Heat & Glo Aqueon Hydrogen-Burning Fireplace
If you're looking for a unique conversation piece and have an unlimited budget, why not add a little fire and water to your home? The Heat & Glo Aqueon is the world's first fireplace fueled by — water. It creates fire from water by using an electrical current to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Since it burns hydrogen, no harmful byproducts, such as carbon monoxide are produced, so no special sealed glass or venting is required.

CraneBoard Board & Batten Solid Core Siding
Maintenance-free siding has a tendency to look the same: great for a colonial or Cape Cod, but not for a wider range of architectural styles. That's changed with this board-and-batten look-alike. The versatile, insulated siding can be used as an accent to add dimension and charm to one part of a home's exterior, or used on the entire house. Besides low maintenance, it offers energy savings and excellent impact resistance. cranesiding.com; $4-$6 per square foot, depending on location
Fypon Urethane Balustrade Systems
This urethane balustrade system can help you create a regal architectural look for your home, without the maintenance nightmare of elaborate wood railings and turned balusters. Used to define entryways, roofs, and decks, this product provides the charm of Old World craftsmanship without any worries about rotting, warping, splitting, or consumption by voracious insects.

Moen Outdoor Sill Faucet
Moen offers the first outdoor spigot to deliver both hot and cold water. The single-handle design provides the convenience and ease-of-use of an indoor faucet, yet enables you to make the water coming out of the end of the hose just the right temperature for washing the dog, filling the baby pool, or washing your car. Not only is the product easy to install, it's a frost-free spigot and includes a cartridge that reduces scalding risk.
