ZLINE Showcases Largest Exhibit Yet at KBIS 2026 Kitchen & Bath Indust

ZLINE Kitchen and Bath returned to the annual Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) on Feb. 17–19 in Orlando, unveiling its largest and most comprehensive exhibit to date.

Hosted by the National Kitchen & Bath Association, KBIS is North America’s premier kitchen and bath trade show. Co-located with the National Association of Home Builders’ International Builders’ Show, the events together form Design & Construction Week, which saw record attendance this year with 117,000 registered professionals visiting 2,250 exhibitors dotted across more than 1.15 million square feet at the Orange County Convention Center.

Within that footprint, ZLINE’s 3,000-square-foot exhibit marked its most ambitious presence to date. The booth featured seven fully realized kitchen layouts showcasing more than 100 products, including professional ranges, refrigeration, plumbing fixtures, and emerging product categories.

Thousands of architects, designers, builders, remodelers, and dealers stopped by the ZLINE booth during the three-day event. Daily live cooking demonstrations led by Food Network star and restaurateur Chef Mark Estee drew standing-room-only audiences, and visitors were treated to product giveaways and interactive tours.

KBIS 2026 also served as a platform to unveil forward-looking concepts, including ZLINE’s newly introduced Paramount Induction Freestanding Ranges featuring a nanotechnology anti-scratch matte cooktop, alongside first looks at designs and products slated for release later in 2026, including the Marino kitchen suite collection, Artisan Edition handles, and sleek Cabinet Hardware options.

As a Platinum Sponsor of KBIS 2026, ZLINE approached the event with heightened intention and preparation.

“Our team begins planning for KBIS a year in advance—in fact, as I say this, we already are planning for 2027,” shares Moritz Merkert, Director of Design at ZLINE. “From concept development to layout execution, dozens of team members dedicate countless hours ensuring our exhibit adequately reflects the scale of our product portfolio. In the final days leading up to the show, we worked late into the evening and early into the morning to bring our largest-ever KBIS display to life. It’s a lot of hard work, but we feel it’s our duty to present a world-class experience that demonstrates exactly what ZLINE is capable of.”

ZLINE was named a finalist in the Best of KBIS 2026 Awards (Style Statement category) for its Graphite Gray Interior Built-In Refrigerator, featuring a Black Stainless Steel finish paired with Autograph Edition Champagne Bronze Helix Handles. This recognition underscores ZLINE’s commitment to delivering attainable luxury—a critical driver of growth as the kitchen and bath industry continues to evolve.

According to NKBA, total U.S. kitchen and bath revenue is projected to reach $228 billion in 2026, with gradual recovery expected in the second half of the year. Professional remodeling is forecast to outpace DIY activity, and luxury providers are expected to outperform, driven by sustained demand among affluent homeowners.

“KBIS 2026 was, by every measure, an incredible success and a reflection of the remarkable vitality of the kitchen and bath industry,” Bill Darcy, Global President and CEO of NKBA | KBIS, said after the event. “The industry is poised for a strong outlook, and the consistent feedback we received from attendees was that KBIS reignited enthusiasm for the future and provided meaningful connections that will help their businesses grow.”

The strong response to ZLINE’s emerging product categories at KBIS 2026 reflects that alignment.

“The luxury kitchen and bath industry continues to demonstrate resilience, and our growth strategy is built around intentional design and purposeful engineering to meet customers’ ever-changing demand,” says Mason Watkins, ZLINE’s Senior Director of Marketing. “We are smartly expanding our product catalog through disciplined innovation, a strategy that will only accelerate our presence in the premium appliance space well beyond 2026. Our goals are ambitious and grounded in attainable expansion, something we feel reflects how consumers live and design their homes today.”
