The Nationals is one of the building industry's most prestigious awards programs, recognizing the best in new home sales, marketing and design. During a rigorous four-day judging process, the winners were selected from more than 1,200 entries by a panel of 13 industry experts. The awards were officially presented in early 2025 during a ceremony at the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.

"We're delighted and proud to have Newpoint Concrete Roof Tiles and Eldorado Stone featured in these award-winning homes," said Eric Miller, vice president of sales for Westlake Royal Building Products' stone and roofing solutions brands. "These recognitions from NAHB underscore that exceptional building materials can marry durability and curb appeal to create homes that stand out in the marketplace.”

Westlake Royal building materials were featured in three award-winning projects by KTGY, a design firm specializing in architecture, branding, interiors and planning. These projects are located in the Shawood at Sommers Bend neighborhood in Temecula, California:
