(ARA) - If the trend in upgrading the bathroom to a bigger more tranquil area continues, it won’t be long before high-end bathrooms replace formal dining rooms. Options abound for the bath including steam saunas, air bath therapy, tubs with lighting and fragrances and sinks and toilets at every price level. To maintain that tranquility, powerful, super quiet exhaust fans that homeowners actually enjoy (rather than disconnecting) are being used. Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company based in Secaucus, N. J., markets a broad line of super-quiet, energy efficient advanced ventilation fans.
We hear it all the time. Homeowners looking to upsize but NOT crazy about the idea of moving. They love their roots -- especially when it involves children and the thoughts of changing schools and neighborhoods. Even to the extent of foregoing their dream of moving to a bigger home, they are thinking twice. Research is showing that the numbers for remodeling are on the rise. While there are numerous reasons for this, the comfort of a loved neighborhood is high on the list. Especially if overall the house is mostly what the individuals or family needs and wants, and with certain improvements they can make it even more suitable to their needs. Owners of existing homes are more focused on the interior spaces in their home. The inconvenience remodeling sometimes causes seems a small price to pay to make the changes in the home you are in when compared to the financial expense and emotional stress of actually moving. The remodeling sector is being influenced by the aging of the average U.S. home. These older homeowners will spend to replace old, worn out materials with updated styling and features.

Bathroom remodeling remains one of the top projects on the list of home improvements. In fact, according to a major industry association, in 2004, for the first time ever, bathroom remodeling was the number one home improvement project. This comes as no surprise for homeowners of older homes where bathrooms tend to be small, cramped spaces and are not designed with the intent to spend much time in them. However, with the popular trend for spa-like bathrooms, new technology and more energy efficient products, homeowners are taking a good long look at their bathrooms to turn them into their own quiet retreat.

“Homeowners are taking indoor air quality, peace and quietness to the next level as they transform their bathrooms into a more spa like environment,” explains Larry Hershkowitz, marketing manager for Panasonic Ventilation Fans. “Panasonic bathroom fans don’t sound like low flying jets that are so loud you want to do nothing but turn them off!” says Hershkowitz. The newest Panasonic introduction is its WhisperGreen ventilation fan, a fan with noise levels previously thought to be unattainable and up to 400 percent more energy efficient than minimum ENERGY STAR requirements. With its Smart Action sensor switch, it now makes it easy to avoid mold, mildew and stale air in the bath. The WhisperGreen Fan plus Smart Action motion sensor makes it ideal for bathroom spot ventilation needs. This sensor feature will automatically activate whenever someone enters or exits the room, leaving no need to manually turn the fan on or off. The super quiet Panasonic line of Exhaust Fans can be mounted on the wall or in the ceiling and come with many options including motion sensors, timers, lights, heat and night-lights.

Bathroom remodeling can be as simple as a coat of paint with new accessories. But, even small bathrooms can be transformed into quiet, calming spaces with today’s energy efficient products.
