It's always important to stay on top of what's new in construction if you're planning to build your own home. The International Builders' Show (IBS) and Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), held concurrently in the same location each year, are great places to gather tons of ideas and start solidifying your plans. Here are some of the products that caught our eyes at IBS and KBIS 2023!

Rivenwood™ has a panelized format for quick and easy installation, and you can choose between three colors to set the right tone!
