Westlake Royal Launches Kindred Outdoor Design Tool

Westlake Royal Building Products, a division of the Westlake Corporation, announces the launch of its new Outdoor Design Tool for Kindred Outdoors + Surrounds—an interactive visualizer that helps users imagine, design, and plan custom outdoor living spaces with ease. Whether building new or enhancing an existing area, the tool provides an intuitive, hands-on experience to explore products, experiment with layouts, and make confident design decisions, the company says.

The new Outdoor Design Tool is a platform that allows contractors, landscape architects and homeowners to create detailed outdoor designs, starting with a layout and then customizing with Kindred’s solutions. Users can incorporate a wide range of Kindred products, including Signature Kitchens, outdoor cabinets, fire bowls, fireplaces, and fire pits, available in multiple finishes and colors. Designs can be further customized with a curated selection of architectural stone veneer, cooking appliances like grills and ovens, as well as lighting, flooring, furniture, and plants to create a fully imagined space.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the new Outdoor Design Tool for Kindred Outdoors + Surrounds,” said Steve Booz, vice president of marketing at Westlake Royal Building Products. “Whether for personal inspiration or professional use, this tool empowers users to visualize and personalize their space with Kindred’s beautiful, functional products—designed to bring outdoor living visions to life.”

To simplify and streamline the journey from concept to construction, users can use the tool to generate a design summary to guide contractors through the planning and specification stages, ensuring a smooth, efficient build process.

In addition to the tool’s design capabilities, in-platform guidance is also available to support users throughout the process. This includes helpful callouts and tips for using a variety of tools—such as controlling lighting conditions, adjusting viewing angles and tracking products applied to the space—making it especially valuable for first-time users exploring the platform’s robust features.
