K+BB is excited to announce the winners of its coveted Product Innovator Awards for 2014. The five judges had the challenging task of choosing the lucky winners out of 140+ innovative kitchen and bath product submissions.

Awards went to both the Kitchen Product of the Year and Bath Product of the Year, and four products were given an Honorable Mention. For the second year in a row, we have included a Judges Picks category for the additional products the judges felt were worthy enough for recognition.

Kitchen Product of the Year: Dekton by Cosentino

Judges love the technology behind and the planet-friendly nature of this great ultra-compact surface option, which is composed of recycled glass, porcelain and quartz. It can be used for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications including flooring, cladding, staircases, exterior facades, kitchen countertops, bathrooms and pool surrounds.

Bathroom Product of the Year: Kohlers Touchless Toilet Technology

The judges are impressed that this modern technology is now available to the residential market and that there is a retrofit option offered. Homeowners also have the option to upgrade an existing toilet to a no-touch flush with an easy-to-install retrofit kit; they can remove the existing flush lever and replace it with a color-matched hole cover if they so desire.

Honorable Mentions - Discovery IQ 48 Dual-Fuel Range by Dacor This Discovery Range is the first to feature Dacors iQ Cooking App and the functionality of an Android tablet. The Remote iQ Cooking App allows home chefs to control the range via their smartphone or tablet from any connected location.

- Trough 4819 by Native Trails Judges chose the Trough 4819, which measures 48-in. x 19-in. x 5-in., because it is a good response to current trends, it is functional and beautiful for many applications, and they applaud the company for good green practices.

- Blue Chilled and Sparkling by GROHE This sleek, easy-to-use, instant filtered water system impressed judges because it saves 1,200 plastic bottles of water per household of four each year, making it better for the environment and the health of the homeowners.
