WESTLAKE ROYAL 2024 INDUSTRY TRENDS

New in the booth this year, Westlake Royal will exhibit three overarching industry trends that it predicts to dominate in 2024:

  • Design Versatility - Bringing the visions of homeowners, architects, designers and builders to life demands the creation of unique and harmonious indoor and outdoor spaces that reflect continuously evolving tastes. This can be accomplished through siding, trim, stone, roofing and outdoor products delivering the highest level of Design Versatility.

To meet these varied and evolving needs, Westlake Royal Building Products is exploring every innovation, from new easy-to-install products to support services.

Westlake Royal will also detail how its products can help achieve these top trends.

There is no cost to builders and contractors who use it.
  • NEW! Unified Steel Cool Roof Colors - Developed in line with national color trends, regional building code requirements and for optimal performance, these products are Cool Roof Rated by the CRRC and manufactured to increase comfortability, help decrease energy costs and prolong the roof’s lifespan.

All Zuri products are backed by a 25-year Color Fastness Warranty against color shifting. Zuri’s color line includes Hickory, Chestnut, Walnut, Pecan, Brazilia and Weathered Gray; the planks are available in both square and grooved boards along with fascia and corners.

On display at IBS 2024, unique fire bowls are made from strong, glass-fiber reinforced concrete and hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process. Adorned with subtle variations in color and texture similar to natural limestone, each fire bowl is available in four colors with Honed or Travertine finishes.

Windows

Westlake Royal provides durable, energy-efficient and modern styles with its casement windows, patio doors, sliders, picture windows, and impact-rated options for new construction, replacement applications, single-family and multi-family.
