Blue Sky Wins a 2023 Golden Hammer Award Winner

This week Blue Sky received a Golden Hammer Award for the Blue Sky Outdoor Living Kitchens. The Golden Hammer Awards continued its streak of honoring the best of the best of home improvement products and were selected from a pool of new products nominated by the industry in an open call. Products were judged on innovation, value and shelf-appeal and are also known as "Best New Products of the Year."

Here's what the Golden Hammer Awards judges had to say about the Blue Sky Outdoor Kitchens.

“Weather-resistant storage for year-round home efficiency."

“Blue Sky's Outdoor Kitchen cabinets in Slate Gray, offer a modern, functional storage to any exterior living space. A two-door cabinet features an innovative patented folding design that makes assembly quick and frustration-free. Slate-gray tempered glass doors with brushed-aluminum handles and stainless-steel hinges, provide a modern, sleek style that compliments any home.”

"We're excited to share the most recent class because it was a tough field, and the combination of innovation and value represented by these 'best products' is through the roof," said Ken Clark, editor in chief of Hardware a& Building Supply Dealer.

“Hardware stores and building supply dealers are looking for products that knock it out of the park,” said Ken Clark, editor in chief of HBSDealer. “But that’s just one of the motives behind our revived Golden Hammer program.  We also want to recognize the hard work that often goes into product development and marketing.

“When a company gets excited to receive a Golden Hammer, we get excited, too.” Clark continued. “It’s an honor to present so many worthy products this year.”
