Ontario, Canada – January 20, 2026 – NatureKast, the leader in high-performance weatherproof cabinetry, has announced a significant upgrade to its outdoor kitchen offering: new stainless steel undermounts drawer slides, developed exclusively with Hettich, now standard on all NatureKast cabinetry.
Engineered specifically for the demands of outdoor living, the new undermount slide is a custom adaptation of Hettich’s proven Quadro technology, re-engineered for NatureKast’s 5/8″ PVC drawer boxes and extreme exterior environments. The result brings a luxurious and remarkably smooth glide experience that was previously only available indoors, outside – without compromising durability.
“Outdoor kitchens have evolved dramatically, but hardware hasn’t always kept pace,” said Mike Vahrmeyer, President, NatureKast. “Working with Hettich, we’ve created a stainless steel undermount slide solution purpose-built for outdoor performance and perfectly calibrated to our PVC drawer boxes. It’s a major step forward in both longevity and user experience.”
“At Hettich, we are excited to extend our expertise outdoors with NatureKast,” said Rene Dione, President, Hettich. This partnership allows us to bring the strength of our proven hardware solutions into exterior environments, helping to elevate the outdoor kitchen experience and contribute to the joint success of our companies and better fulfill the needs of our customers.”
In addition to the new slides, NatureKast is now standardizing Hettich’s Veosys stainless steel hinges across its door program. Built for extreme temperatures and moisture, Veosys hinges are now paired with a newly engineered cam-adjustable mounting plate, allowing precise, tool-assisted door alignment in multiple directions. This improvement makes installation faster, reduces callbacks, and ensures consistently refined visual reveals.
