PAGE 18, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER '2.4, 1986. WHITBY FREE PRESS -New plumbing fixtures add a touch of class- "Today, plumbing products are talk- ing on a new appearance too,"' says Don Burgess, Vice President - Sales, Peerless Faucet Company. "Consum- ers realize that a small investment in plumbing fixtures can add style and improve the overai look of 'a bathrom or kitchen." Peerless Faucet Company, manufact- urer of do-iî-yourself fitucets, is now bringing European styles t0 America with a new line called Darnixa1t. "Very few manufacturers retain only basic lines anymore. Most have added options, decorative touches, finishes and new colors 10 keep up wiîh consumer demands. The hard- ware industry has an entire new look:' Burgess says. If you haven't been 10 your local hardware store or home center lately, il might be fun to take a look. Besides an intriguing display of Ilsucets and accessories, you'll find that such items'- as wall coverings, decorative fix- tures, innovative showerheads and brass accessories have become part of the typical hardware store sel- ection. jt It used 10 be that a homeowner would visit the local hardware or home center store only when he needed 10 fix a leaky fitucet. But, limes have changed. Sophisti- cated consumers recognize that style doesn't have 10 stop in the living room. Today, fashion is an important state- cluding the kitchen and bath. The kitchen is the family gathering place, so homeowners are making il comfortable by adding fireplaces and other options. Baths are becoming more leisurely areas as well. Since these rooms are getting the attention they deserve, the once predictable hardware store has now become a bou- tique for contemporary plumbing products. Though most customers of home improvement stores are do-it-yourself- ers, they are still willing to spend a few extra dollars to enhance their homes. With this in mind, many manufàcturers have responded with a broad range of decorative merchandise, "*designer" collections and lhncy finishes - while maintaining an affordable price point.
