Each year, TNAH is diligently constructed in the host city of the show to demonstrate the latest innovations in residential architecture, construction techniques, energy efficiency, and cutting-edge building products.

1. Henry Blueskin VP100 Self-Adhered Housewrap

To achieve a superior HERS rating and effective weatherization, TNAH 2025 is wrapped in Henry’s Blueskin VP100 self-adhered housewrap, which provides an airtight, watertight and vapor-permeable seal for the home’s entire structure.

Key benefits include:

  • Increased Energy Efficiency by 30% to 50% over traditionally fastened housewraps
  • Extended exposure to weather for up to 150 days without having to be covered with exterior cladding
  • Can be used with a wide range of exterior wall cladding products
  • Controlled  seal around nails
  • Improved Vapor-permeable trait allows warm, moist, interior air to escape (breathe out) to prevent mold, rot and decay from trapped moisture
  • Installed horizontally or vertically, with easy installation

This innovation in residential wood frame wrapping achieves 95% drainage efficiency, while eliminating uncontrolled air leakage to reduce energy costs. The sustainable, easy-to-install peel and stick adhesive system reduces installation time, while improving air quality in the home by helping to reduce mold proliferation in damp climates.

2. OmegaFlex TracPipe CounterStrike Flexible Gas Piping

Flexible gas lines constructed of corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) by OmegaFlex represent a novel approach to gas piping. Contrary to traditional steel pipes, which can break over time and can be cumbersome during installation, OmegaFlex TracPipe PS II CounterStrike gas lines are safer and easier to install.

“CounterStrike” refers to TracPipe’s patented flexible gas piping system, specifically designed to enhance lightning protection for corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) used in natural gas and propane installations, and is known for its ease of installation and safety.

Unlike steel piping, Omega Flex piping allows contractors to make easier, precise fittings for areas that require 90 degree angles, and provides options for fitting horizontally and vertically with fewer cuts and joints at transitions. Omega Flex gas lines can be used to supply natural gas, propane, or liquefied petroleum gas and are an effective option for many home appliances including clothes dryers, cooking ranges and fireplaces.

Always use a certified professional for installation, as lines that are not installed, bonded, grounded or maintained correctly can leak or become a combustible fire hazard.


 

3. Carlisle SealTite Pro Spray Foam Insulation

Carlisle SealTite PRO Open Cell spray foam insulation is a light-density, water-blown polyurethane insulation designed to enhance a home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and air quality.

As an open-cell foam, it has a sponge-like structure with interconnected air pockets, giving it a lower density, which makes it ideal for filling in hard to reach and irregular spaces, such as found in ceiling and attic spaces.

Mark Schlachter, Superintendent at Sun West Homes — the designer and builder of the last two TNAHs — remarked that Carlisle’s spray foam was key to the exceptional HERS rating that they achieved with last year’s TNAH.

Carlisle SealTite Pro offers the following advantages:

  • Versatility: Works well in wide-ranging applications—walls, ceilings, floors, attics and crawl spaces — by easily conforming to odd shapes where batt insulation struggles. Its ability to expand significantly upon application—up to 100 times its liquid volume —enables gaps, cracks, and irregular spaces to be thoroughly filled. Application involves a two-component system (A and B sides). Once the spray is cured, it’s safe and odorless.
  • Energy Efficiency: By sealing air leaks, it stabilizes indoor temperatures, reducing reliance on HVAC systems, and thus, reducing energy bills.
  • Soundproofing: Its soft, porous structure absorbs sound waves, making it ideal for reducing noise between rooms, as well as from outside — ideal for media rooms and noisy streets and neighborhoods.
  • Comfort: Eliminates drafts and cold spots, enhancing year-round livability.
  • Sustainability: Uses water as a blowing agent, minimizing environmental impact, and supports energy conservation.
  • Proven Quality: Contractors praise its ease of application that delivers consistent spray patterns and uniform coverage. Maintains integrity over time, resisting settling and shrinking.

    SealTite PRO’s balance of performance, eco-credentials, and brand trust makes it a premium choice for homeowners seeking lasting value in insulation.


     

    4. Schluter DITRA Flooring System

    Underlayment for ceramic and stone tile floors is extremely important to protect moisture-sensitive substrates, such as plywood and OSB (oriented strand board), especially in bathrooms and kitchens.

    Schluter DITRA & DITRA-XL are specifically designed for ceramic and stone tiled flooring and provide the waterproofing layer that protects the subflooring material. DITRA also serves as an uncoupling layer and vapor management layer that can withstand moisture from beneath the tile covering.

    In other words, DITRA prevents tile movement by allowing in-plane movement between the substrate and the tile, thereby reducing tile cracking and delamination of the tiles surface.

    Schluter KERDI provides protection for tiled showers, bathtub surrounds, residential steam showers and any other areas where water or vapor will be present.

    DITRA-HEAT is a floor warming system that is added to the DITRA membrane to provide year-round comfort for ideal indoor-outdoor living.


     

    5. Clopay VertiStack Avante Garage Door System

    Clopay, known for its premium garage doors, introduces the VertiStack Avante Garage Door System in its residential debut in TNAH 2025. This unique aluminum and glass garage door stacks sections into an inconspicuous overhead box, eliminating the need for unsightly overhead tracks, exposed hinges, and cables.

    Daniel Coletti, the architect of TNAH 2025, and his design team had first considered creating a custom solution for this important feature of the home until discovering the impressive versatility and approach of the ViewRail’s “floating” solution.

    With an open riser design that gives the illusion of floating up and down the stairs, ViewRails proprietary FLIGHT Cantilever model gives TNAH 2025 an unobtrusive, yet functional sophistication.

    The beauty is in the hidden stringer and hardware supports that give the stair treads the appearance of jutting out from the walls or floating on air. The look is completed with Viewrails glass railing system to allow light to pass through from the ample glass walls and windows for unobstructed views.

    8. Broan NuTone AI Series Fresh Air Systems

    New developments in building insulation cause homes to trap moisture, dust and stale air, creating a petri dish of toxins that can cause health issues for residents. Tighter building envelopes result in homes that are less impervious to outside air, but industry leader Broan-NuTone understands the need to keep indoor air quality at its purest.

    The Broan AI Series Fresh Air System with its airflow auto-balancing feature, VIRTUO Air Technology, protects the home with a system that self-adjusts continuously, as it monitors and adjusts the air pressure for a perfectly balanced CFM, (cubic feet per minute) value, a measurement of air purification efficiency.

    10. Elvoron Home Elevator by Garaventa Lift

    Elvoron home elevators are known for their blend of practicality, safety, and elegance, making them an excellent addition to luxury residences. With standard car sizes up to 18 square feet (and custom sizes up to 21 square feet), a variety of finishes (wood, glass, and stainless steel), and safety features like certified elevator interlocks, the Elvoron combines reliability, style, and functionality tailored to a wide-range of individual needs and tastes.

    It’s easy to comprehend the attraction for an elegantly reliable home elevator, such as an Elvoron, when considering daily tasks like transporting laundry, groceries, bath supplies, and bulky household items across multiple floors. However, a quality home elevator is also an incredibly valuable feature that is well-suited to address the growing population of aging residents and homeowners throughout the United States.

    With the continued growth in aging-in-place and multigenerational households, home elevators are a vital amenity to consider when investing in quality guest accomodations within your home. An elevator will also serve as a critical safety net for family members dealing with prolonged illnesses or mobility challenges.
