In 2009, original operating in Florida, NatureKast brought to market beautifully crafted cabinetry that looks like wood but is actually molded in high density resin. Hand-finished to perfection, the NatureKast cabinets quickly earned legions of fans for the finest in weatherproof outdoor kitchen cabinetry that mimic the look and feel of real wood. Due to its rapid growth, in 2015, NatureKast production was moved to a facility in Canada to meet the ever-increasing demand. Today, NatureKast has redefined outdoor living thanks to its unique blend of innovation and craftsmanship. NatureKast has been the recipient of notable awards such as the 2020 HBA Innovative Product of the Year; the 2019 Vesta Award for Outdoor Furnishings; the 2018 Builders & Remodelers Show Award for Best New Product and the National Kitchen and Bath Association Show (KBIS/NKBA) People’s Choice Award.
The Secret Behind NatureKast’s Weather-Defying Cabinets: NatureKast’s use of high-density resin sets it apart. While many outdoor cabinetry companies utilize materials like stainless steel or wood, NatureKast’s proprietary resin technology replicates the appearance of real wood while providing unparalleled durability. NatureKast Slab, Shaker, Rustique, Louver and Contempo doors and panels are molded in high density polyurethane resin. These parts are hand finished to look and feel like the real wood masters. Euro doors and panels are made from a High-Pressure Laminate (phenolic resin). These material innovations ensure that the cabinets can endure harsh weather conditions without compromising aesthetics.
Long-Lasting Beauty in Any Weather: The weatherproof nature of NatureKast cabinets outshines many competitors in terms of durability and low maintenance. While some outdoor cabinetry options require frequent maintenance or may degrade over time due to exposure to elements like moisture, UV rays, or extreme temperatures, NatureKast’s cabinets are engineered to withstand these challenges, requiring minimal upkeep, and ensuring a longer lifespan.
Note, however, that there is a distinction between weatherproof and waterproof. Although NatureKast cabinets have been engineered to withstand (and not be negatively affected by) weather, they are not watertight, as this is not normally best practice in an exterior environment where humidity and damp can build up in tightly closed spaces. NatureKast cabinetry allows some air flow and will keep most water out (when properly installed). For certain applications, where water intrusion is a problem, the company has produced a weather-seal gasket, which can be installed to reduce the amount of water that seeps into openings.
Not Just for Outdoor Living: Although original intended for elegant outdoor living, NatureKast cabinetry has many uses. It can be installed as an indoor kitchen in flood-prone areas like boat houses, as well as areas that have problems with wood-destroying insects. Entertainment centers, dog cleaning stations, potting garden centers, dock cabinetry, fish-cleaning islands and much more are all possible with the vast selection of cabinets and parts from NatureKast.
With its ability to seamlessly integrate outdoor living spaces with indoor designs; its industry awards and recognition for pushing the boundaries of design and functionality; and its winning combination of aesthetic appeal, durability, and functionality, it’s no wonder NatureKast cabinetry resonates so strongly with homeowners and designers alike.
If you’re looking to incorporate weather-resistant cabinetry into your outdoor kitchen, poolside patio, workshop, or home, Swartz Kitchens and Baths can help! Take the first step by scheduling an initial meeting with a designer at any of our five convenient locations.
Weathering the Elements in Style
Setting a New Outdoor Standard: For centuries, wood has been the building material of choice for cabinet makers. Despite its great track-record, wood does not perform well outdoors. NatureKast was born out of a growing frustration with the lack of options for outdoor cabinetry that could withstand diverse weather conditions but still had the warmth and elegance of wood.
