People 'seek energy-efficient features in bathroom quotes'

People 'seek energy-efficient features in bathroom quotes' Those re-fitting their houses are seeking energy-efficient features when it comes to getting bathroom quotes.Americans seeking bathroom quotes are choosing energy-efficient products and features, according to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Design Trends Survey.

The survey found water-saving toilets to be the most popular environmentally-friendly feature being sought by those remodelling their bathrooms, Deseretnews.com reports.

Such toilets use just 1.6 gallons per flush, compared to about five gallons per flush of a standard toilet.

"This represents a dramatic saving - something like 100 gallons per day per household," the website claims.

The second most popular feature sought in bathroom quotes was radiant heated floors.

These use a low voltage system to heat the floor tiles but do not consume a lot of energy.

Also on the list of favoured features were curbless showers and LED lighting, which is extremely energy-efficient, mercury-free and lasts as much as ten times longer than incandescent light bulbs, according to the website.

Back in February, Matthew Piner, retail analyst at Verdict Research, said that bathrooms are likely to be a "big area of growth" for DIY stores this year, which may be of interest to those seeking bathroom quotes.
