High Grade HDPE,


Inside and Out

High Density Polyethylene, or HDPE, is the material that defines everything we make.

We chose it in 1999 because nothing else could hold up to corrosive sea air, a New England winter, and an Arizona summer without asking anything of the person who owned it.

More than twenty-five years later, nothing has changed our view.

Solid Color Throughout

UV-stabilized pigment runs through the entire profile. The color cannot chip, peel, or fade from the surface because it is the material.
