Oldcastle APG Unveils Cutting-Edge Outdoor Solutions at the 2026 Builders' Show

Oldcastle APG, a notable CRH Company, is set to present an array of exciting product innovations at the upcoming NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) in Orlando, Florida, happening from February 17 to 19, 2026. As North America's top provider of outdoor building solutions, Oldcastle APG aims to support builders by addressing the growing need for affordable and efficient outdoor spaces, a critical response to persistent labor and affordability challenges in the construction industry.

With the backing of CRH's extensive resources and market presence, Oldcastle APG offers a comprehensive suite of products designed to facilitate everything from foundational work to the finishing touches on outdoor projects. During the IBS event, attendees will witness the unveiling of multiple innovative solutions, including the award-nominated Papyrus Artforms and cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) applications. These developments aim to streamline the design and construction processes, allowing contractors and builders to work more efficiently, ultimately saving costs and enhancing project outcomes.

AlumiCast™ Surface Technology: A Revolution in Outdoor Aesthetics

One of the standout innovations introduced by Oldcastle APG is the AlumiCast™ surface technology. This state-of-the-art solution provides the sophisticated look of aluminum while harnessing the durability and benefits of composite materials. By merging the proven Composicore® composite structure with a proprietary aluminum-like cap, AlumiCast™ sets a new benchmark in outdoor products, ensuring resistance to elements such as splitting, rot, and mold.

Among the key products utilizing AlumiCast technology are the RDI Fusion Rail and the Catalyst Manchester Fence. The RDI Fusion Rail boasts a sleek, minimalistic design aimed at builders seeking both style and affordability. Its wood-free Composicore construction, paired with AlumiCast's stylish black finish, ensures a modern touch to outdoor railings. Additionally, the Catalyst Manchester Fence redefines traditional fencing with its classic design now underpinned by robust composite engineering, allowing builders to deliver a high-quality aesthetic without excessive expenses.

Further extending its offerings, Oldcastle APG will soon introduce the RDI Overlook™. This new railing system promotes the popular T-rail profile seen in past designs but now utilizes composite construction to ensure a modern, sleek appearance at a competitive price point.

Belgard's Hardscapes Portfolio Expansion

Oldcastle APG's brand Belgard is also making waves at the IBS by enhancing its hardscapes lineup. A notable update is the introduction of the Papyrus Artforms modular panel system, crafted with unique textures to empower designers in creating stunning outdoor environments. As a Best of IBS finalist, this modular system combines functionality and aesthetic appeal, perfect for creating high-end outdoor spaces like seating walls and kitchens efficiently.

The expansion also includes updates to the Delmaro Coping, designed specifically to enhance poolside aesthetics, paired seamlessly with popular pool finishes. Moreover, the Tandem Omni Connector™ simplifies the construction of various outdoor structures, enabling builders to create durable vertical installations with ease and flexibility.

Supporting Builders Across the Board

Tim Ortman, President of Americas Building Products at CRH, emphasized the company’s commitment to offering a complete package of solutions designed to empower builders and developers. With an emphasis on integrated design, dependable outdoor living products, and a substantial distribution network, Oldcastle APG positions itself as a trusted partner in the construction sector. The comprehensive offerings from Oldcastle APG not only aim to enhance the quality of builds but also strive to maximize profitability while reducing project complexity.

Additionally, they will showcase solutions for stormwater management and permeable pavers, underlining their focus on resilient and sustainable project designs for modern builders.
