“This Old House Top 100” Reveals Year’s Must-Have Innovations
Time Inc.’s This Old House named Oil Bond from Crown Latex Agent to its fifth annual “This Old House Top 100,” a list of the 100 best new home products of the year. Each year, the editors spend months scouting, testing, and culling countless new products for the home to identify the most distinctive, useful, and innovative in seven categories: Kitchen, Bath, Tools, Home Tech, Building Products, Outdoor Living, and Finishing Touches.
“Oil Bond is a new paint additive that cleans and deglosses the surface in one easy step, so you don’t have to sand or prime before you paint,” says Amber Livesey, Latex Agent Marketing Manager. “Do-It-Yourself painters are discovering that painting with Oil Bond saves time and mess, with better final results when repainting cabinets, woodwork, and furniture. Oil Bond was heavily researched before our launch, and we are honored to be in the ranks with such an elite group of products in the This Old House Top 100.”
“Thousands of new products are launched every year, and our job is to highlight the ones with staying power—those that are in some way brilliant and will make our readers’ lives better,” says Editor Scott Omelianuk.
