Winning Products From KBIS and the Builders’ Show 2016

Architizer.com showcases the winning products from KBIS 2016, such as the Best of Bath: Gold winner- the DXV by American Standard’s Vibrato faucet.

Proving to be a recipe for success for the third time, Design and Construction Week brought together two of the country’s largest trade expos — the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and the International Builders’ Show (IBS) — at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

We’ll highlight some of our favorite products and trends from each show throughout this week, but for now, here are the winners from the shows’ own product awards programs.

Best of Bath: Gold was bestowed upon DXV by American Standard’s Vibrato faucet. Previewed at last year’s show, Vibrato made noise as one of the first residential faucets to be 3D-printed.
