High Tech, Low Touch

Incorporating Smart Technology for a Cleaner Home

Early on in the pandemic as disinfecting supplies were disappearing off shelves, customers began to look for creative ways to clean their homes. Fortunately, for years manufacturers have looked for ways to incorporate smart technology that multitasks to increase functionality, improve sanitation, safety and more. Product specialists at Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting started to get calls about touchless fixtures, bidets and smart lighting immediately.

Hands-free and voice-activated technology in the home was first seen as a luxury and many times consigned to early adopter, the tech-savvy, individuals with physical limitations or those aging in place. Now, it is becoming the norm and available to everyone. As one showroom consultant reports, “When my mom first got her touchless faucet, she would tell me every time I saw her how much she hated it because she didn’t know how to use it. But now that she’s figured it out, she loves it. Now you should see her when she’s at someone’s house who doesn’t have one.”

Instinctive and smart lighting solutions, smart keyless locks, touchless faucets, hands-free flush automation, automatic lid opening and self-cleaning features are becoming expected. They appeal to a customer’s sense of wellbeing regardless of health limitations. For more information, please visit fergusonshowrooms.com to find the location nearest you.
