Hand Media International has released it’s May issue of Showhome. This new issue arrives following an inspiring period for the housebuilding sector, with Futurebuild and UK Construction Week placing sustainability, energy efficiency, smart integration, material performance, and long term practicality firmly at the centre of industry conversation.
As the UK residential construction market continues to evolve, the May issue explores the technologies, design strategies, and operational thinking shaping the future of modern homebuilding.
This month’s Big Interview features Charlotte Sargeant from Keepmoat. She discusses her role within the construction industry and her determination to make a meaningful impact in what remains a traditionally male dominated sector.
Showhome also speaks with Philip Ord, CEO of Qvantum UK, for this issue’s Innovator interview. Ord explores the future of energy integration and examines the growing role heat pumps are expected to play within residential development as sustainability targets continue to influence specification decisions across the sector.
The issue’s cover story features Reginox, examining how innovation, durability, and changing consumer expectations are shaping the company’s expansion within the modern home market. Additional contributions come from Ask the Expert partners Beko Corporate and Altaterra.
Across the feature sections, the issue explores the systems and materials influencing every aspect of residential construction.
Bathrooms focuses on how spaces are increasingly being designed around heating integration, water efficiency, and long term performance rather than aesthetics alone. Smart Technology examines the challenge developers face in balancing connected living, installation practicality, and cost efficiency as consumer demand for integrated systems continues to grow.
Surfaces investigates the continued influence of wood, laminate, and stone within specification decisions, while Interior Design explores how open plan living continues to evolve to support both lifestyle expectations and build efficiency.
Lighting analyses the growing role illumination now plays in atmosphere, energy performance, and functionality, while Flooring reflects wider concerns surrounding durability, maintenance, comfort, and homeowner expectation within modern developments.
Finally, Showhome is proud to share further details surrounding the Showhome Awards, the publication’s reader driven celebration of innovation, leadership, and excellence across the housebuilding sector.
