Once again, the "in" box on my desk is beginning to fill up with a stack of brochures describing interesting new products.

I've selected four products to review in this latest roundup: an insert panel to improve the thermal performance of insulated concrete forms (ICFs); a new wall system for manufactured stone veneer; and two new water-resistive barriers (WRBs).
