There’s a different kind of magic happening in Orlando this month as thousands of building and remodeling industry pros from around the world flock to the International Builders’ Show and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show 2017. Design and Construction Week offers a lot to see and do—in addition to education sessions and networking events, nearly 2,000 manufacturers and suppliers fill the show floors with new products and services. Of that impressive number, we’ve selected 13 stops you don’t want to miss.
Marvin Windows and Doors
The new Marvin Bi-Fold Door brings expansive views to homes with one of the widest panel doors in the industry. The door provides larger maximum frame heights and panel widths for large glass openings, allowing designers to use fewer panels to create even larger, less obstructed views. The doors can be customized with different panel configurations and use less visible hardware than before for a clean, streamlined look. marvin.com. Booth W2529

American Standard
The new ActiClean Toilet from American Standard cleans itself—users press a button and let the system do the rest. The self-cleaning toilet combines the power of VorMax flushing technology with a fully-integrated cleaning system, eliminating the need for manual cleaning or clip-on solutions that can damage toilet bowls. The cleaning control panel is hidden under a flip-up lid on the tank, where users can activate the system and choose from two cleaning cycle options: a one-minute quick clean or a 10-minute deep clean. The VorMax technology fills the bowl with cleaning solution and then siphons the cleaning agent out and rinses the bowl with clean water. americanstandard-us.com. Booth W1547
Armstrong Flooring
Alterna’s engineered stone flooring material provides the look of stone or tile for a stylish, resilient choice in hard-working rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms. The material is about 20 degrees warmer to the touch than ceramic or stone—which makes it more comfortable on homeowners’ feet—and is stain resistant, says the company. The line offers various options including travertine, marble, slate, and urban-inspired designs featuring weathered metal, linen, concrete, and reclaimed wood. armstrongflooring.com. Booth W6953
LG Studio
LG electronics debuts its first flat-panel, counter-depth refrigerator with instaView technology, which features a glass front panel that illuminates with two quick knocks to allow users to look inside the refrigerator without opening the door, saving both time and energy. Additionally, a door-in-door feature allows users to access frequently used items without having to open the entire unit. The ColdSaver panel, a barrier between the interior compartment and the rest of the refrigerator, helps reduce cold air loss. lgstudio.com. Booth W309

The siding is made of 50% recycled material and is 100% recyclable itself. An embossed wood grain textural pattern gives the steel a look similar to wood, and homeowners can choose from a variety of color options. The siding is treated with a silicon modified polyester coating for increased color retention. plygem.com. Booth W2501
