NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Brand trust is among the most important features people consider when shopping for products for their homes. Today, Lifestory Research released seven product category studies from the 2022 America's Most Trusted® Study. The brands of Pella, Andersen, Thomasville, Corian, Rubbermaid, and Rheem ranked #1 in brand trust within their respective product categories in the study.

"Consumers are faced with a multitude of decisions when shopping for a product and search for signals that will support them in making a decision. Among the most important features that influence a decision is brand trust," said Lifestory Research President Eric Snider.

America's Most Trusted® is a study of people actively shopping or considering a product and have formed an opinion of the brand. The research program marks its tenth year in 2022, in which over 50,000 opinions were collected to identify the brands people trust the most. Trust is measured through the Lifestory Research Net Trust Quotient Score, which determines customers that are trust advocates and trust antagonists. This year the America's Most Trusted® Study measured brand trust in 53 product classes in which the most recognized brands were evaluated by people actively considering a product.

Today the results were released for 7 home design product studies. The studies examine brand trust for front entry doors, back patio doors, windows, countertops, custom closet systems, water heater, and cabinets. The 2022 ranking for each product category is based on people surveyed in the prior year between January and December in the United States who indicated they were actively shopping for the product for their home.
