IBS 2010 Opening Day

January 19, 2010

Las Vegas – IBS Show – Professional Builder Show Village – Opening Day

Final touches were added everywhere on Tuesday in preparation for opening the gates.  Traffic through the homes and at the show in general seems to be up from last year and, fortunately, the rain is holding off!

The La Linda is the perfect combination of Traditional meets Contemporary.  The clean design elements and finish out emphasizes the openness of the floor plan and the great use of space throughout this beautiful home.

The Highlander is designed to be flexible enough to work for many different needs and applications. For the show, our Highlander model has been finished out to meet the need for a vacation home on the lake or in the mountains.  From the flooring to the slate to the mirrors, no detail was overlooked in conveying that luxury get-away feel throughout this charming cape.

Here are our first pictures as the Design Team puts the final polish on for the guests.  Check back soon for more photos and show details as they happen.

International Builders’ Show 2006

April 2, 2006

Palm Harbor proudly showcased a strong commitment to energy efficiency, top-notch construction and innovative design at this year’s International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando. For three days (January 11-14, 2006), the event welcomed over 105,000 builders, developers and other construction industry professionals to the Orange County Convention Center. The International Builders’ Show is the largest annual light construction show in the world, showcasing more than 1.5 million square feet of the latest and most advanced building products and services.

Palm Harbor displayed four homes at the show, including three homes featured in the Professional Builder® Show Village. The Show Village provides an opportunity for visitors to see, interact with and learn about top-of-the-line products installed in real homes. As a major part of this exhibition, Palm Harbor presented its advanced, money-saving building processes to a wide range of construction industry professionals. Reed Business Information and a number of leading high-end material suppliers sponsored the unique display and integrated their best building materials throughout the homes.

Palm Harbor included two ENERGY STAR® and Florida Green Certified homes from the Discovery Custom Homes line in the Show Village: “The Wilmington” and “The Bellaire.”

The Wilmington” is a charming 1,682-square-foot home featuring a full front porch, three bedrooms, two baths, an island kitchen and many other custom amenities targeting first time homebuyers and empty nesters.

The Bellaire” is a home particularly well suited for building on narrow lots without sacrificing luxury.
