IBS 2026 in Orlando was amazing.
This event is always one of our favorites. Seeing all the new ideas in one place and connecting with so many people in the industry is inspiring for the year ahead. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, checked out Show Village, or joined one of our live demos. We loved talking with builders, designers, and industry pros and feeling the excitement around what’s next in exterior design. I would like to add a thank you to Wausau Supply.
Show Village Highlights
Our products were featured in the show homes alongside Diamond Kote and Waudena. From our 6” Shadowline Panel with a 3” reveal and 12” Shadowline Panels on the interior to Quick Click Beams, Column Wraps, and Board & Batten, it was awesome to see how versatile ChamClad can be in real builds. Seeing everything installed and styled really highlights how the little details make a big difference.
Our products were on full display in the Show Village Show Homes with Cavco, featured alongside industry leaders like Diamond Kote and Waudena. We showcased everything from our 6” Shadowline Panel with a 3” reveal and our 12” Shadowline Panels inside the homes to our Quick Click Beams, 7″ 2‑piece Column Wraps, Soffit, and Board & Batten. Watching ChamClad come to life in real builds was incredible—it proved just how much the right design details can transform a home.
Live Demos and Special Guests
One of the highlights of the week was hosting live demos with Keith Dykes from WKD Construction. Keith brought hands-on experience from his projects and showed attendees how our Quick Click Columns and 6” Quick Click Shadowline Soffit work in real-world builds. Watching him in action was a big hit. To see Keiths POV on the International builders show check out his IBS recap on YouTube.
We were also thrilled to welcome Scott McGillivray to our booth. As a contractor, investor, and longtime HGTV host, Scott has a unique perspective on trends, renovations, and what’s next in the industry. Chatting with him about how builders and homeowners are thinking differently about design and materials was definitely a highlight of the show.
A Big Win
Our 12” Seamless Shadowline Panel was named a Best of IBS Finalist. Seeing people engage with it and explore the different ways it can be used was the perfect way to wrap up the show.
Overall, IBS 2026 was inspiring, full of great conversations, and a reminder of why we love what we do. Seeing leaders like Keith and Scott in action made it even better, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year.
