Top Home Products from IBS & KBIS 2020
by Rachel Lyon, Editorial Director for The House Designers®
The International Builders' Show (IBS) and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) descended on Las Vegas again, bringing with them all sorts of interior and exterior home products. If you're looking for some great products to incorporate into your new home, here's what caught our eyes! This year's exhibitors put a focus on both aesthetics and practical performance, so we think this list will pique your interest, too.
Redesigned Award-Winning Garage Doors
The Avante
® Collection from
Clopay® has been a top choice for contemporary homes for years, and now it's getting an update! The new Avante AX aluminum and glass garage door has been redesigned to improve style and performance. With a smooth, flat frame and a bulb seal integrated into the tongue and groove section joints, this revamped door provides an even sleeker profile and keeps out air and water better. That means it's great for the garage and any other large apertures you might have—perhaps a pool house or studio?

A Gorgeous Slab Shower Wall Alternative
Don't want a basic acrylic stall, or a tile shower that'll be difficult to clean? Consider Wetwall panels from
Wetwall, a Wilsonart Company! These lightweight panels with a water-proof core and patented technology are easy to install over drywall, fiberboard, or even old tile. With grout-free, inconspicuous seams and large format designs, achieving the look of a luxurious stone slab shower couldn't be simpler! Wetwall will come in designs ranging from marble to wood patterns to suit any aesthetic, and it's great for applications beyond the bathroom. Perhaps you'd like water-proof walls for your mudroom or laundry room? Your contractor will make quick work of this project, or you can DIY!
