HOT PRODUCTS: 2016 International Builders’ Show

Hot-Products-2016-IBS
On January 19-21, the LBM Journal editorial team explored the showfloor at the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas. Our quest: the latest/greatest products and services for the new housing and remodeling industry. We weren’t disappointed. While the vast majority of products on display represented improvements on already proven products, manufacturers are serious about contributing to more efficient, better constructed homes. As always, space limitations prevent us from including everything noteworthy, please consider this a glimpse into what’s new. The listings are in no particular order.
