Principia Stat of the Week: Showroom figures

Lumberyards and one-step distributors continue to add showrooms to the retail layout within their locations to meet the needs of contractors and DIY homeowners who want to “touch and feel” the products. Nearly 75% of all dealers now have showrooms, typically displaying the product categories that fit their product line focus. According to LBM distribution companies surveyed by Principia, the top five product categories displayed are windows/ doors, millwork, decking, siding, and railing in 2019.
