'Yet another fantastic showcase at KBIS! Each year, I eagerly anticipate this event as it brings together builders, contractors, and suppliers from across the nation, making it a unique gathering in our industry. The leading vendors always impress with elaborate displays, unveiling intriguing innovations. This time around, Delta Faucet Company stole the spotlight with their "screwless" finishes, promising to streamline installation, alongside a handheld shower designed to untangle hair effortlessly.
