LX Hausys America Introduces Additions to Panel Systems & Hard Surfaces at KBIS

March 3, 2026  by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Designer Weekly, Industry   

BORTE is debuting with three distinctive collections and its Complete Product Program, a suite of edge bands, films, profiles and foil that perfectly coordinate with the panels. Each element of the program allows for a seamless and consistent design throughout any space while offering greater design diversity and a premium quality look. All BORTE edge bands are precisely color-matched to the panel colors and are available in PUR/EVA and Zero-joint edge types in widths of 22mm, 41mm and 45mm.

The new BORTE colors span three distinct collections. The Reserve Collection, The Hue Collection, and the Origin Collection.

“A premium panel can greatly enhance the look and feel of a kitchen, bath or living space, instantly adding value and personal satisfaction,” said K.T. Kang, business director of LX Hausys BORTE Panel. “Expertly designed and featuring our SMR technology, these collections will immediately show designers, homebuilders and homeowners how our BORTE panel system can elevate any space.”

In addition to the panel systems, LX Hausys America also introduced four new HIMACS solid surface colors. Designed for commercial and residential interiors, the new colors reflect the stunning visual looks needed for today’s modern environments ranging from hospitality and wellness areas to retail and workplace settings. Expanding the HIMACS Calacatta and Terrazzo collections, the new colors also bring superior durability, easy cleanability and dynamic thermoforming capabilities, allowing designers the freedom to create the expressive surface designs they envision.  

Joining the HIMACS Calacatta Collection are Calacatta Full Moon and Snow Moon, and Terrazzo Ulivo and Nuvola join the Terrazzo Collection.

All colors are backed by LX Hausys’ 15-year limited warranty. 

HIMACS is a durable, nonporous solid surface material made from a blend of acrylic, natural minerals and pigments. Seamless, repairable and hygienic, HIMACS is ideal for a wide range of interior applications, from countertops and wall panels to custom furniture and commercial surfaces. Its thermoformable properties enable creative freedom in design, while a wide palette of colors and patterns—including natural stone looks, solid hues and terrazzo—offers extensive aesthetic versatility. HIMACS surfaces are GREENGUARD and NSF certified.

Finally, LX Hausys is introducing six new VIATERA quarts colors.

“We’re excited to debut these six new VIATERA colors at KBIS 2026,” said Mike Morici, vice president of surfaces sales and channel management at LX Hausys America. “Each design reflects the evolving preferences of today’s designers and homeowners, offering a thoughtful balance of natural inspiration, advanced surface technology and timeless style across the VIATERA brand.”

Three of the six new VIATERA colors introduced for 2026—Solea, Ocean Ridge, and Midnight Ember Brushed—are manufactured at LX Hausys’ state-of-the-art quartz surface facility in Adairsville, Ga. Solea and Ocean Ridge are also BABA compliant, meeting the requirements of the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act. These U.S.-made colors qualify for use in federally funded infrastructure projects.

Two of the new colors, Perla Verde and Crystallo Vera, feature TrueView™, LX Hausys’ next-generation, high-resolution digital infusion technology for VIATERA surfaces. TrueView delivers the realism of natural stone, deeper visual continuity and enhanced design flexibility while maintaining the durability and sustainability of quartz. VIATERA colors with TrueView technology feature thru-vein design (also known as full body).

Winter Grove, Perla Verde, and Crystallo Vera feature NeoQ™, a next-generation technology that incorporates up to 90% post-consumer recycled content while delivering the same hardness, durability, and non-porous performance as premium quartz.

The VIATERA brand is defined by its classic and timeless aesthetic, inspired by the earth’s natural splendor. Consisting of seven collections offering a wide variety of hues and patterns for any kitchen or bath application, VIATERA surfaces contain up to 93% quartz—one of the hardest minerals on earth. Providing exceptional durability, high resistance to stains and ease of maintenance, all VIATERA colors come with multiple independent certifications verifying their environmental and health benefits. These include Declare, Red List Free, GREENGUARD, EPD and HPD certifications.
