2008 International Builders' Show Coverage
The Consumer Reports Home & Garden team recently returned from Orlando, where we attended the International Builders' Show, the housing industry’s largest trade event. From Feburary 13-16 we checked out the latest products and gear from more than 1,900 exhibitors and attended industry conferences, all in an effort to keep you informed of the latest happenings in the American home.
We won't have tested any products featured here . . . yet. So consider our previews a chance to see what’s headed your way. We've also included some stories on the trends we spotted at the show. Bookmark this page so you can come back to read the postings we'll add in the coming days.—Steven H. Saltzman
