Designing outdoor living spaces requires balancing aesthetics, performance, and longevity. For architects, specifying the right materials can make or break a project, especially when cabinetry will be exposed to weather, water, and heavy use. That’s why more architects are choosing Werever Outdoor Cabinets, crafted from solid HDPE and backed by over 20 years of proven performance.

Why Specify HDPE Outdoor Cabinets Over Other Materials?
When it comes to outdoor cabinetry, not all materials are created equal. Architects are moving away from stainless steel, wood, and PVC because of the long-term issues each presents.
- Stainless steel may be stain-resistant but is not stain-proof, and it requires protective coatings to slow down corrosion and pitting. It also lacks customizability, gets hot in the sun, and most stainless steel outdoor kitchen manufacturers offer very limited warranties. Learn more about the downsides of stainless steel »
- Wood warps, rots, and cracks under UV and moisture exposure, requiring costly upkeep. Unlike HDPE, it lacks any weatherproof/waterproof properties and experiences the most wear and tear over time. Learn more about our low-maintenance cabinetry »
- PVC carries health and environmental concerns that make it a poor choice for sustainable design. Most PVC cabinetry is laden with toxic BPAs and PFAS, and is cheaply made so will need to be replaced within a few years. Learn more about sustainable design »
By contrast, Werever’s HDPE outdoor cabinets are customizable, weatherproof/waterproof, fade-resistant, and engineered to last a lifetime. Every cabinet is custom-built to fit your client’s appliances, layouts, and style preferences, eliminating the need for field carpentry.
Spec It for Life: Long-Term, Low-Maintenance
Clients love designs that look as good in year ten as they do on day one. With our HDPE outdoor cabinetry, that’s not just possible, it’s guaranteed with our LIFETIME WARRANTY.
Unlike stainless steel or wood, HDPE does not require sealing, staining, or polishing. Maintenance is as simple as rinsing with a garden hose and wiping down with a cloth.
This simplicity translates to fewer callbacks and greater client satisfaction, helping you build long-term trust while minimizing maintenance liabilities.
Commercial Applications
Werever cabinets aren’t limited to residential backyards. Architects and industry professionals specify our HDPE cabinetry for multi-family developments, hospitality spaces, healthcare facilities, universities, resorts, and more. Our cabinets deliver the same resilience, hygiene, and low-maintenance benefits at scale, making them ideal for high-traffic and flood-prone environments where durability is non-negotiable.
From rooftop lounges to poolside bars, communal kitchens, and lab environments, Werever cabinetry provides architects with a reliable, long-term solution that reduces replacement cycles and ensures client satisfaction.
This broader range of use is a focus in our CEU Course, which explores how HDPE cabinetry supports both residential and commercial specifications.
By integrating Werever into your commercial projects, you can deliver performance-driven designs that stand the test of time.
The Case for HDPE in Sustainable Design
As architects, sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s a responsibility. Werever’s HDPE cabinetry is engineered to last for decades, breaking the cycle of short-lived products that fail and end up in landfills. Unlike PVC, HDPE is non-toxic, highly durable, and fully recyclable, making it the smarter, healthier choice for eco-conscious design.
At Werever, we don’t build disposable products. Every cabinet is designed to perform in virtually any environment, with longevity as the guiding principle. Our manufacturing process minimizes waste — production scraps are recycled, installation offcuts can be repurposed with other HDPE products, and even if a cabinet ever reaches the end of its service life, it is 100% recyclable.
By specifying HDPE, you provide clients with a solution that safeguards their investment, supports their lifestyle, and contributes to a more sustainable future.
Weatherproof Cabinetry for Flood-Prone Areas
In regions prone to storms and flooding, architects must design for resilience. Our HDPE cabinets are non-porous, weatherproof, and waterproof; engineered to withstand storms, salt air, and prolonged exposure to water without swelling, cracking, or rotting.
This resilience makes them the ideal specification for projects in hurricane zones, lakefront properties, and any environment where weather extremes are a concern. Clients get peace of mind knowing their investment won’t be destroyed by water damage.
We’ve received testimonials from clients whose outdoor kitchens have survived Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Milton, and other major weather events. A simple hose-down and wipe-down is all it takes to return them to like-new condition.
