    California Faucets. Adding good looks to a usually ignored area of the shower, StyleDrain decorative shower drains are made of solid, forged brass. The patent-pending design addresses consumer dissatisfaction with the small selection of plain, industrial-style drains currently avialbale. With fast water-flow efficiency, StyleDrain is ideal for spa-inspired systemed customized with multiple fittings. The design has no visible screws, and smooth edges make the fitting comfortable underfoot. The square design is also less costly and time-consuming to install, compared with round drains. 800.822.8855. www.calfaucets.com.

    CalStar Products. Two new green masonry products are now available. Fly ash brick (FAB) and fly ash pavers (FAP) incorporate a post-industrial recycled waste material (fly ash) to deliver a durable product that is both aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient to produce. Available in a range of earth tones, FAB and FAP products embody only one-tenth of the energy of a fired clay brick, the maker says, because fly ash is self-cementing and therefore does not require firing. Fly ash bricks and fly ash pavers may help projects earn LEED points. 510.793.9500. www.calstarproducts.com.

    Festool. A new line of Multi-Jetstream-equipped sanders, sanding pads, and abrasives will be available in January 2010. The maker will transition all 6-inch disc abrasives and pads to the new Multi-Jetstream design, which offers higher material removal rates, increases airflow, and results in better dust extraction efficiency than previous designs. The patented technology improves sanding results through the interaction of intake and exhaust air, which results in time and cost savings. The new pads also incorporate an enhanced, heat-resistant StickFix design to extend pad and abrasive life. 888.337.8600. www.festoolusa.com.

    Monzi. Designed to reduce clogged gutters and improve water flow through the gutter system, the Leaf Defier helps defend against foundation failure and other quality issues that can be cause by moisture problems in homes. Unlike other gutter protection systems, the Leaf Defier is an open-cell polyurethane insert specifically shaped and cut to fit snugly inside a gutter. Water flows through the Leaf Defier and into the gutter and downspout while surface debris slides off or blows away. The material is factory-treated with a biocide and fungicide that inhibit mold, mildew, fungus, algae, and moss growth. www.leafdefier.com. 866.795.477

From California Faucets' stylish shower drains to upgraded sanding discs from Festool, the new products in this week's online slideshow (at left) offer features that set them apart from similar products on the market.

You'll also find stylish new door levers from Omnia, GreenFiber's fire-resistant attic insulation, PVC railing from Genova Products, and a focal-point solid-surface double sink from MTI Whirlpools.
