Paris Metro. The company is also a recent winner of the King’s Award for Enterprise.
This manufacturing heritage is central to what sets Vlaze apart, bringing specialist materials knowledge, precision fabrication and British craftsmanship to outdoor kitchen design.

Pricing, lead times and installation
Vlaze outdoor kitchen units are made to order, with quotations based on your chosen layout, unit types, finish and appliance specification.
We provide clear, itemised pricing so you can see how each element affects the overall cost. Lead times are confirmed at quotation stage and reflect made-to-order manufacturing.
Delivery is coordinated around your project schedule, and a white-glove installation service is available to position each unit on site with care.
Planning for installation
Vlaze modules arrive pre-built, helping to create a cleaner and faster installation process.
Where your kitchen includes grills, sinks or fridges, your installer may need to prepare gas, water or electrical services in advance. We provide guidance during the design stage so site preparation can be planned before delivery.
How to start your outdoor kitchen design
To begin, send our team the dimensions of your space, a few photos and a short wish list covering how you plan to cook, host and use the area.
We will use this information to prepare a tailored layout concept with suitable modules and finish options. From there, we refine the design with you before confirming the specification, quotation, lead time and manufacture.
