Hearth & Home Technologies Unveils Innovative Fireplace Designs at IBS 2026

Hearth & Home Technologies®, recognized as the world's leading fireplace manufacturer, returned to the spotlight at the 2026 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders' Show (IBS) in Orlando, Florida. Showcasing a remarkable array of eleven fireplace displays, the company aims to captivate homeowners and builders alike, demonstrating how fireplaces can serve as both functional appliances and aesthetic focal points in residential design.

As an exhibitor for more than fifteen years at IBS, Hearth & Home Technologies has crafted immersive displays to illustrate the transformative potential of integrated hearth solutions. According to Sarah Lien, the company’s Vice President of Marketing, "Our new displays represent what today's homeowners and builders desire: fireplaces that elevate a space rather than just heating it." This reflects a broader trend where homeowners are increasingly looking for features that enhance their living environments.

Among the highlights of the exhibition is the debut of the Allusion Heritage from SimpliFire®, an electric fireplace that simplifies installation with innovative framing dimensions yet provides a cozy warmth that anchors room designs. Each of the eleven carefully curated displays at the Hearth & Home Technology booth is aimed at providing inspiration to builders, designers, and dealers, regardless of the price point or home style.

At the show, attendees were not only treated to the latest in fireplace designs but were also invited to join Hearth & Home Technologies' trade program, ProAdvantage. This program rewards industry partners with exclusive access to product rebates, marketing support, and additional perks that aim to foster industry collaboration.

Furthermore, Hearth & Home Technologies has planned two continuing education sessions focused on design and innovation in hearth products. These sessions, accredited by AIA and ASID, will delve into key topics such as:

- 9:30 a.m.: Fireplace Hacks for Today's Floor Plans
- 3:30 p.m.: Fireplace Feature Wall Design Symposium

Interested participants are encouraged to reserve their spots early to ensure availability.
