 2010 International Builders’ Show Product Preview: Kohler Archer One-Piece Toilet

Some of the low-flow models we tested for our latest report on toilets were less-than-stellar performers. But water shortages and price increases for water make low-flow toilets and the possible savings they can deliver appealing. Kohler's one-piece Archer toilet uses a canister (instead of the usual flapper) and a wide trap way that the manufacturer claims will improve flushing performance.

<br> Schlage has unveiled an improved rekeying process for its SecureKey door locks, which is designed to let you safely grant temporary access to guests or contractors without having to change the lock afterward.

These photovoltaic solar shingles link together so that the thin cells within each shingle can convert the sun's rays to DC current, which gets channeled to an inverter box that converts it to AC current, according to the manufacturer
