This new lightweight, 100% eco-friendly cabinetry construction solution with an aluminum honeycomb core garnered Paneluxe the Kickstarter Award at KBIS this year. The company indicates that the product is manufactured with eco-friendly materials and is 100% recyclable. It can be used in acrylic panels, compact laminate panels, kitchen shutters, wardrobe shutters, doors, tandem box bottom backs, vanity cabinets and modular kitchens and wardrobes.
- RainStick Lite by RAINSTICK
Using 80 percent less energy and water, according to the company, the RainStick Lite also integrates with Alexa and Google.

- 30-inch Flex Induction Cooktop by SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE
This Signature Kitchen Suite cooktop offers multiple options to speedup the cooking process, including four induction elements featuring a 5,700 watt, 11-inch wide dual element for rapid boiling; and the Flex Cooking Zone that combines two different induction zones for greater versatility across a 30-inch area. It also has 7-inch, color LCD touch control and slim profile, making it a versatile solution for any kitchen.
- WasteLAB VOX® Sink by KOHLER
