The honor is even more meaningful given that more than 1,800 readers and designers voted online for their favorite brands and manufacturers in 23 kitchen and bath categories.

Specific criteria were assigned to each category to select the winners including craftsmanship, design/style, finishes, construction quality and durability just to name a few. Blanco, Poggenpohl and Top Knobs all exemplify high standards of design, quality and innovation and were well deserving of their respective awards.
