In February, more than 100,000 people flocked to the Las Vegas Convention Center to see what’s trending in the kitchen and bathroom industry and peruse new building materials. The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and The International Builders’ Show (IBS) hosted over 2,000 manufacturers and companies from around the world to showcase the newest appliances, fittings, surfaces, air/weather barriers, and other building materials as well as kitchen and bathroom products.

Enabled by improvements in technology, new products answer to the growing demand for healthy building environments and sustainable practices. Integrated technologies connecting plumbing, HVAC, and electric systems create one symbiotic building system.

There were some pretty spectacular sights to see. We were impressed by 3D-printed faucets, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, plumbing developed by San Francisco–based tech startups, and the next generation of smart toilets. We bring you the latest trends from KBIS and IBS below.
