September 2026 Issue
The September issue of Showhome looks at the specification decisions shaping new homes, from the technology increasingly built into developments to the materials and products that determine how those homes perform over the longer term.
Our Big Interview with Andrea Harvey of CEDIA considers the value of earlier collaboration between designers, developers and technology integrators. As connected technology becomes a more established part of residential design, bringing expertise together sooner can help create homes that feel cohesive today while remaining adaptable for the future.
Technology also features prominently in our Innovator interview with Ragıp Balcıoğlu, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer of Beko Global. Following a visit to the Beko Cassinetta site, Bethany Kellock explores changing housebuilder expectations and the design, technology and sustainability considerations influencing premium appliances.
Across our features, the emphasis remains firmly on practical specification. Kitchens examines where developers should invest, where savings can reasonably be made and which details buyers are most likely to notice. Flooring considers the growing importance of moisture management and subfloor preparation, while heating and energy efficiency explores how combined specification can simplify installation and support better performing homes.
We also examine bathroom surfaces, looking at the balance between appearance, moisture resistance, maintenance and installation. Our white goods and appliances feature considers the growing role of connected appliances within the wider smart home, while windows and doors explores daylight, outdoor connection, thermal comfort and long term performance.
Elsewhere, Reginox takes centre stage for our cover story, alongside product spotlights from Scudo, HiB, Quooker, Vicaima, Wren Contracts, Designer Contracts and Urban Cooling.
With UK Construction Week Birmingham approaching, September brings together products, perspectives and practical considerations for housebuilders preparing for the months ahead.
