Why customers choose aluminum kitchens
- No swelling with water: unlike particle and fiber boards, which can swell when water leaks around the sink or dishwasher.
- Not affected by termites: aluminum is inorganic.
- Easy to clean: handles daily wiping of grease and dust.
- Many styles: modern, classic, modern-classic and fashion-modern, with matte, wood-look or cladding fronts.

Aluminum kitchens in Eastern Province humidity
In Dammam, Al-Khobar, Al-Qatif and Jubail, humid air carries Gulf salt, which corrodes weak metals and swells boards with exposed edges. Treated, coated aluminum is a practical choice there, provided you check:
- Rust-resistant hinges and runners.
- Sealed edges and silicone joints around the sink and worktop.
- Ventilation behind cabinets on external walls to avoid mold.
- Early leak checks: aluminum will not swell, but standing water still harms walls and floors.
See the materials at the Al-Khobar showroom and Al-Qatif showroom; Dammam customers can start from the Dammam kitchens page.
Aluminum kitchens in Riyadh and inland cities
In Riyadh and Qassim the challenge is heat, dust and frequent cleaning. Choose matte or wood-look fronts that hide dust better than gloss, well-sealed doors and wall units up to the ceiling to stop dust settling on top. Visit Nano's four Riyadh showrooms or the Buraidah showroom.
How much does an aluminum kitchen cost per meter?
Price is usually per linear meter, but what the meter includes varies: base only or base and wall units, and whether the worktop and installation are included. An L-shaped kitchen with 3.2 m and 2.4 m legs may count as 5.0 or 5.6 m depending on the corner. The details and a worked example are in the aluminum kitchen price guide.
