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.
• High-Performance Products & Materials - As weather has intensified, the demand for high-performance building products has surged. Homeowners and building pros face complex product selection decisions—navigating around the areas of regional weatherability, performance and sustainability.
• Innovative Industry Solutions - Building professionals are facing the daunting challenges of labor shortages and product delivery issues while trying to gain strong project margins and grow their business. To meet these varied and evolving needs, Westlake Royal 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.
