Kitchen & Bath 2026
Highlights from this Year’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Orlando
The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), organized by the National Kitchen & Bath Association, was hosted in Orlando February 17–19. The trade show is one of the two programmed events of the larger Design & Construction Week (DCW). (The other is the International Builders’ Show, hosted by the National Association of Home Builders.) Starting in 2027, DCW will return to Las Vegas annually through 2030. Over 600 exhibitors at KBIS showcased their products, including recent releases ranging from outdoor kitchens and indoor stovetops to bathroom fixtures, wine shelving, and more. Here are some highlights RECORD chose.

Coit
Brondell’s newest smart bidet toilet is designed to keep your hands clean. It automatically opens, closes, and flushes, or those same actions can be turned on by a foot-activated button. The seat’s bidet nozzle offers adjustable water pressure and is paired with a warm-air dryer vent.

Vitreon
Swiss manufacturer Laufen has added a glazed steel treatment, Vitreon, to its catalogue of materials (formerly composed solely of ceramics). It is exceptionally thin, with wall thicknesses ranging from 1.5mm to 3mm. A benefit of its proprietary coating and high-temperature firing, it is corrosion-protected and scratch-resistant. Vitreon can be chosen for select collections, including the Tricolor sink basin (pictured).
