2010 – Broan-NuTone®,

The Hanley Wood Brand Use Study surveyed more than 10,000 builders,
builder-developers and general contractors to construct a profile of
brands used by the building industry. In the Bathroom Ventilation/Fans
category, Broan and NuTone fans were rated as top brands in quality
and claimed the top spots in both brand recognition and most used brands, being
30 percent more recognizable and used four times more often than their
nearest competitor. NuTone was voted as a top brand
in product quality and achieved the leading spots in brand recognition
and frequency of use in the Central Vacuum category.
The ADEX awards is the largest awards program recognizing superior
product design in the opinion of those at the top of the design industry.
Each year, over 400 companies submit over 1,000 innovative new products
for consideration. The products are judged by an anonymous panel of
professionals representing a cross section of the design industry.
