NuTone Ironing Centers Increase Storage Space

Among the new products exhibited at PCBC earlier this summer, NuTone’s Ironing Centers provide increased storage space, installation flexibility, high-quality ventilated metal construction and many options and accessories.

The Deluxe and Standard models feature shielded lighting, automatic power controls, a safety switch that automatically shuts off electricity when the door closes, a silent timer that controls the power supply, a power-indicator light and a convenient built-in outlet.

The Deluxe model also includes a 180-degree swivel board to accommodate small spaces and can be adjusted to different heights to provide maximum comfort for the user.

“These innovative features give consumers what they have asked for — silent timers, improved lighting, space for irons (even while they are hot) and extra shelf space for spray bottles and other accessories — needs that are not currently being met by other products on the market,” said Karen Formico, marketing manager, ironing centers, Broan-NuTone.

All the Ironing Centers are available without a door, allowing home owners to choose a custom door — unfinished oak raised panel, unfinished birch flat panel, white raised panel or beveled panel — or create a door to match their own woodwork.

The Basic and Standard Ironing Centers are also available with white raised panel or simulated oak raised panel doors as a complete package.

All doors include a magnetic catch to keep them safely closed when they are not in use.

With the option of recessed- or surface-mounted installation and the ability to mount the doors on the right or left, NuTone Ironing Centers give home owners the flexibility to place the unit where it is most convenient — master bedroom, laundry room, kitchen or family room — saving time and space without compromising their décor.

All units include a cover pad and door hinge kit and come pre-assembled and ready to install. Optional accessories include a sleeve board and surface mount collar. Replacement cover pads and hinge kits also are available.

Door dimensions are 16 and 1/16 inches wide by 50 inches high, and the unit requires a rough opening of 14 and 1/8 inches wide by 49 and 1/4 inches high by 3 and 7/8 inches deep.

Headquartered in Hartford, Wis., Broan-NuTone is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Leading Suppliers of NAHB.
