IBS 2018 WRAP UP
HOT Products on the Showroom Floor!
We think you'll find these interesting...

Kitchen & Bath Finishes
The hottest finish for kitchen and baths this year is brushed gold and matte black. These finishes are being applied to contemporary, transitional and traditional faucet styles. 
Ombré Faucet by Kohler
We have seen ombré everywhere in the design world… now mixed-finish faucets are taking the stage!
Pivital Kitchen Collection by Delta
A contemporary styling with exposed hose for a striking new approach.
Farmhouse Sinks
No surprise that farmhouse sinks were seen all over the showroom floor, however, they're now seen in more finishes such as fire clay and distressed granite. Kohler's version allows for an apron overhang that fits over the cabinet lip with no cutting into cabinetry.
U by Moen
A digital shower that can be operated through voice, phone, and controller. Moen has partnered with Amazon to turn on your shower and set temperature using Alexa. We are getting closer to a fully connected smart home...
Multiple Use Vanity Mirror
Vanity mirrors have now become a 3-in-1 product; a large mirror, LED light, and medicine cabinet.
Innovative Lighting
Not your typical chandeliers... Maxim Lighting introduced the LED "fandelier" and the LED “bracelet”. Ceiling fan function and art incorporated beautifully into these light fixtures. 
Electric Steam Fireplaces
Introduction of many new styles of electric fireplaces including Modern Flames "Fusion Fire" with steam technology to simulate a more realistic flame. 
100% Waterproof
Luxury-Vinyl-Plank Flooring
LVP can now look exactly like real wood and is 100% waterproof in numerous styles and finishes.
Modern Front Doors
Larger scaled front doors for greater style impact…The modern design displayed above demonstrates a more interesting way to let light in.
We aren't done yet! More info to come from Builder Show seminars regarding the future of our industry.
