This Old House Names The 100 Best New Home Products of 2011

New York, NY – The November/December issue of This Old House features the “TOH
Top 100,” a list of the 100 best new home products of the year. The editors hunted
high and low to find the most unique, helpful, and coolest home products in seven
categories: Kitchen, Bath, Tools, Building Products, Outdoor Living, Home Tech, and
Finishing Touches. Each winning product is also labeled with icons such as Money-
Saver, Easy Upgrade, Perfect Solution, Eco-Friendly, Splurge or Made in the USA.
Also included are editors’ picks for the most useful apps in each category (p.81).

“This isn’t just a list of new products–they’re products with real value,” says Scott
Omelianuk, Editor of This Old House. “We worked hard to find things that were truly
unique and would make a difference to our readers and their families, either
through long term savings or ease of use or products that just plain surprised us–
like the 50 or so that bear the Made in the USA icon. We think there’s a huge value in
that.”

The 2011 list marks the first annual “TOH Top 100” and includes items for people
who love old houses and appreciate new and interesting ways to fix them up.
Winning products include insulation made of recycled plastic bottles, a faucet that
turns on with a simple wave of your hand, an automatic floor cleaner, paperless
wallpaper and a deck whose boards require no fasteners.

A complete list of the “TOH Top 100” can be found at www.ThisOldHouse.com/top100 and on newsstands, beginning November 4th.
