What We Were Up to at IBS 2026

The International Builders’ Show was the perfect place to launch some exciting new products and host a really energizing event with our partners at FLASH. Here’s a quick look at what we brought to the show.

New Colors, New Options

One of the biggest product announcements we made at IBS was the addition of two new wood grain plank colors: Black Oak Plank and Natural Plank. That brings our total plank lineup to five, alongside American Walnut Plank, English Oak Plank and Cedar Plank.

Black Oak Plank leans into the growing trend of dark garage doors — but with a twist. Instead of a flat black finish, it features a deep, rich wood grain pattern that’s visible from the street. It’s a great way to add serious curb appeal with something that feels truly unique.

Natural Plank goes in the other direction: a clean, neutral tone that pairs beautifully with the dark and dusty siding colors trending in new construction right now. It’s a subtle complement that adds warmth without competing with the rest of the home’s exterior.

Both new colors are available in multiple door thicknesses and come with a 12-year finish warranty.

SelectView SlimLine: Now Impact-Ready

We also introduced SelectView SlimLine impact-resistant lites — a new addition to our lineup of wind-rated products. SlimLine’s long, narrow design lets natural light into the garage while keeping a sense of privacy, and it’s now available in both impact-resistant and non-impact wind rated versions.

SlimLine is one of several window options we offer across our wind-rated product line, which is designed to keep homes protected during high-wind events like hurricanes and tornadoes. When the garage door holds, research shows that 90% of homes sustain no structural damage — a stat that resonates with builders, homeowners, and insurers alike.  The wind rated display was a big hit. The video and graphics explain how a small investment to upgrade the garage door track to a wind rated system, will provide protection for the consumer's property and family, while providing the builder with a way to set their home apart from other builders.  

After Hours with FLASH

We also hosted an invitation-only evening event with the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) that brought together builders, dealers and resilience experts for a conversation about home safety. Speakers included Leslie Chapman-Henderson (FLASH President & CEO), Tim O’Neil (My Safe Florida Home Program), Fred Malik (IBHS FORTIFIED) and Dr. David Prevatt from the University of Florida.

The discussion centered on the role garage doors play in protecting homes during extreme weather — and on the business case for making safety part of the sales conversation. It was a great night and a good reminder that what we build matters beyond aesthetics.
