Best of IBS Outdoor Living Product: Aero-Therm Advance Coatings

Would you like an insulation product whose thermal reflecting coating redefines the entire concept of heat and energy conservation within your home? By focusing on the available radiant energy to absorb and reflect heat back into the room, Aero-Therm Innovative Coatings quickly achieves a thermal balance that prevents heat loss and makes a more comfortable living climate—for less cost than traditional insulation.

It’s also the 2018 Best of IBS winner for Best Outdoor Living Product (tied with Aquor House Hydrant V2)! 

A 1mm layer of Aero-Therm is all that’s required to save up to 35% of energy used to heat your home. The ultra-thin reflective coating creates warm walls, eliminates cold spots and reduces mold. No regular insulation method offers this performance at such low thickness. 

Other ways Aero-Therm is “the cool way to warm walls”:

26% or more faster than traditional insulation when warming to ambient room temperature

Reduced floor-to-ceiling temperature differences for more balanced temperature

Wall-to-wall warmth with fewer cold spots, allowing comfort with the thermostat set lower

Enables installation of a lower-powered heating system

Two-day installation process

Aero-Therm’s nanotechnology component, AeroGel, so successfully transfers heat in lightweight material, NASA uses it extensively in its space program

AeroTherm is a water-dilutable putty that can be applied to interior or exterior walls, ceilings or into the floor formation. It’s applied in a similar process to plastering, leaving a surface that’s smooth and ready to paint.

Best of IBS Home Technology Product: Onelink Safe & Sound Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Echoing the brand slogan of “always connected, always protected,” the BRK Brands/Onelink Safe & Sound Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm is the first-ever smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with built-in Alexa Voice Services. And echoing the 2018 Best of IBS Awards’ trend of smart technology monitoring homes’ safety and comfort, the Safe & Sound was named Best Home Technology Product. 

Installed in your selected rooms, each alarm utilizes Bluetooth Mesh technology to speak with the other alarms. When one alarm goes off in one room, all interconnected alarms will sound as one, notifying you what the specific danger is and in what room.

If you’re away from the home, Safe & Sound alerts you to emergencies through mobile alerts. The system app, or your voice, can also control lights, locks and more.

Safe & Sound also fills any room with immersive, 360-degree high-end audio, while advanced microphones with noise-cancellation technology let Safe & Sound hear you from any direction–even while playing Amazon music or news. Safe & Sound is equipped with a premium home speaker with quality comparable to top speaker systems on the market today.

“Onelink Safe & Sound has introduced entertainment into a safety device, intending to be a family’s new best friend,” says Angelica Smith, BRK Trade Marketing Manager. “Safe & Sound provides three valuable functions in one home automation device, reducing the footprint and adding convenience for the homeowner: smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, premium home speaker, enabled voice assistant–all in one!”

A 10-year sealed battery means no battery replacements for the life of the alarm and no low battery chirps in the middle of the night. This alarm is available in hardwired or battery versions.

Congratulations to Onelink, and meet the other Best Home Technology Product finalists:

Best of IBS Kitchen Product: Artis Wall™

How would you like to affordably transform the entire look of your kitchen walls (or any room!) in just minutes, with a perfect fit and zero damage? And help the environment in the process?

Meet ARTIS Wall, the 2018 Best of IBS winner for Best Kitchen Product!

This beautiful and easy-to-install system uses authentic, reclaimed wood from old barns and other structures around the U.S. and crafts them into Artis Wall planks that can be effortlessly installed, removed, and reused in any room. Every plank comes with a code stamp on the back identifying where your reclaimed wood came from.

Or, enjoy Artis Wall Stone, made of scrap, paper-laminate composite materials sourced from fabricators of anything from bathroom partitions to skateboard ramps!

Interest in Artis Wall caught on quickly, says creator Patrick Cartellone. “We decided to launch on Kickstarter to introduce the product and installation system to an entrepreneurial audience. After hitting the goal within three days, we knew this could be special.”

According to Cartellone, Artis Wall stands out because of its ease of use. “We offer consumers a simple and smart way to decorate their home. Making the product removable, reusable and damage-free is a first in the industry. This is a clear differentiation to other wall décor offerings.”

You can have your Artis Wall creation in just a few simple steps. First, measure your wall in inches and use the calculator to determine how many square feet you will need to purchase. Prep your walls and install the planks in minutes. Then sit back and enjoy the beauty of your modern yet rustic wall!

Artis Wall will adhere as long as you want it to. If you ever need a change, simply remove the planks and peel the patented adhesive strips from your wall--Artis Wall leaves no marks or damage. Artis Wall offers a flex payment plan, and orders ship within 48 hours.

Congratulations, Artis Wall! And meet the other Best Kitchen Product finalists:

Best of IBS Window & Door Product: VELUX Active

VELUX America and smart home solutions partner Netatmo are working together to bring you the first smart automated control of roof windows, blinds and shutters: VELUX Active. The Best of IBS winner for top Window & Door Product infuses your home with natural light and fresh air, and will be available this July!

People spend 90% of their time indoors, so the quality of your indoor climate (temperature, humidity, air quality, daylight levels) has a huge impact on your health and that of your family. According to the World Health Organization, our indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. And not getting enough daylight during the day has been shown to negatively affect sleep, while not having a properly darkened room at night can do the same.

VELUX ACTIVE takes care of all this for you! The system measures these critical parameters above—even the weather forecast--then automatically operates your VELUX windows, blinds and shutters to ensure your indoor environment is optimum. And because roof windows are located at the top of the house, where stale air tends to collect, the positive effects can be felt throughout the home. You can even retrofit your old skylights to the VELUX Active system.

The interface for all this functionality is an app for smartphone and tablet. It gives you full control over settings and parameters for operation of your windows, even away from home. And you can override the system’s algorithms at any time for manual operation.

“At VELUX, we want to meet consumer demand for high-quality products that promote smart, healthy living,” says company representative Laureston Hawley. “Though smart home technology isn’t a new concept, we’re bringing to market a product that allows homeowners to do more than simply control skylights with an app--VELUX Active does it for them.”

Judges agree with the innovation’s usefulness, noting VELUX Active is Simple to use with few components and cutting edge technology...The ability to retrofit older VELUX skylights makes it very accessible…The adaptable algorithms automate the system requiring minimum use.

Congratulations, VELUX! And meet the other Best Window & Door Product finalists:
