Everyone remembers their childhood nightlight, that small beacon of light protecting the bathroom from monsters and dragons. At Georgetown Development we want our families to feel protected and safe in their homes from any creatures that go bump in the night, which is why we really like the newest bath fan from NuTone.

The LunAura bath fan features an LED nightlight that encompasses the bath fan to produce a soothing soft blue light that provides enough lumination during the night while maintaining a calming atmosphere for sleepy homeowners. NuTone is known for their eco-friendly and stylish bath fans and the LunAura is no exception. The 100-cfm fan includes a main light that’s 36-watts, is available with a round, square or diamond light panel, is Energy Star-Rated and operates at just 0.7 sones, which just louder than a whisper.

NuTone has a long line of bath fans to fit any bathroom design. The LunAura brings a modern look to any custom bathroom renovation or new design.

It’s summer in Washington, DC so you know what that means; heat, humidity and a nice cool shower. But with new Water Sense guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are your cold showers coming to an end?

As water conservation becomes increasingly more important for many areas across the U.S., and because showering accounts for approximately 17 percent of residential indoor water use, low-flow showerheads (or other conservation-minded plumbing products, for that matter) are not going away.

So, does this mean that your high-blast shower has to come to an end? Not necessarily. Click here to view some new, water saving shower heads from manufacturers all over the world. At Georgetown Development, we understand how important it is not only to install products that compliment each home design but are also in compliance with DC regulations.
