This Old House has named Metrie's Then & Now Finishing Collections to its 4th annual "The TOH Top 100," a list of the 100 best new home products of the year. The editors spent months testing and examining thousands of products to find the most distinctive, helpful, and innovative new home products in seven categories: Kitchen, Bath, Tools, Building Products, Outdoor Living, Home Tech, and Finishing Touches. Featured in the November/December issue, each winning product is labeled with icons such as Money-Saver, Easy Upgrade, Eco-Friendly, Splurge, and Made in America.

"For the first time, selecting trim and interior doors is easy, fun and inspirational," says Alexandra Marshall, Metrie's Vice President of Marketing who led the development of the new products. "Mouldings and interior doors in each of the Collections are professionally designed and perfectly coordinated, making it easy to select products by style, and to ensure that the elements fit together and are correctly proportioned when installed in the home. The result is a custom millwork look for a fraction of the cost."

"Every year, there is an endless list of new home improvement products introduced to the marketplace. For the annual 'The TOH Top 100', we sift through them to identify the ones that will actually save our ten million readers time and money while enabling them to fix up their homes with greater ease and style," says Editor Scott Omelianuk.

"The 2014 list is full of products that wowed us for their innovation and their ability to create breakthroughs in their categories," adds Omelianuk. "We are confident that our readers will be as excited by them as we are."
