Features of ceiling dryers for underwear

In addition to the usual linen ropes, you can dry linen in three ways: with wall, floor and ceiling structures.

• Wall dryers are usually laid out and are quite convenient, but they have a serious drawback: in addition to the fact that they require a lot of space, they are also not able to withstand a large load.
• Floor devices are distinguished by endurance, durability and spaciousness, in addition, they are transportable - it is convenient to rearrange them in any part of the house. However, they take up a lot of space, but almost all free will take on the balcony.
• Ceiling dryers on the balcony will be the most rational solution. Such devices have almost no shortcomings. Their main advantage is a convenient location. Considering that there is usually always a lack of free space on balconies and loggias, ceiling dryers hold the championship due to the fact that they are high, under the ceiling, and do not interfere with the use of the place rationally. In addition, due to the fact that the warm air rises up and good ventilation rises and above, the linen dries faster. Also, due to the fact that drying is under the ceiling, there will be no problem with high humidity in the room. And the last advantage of such designs is their compactness. They will not interfere with movement, and besides, they will not be striking, especially when folded. The only drawback of such dryers is not so easy to install. The mount is complicated not only by the fact that the work is carried out on the ceiling, which is not particularly convenient for a person, but also by the fact that it is necessary to fix the structure in the concrete slab.

Varieties of ceiling dryers

The following table shows the main types and models of drying structures, their manufacturers and basic characteristics.

How to choose a drying drying

What needs to be taken into account when choosing a design for drying clothes? In addition to the cost, which is usually the first thing buyers pay attention to, there are many other points that should not be forgotten. Further, seven such factors are examined in detail.

1. One of the most important criteria for choosing a ceiling dryer is the material from which it is made. Manufacturers provide a range of dryers made using various materials. Each of these materials has both advantages and disadvantages.

• To begin with aluminum. Tubes are made from it, on which linen is directly hung, in some models of drying. The advantages of aluminum are its strength and sufficient service life. However, he needs constant staining, because due to his property he will soon become unusable and, moreover, will spoil the linen. However, the one who does not bother the need to paint the dryer can acquire aluminum, especially since it is inexpensive and has no other shortcomings.
• Wood. Wooden dryers look beautiful, fit perfectly into the interior, but have a serious drawback. The wet environment is dangerous for wood, and with frequent use of such crossbars, they will very quickly lose their external dignity and cover with cracks, and later they can even swell.
• Steel. Steel, like aluminum, is subject to rust, and it is not a matter of ordinary paint. In this case, the best and most popular option is already ready -made spraying on steel crossbars. Tubes with such spraying are able to withstand the negative effects of moisture.
• Stainless steel. This material is the best due to the fact that it can withstand considerable loads, having high strength, and also resist the corrosion. Stainless stainless steel dryers are most durable and practical, but they are quite expensive.
• And finally, plastic. The most short -lived and fragile material is not recommended to purchase dryers from it, because they very quickly lose their appearance and, moreover, will constantly break, since they cannot withstand the necessary mechanical pressure.

2. If you choose a device for drying linen for a glazed balcony, then do not forget that the device from above should not interfere with the windows to open (if they open inward). In order to make sure of this, you can measure the distance from the top to the window sash, as well as the place that the drying dryer will occupy and compare them.
3. When choosing a ceiling dryer in the bathroom, it is necessary to take into account that usually in the bathrooms there are not so many places as on the balcony, and therefore it is necessary to choose a more compact model. The most popular options are small -sized telescopic dryers.
4. It is also necessary to pay attention to what weight the design is designed for. Moreover, this will not only affect how much linen you can wash at a time. In the event that the pipes in length are at least one and a half meters, the model should be designed for a load of at least fifteen kilograms. By the way, long crossbars are more convenient to operate.
5. Be sure to pay the most serious attention to what material the fasteners are made in the drying structure. These details will be subjected to the greatest pressure, so it is very important that they are made of durable material. Plastic mounts are a very serious drawback of the entire structure, as they significantly reduce the service life of the product. For more than two years, they will not last at least, the fasteners will get sick, or even burst. Therefore, the best option would be to have all the fasteners that will be subjected to loads made of metal.

6. This moment concerns Liang Sushilok. In their lifting mechanisms, cables are used, and it is important that they, again, are metal cables with metallic, will have several times more strength, greater durability, and besides, will not stretch. Trings from nylon will serve well, but only if their thickness is three millimeters or more.
7. We should not forget about the fasteners for drying devices. In most cases, not very long self -tapping screws and plastic dowels come to the design. Such mounting can only be enough if the dryer is not too massive and the length of its crossbars is no more than one meter twenty centimeters. If we are talking about a larger model, then the acquisition will not be superfluous to install high -quality anchor bolts.
8. And finally, you need to be careful when choosing a manufacturer. One of the indicators of the company and the quality of the goods is the instruction for it. If the instructions are not translated into Russian, or even worse, it is printed manually or rethured, then it becomes obvious that this is not a particularly reliable company or a distributor. Manufacturers with a good reputation produce their goods with high -quality accompanying documents, and necessarily in Russian.

You can buy a ceiling dryer for linen both on the Internet, on trusted sites, and in ordinary household goods.

How to install a design for drying on the ceiling

First you need to think about where to place a ceiling dryer for linen. To do this, you need to find the most suitable room for this in the apartment or in a private house. The most popular places for linen dryers are the balcony, loggia and bathroom. In any case, it is important that the dryer does not interfere with the movement, does not attract excessive attention and looked good in the interior without knocking out of the general style. In addition, if possible, it is better that the laundry is dry in a warm and ventilated room, on an uninfilled balcony in the winter season, the washed things will freeze. In the situation when the balcony is not heated, it is possible to place the dryer in the bedroom or living room, the main thing is that the ceiling is not stretch or drywall. A great option can be a dressing room, of course, if it is.

It is worth making sure that when the dryer is laid out, it will not interfere with the opening of windows and doors. In addition, sometimes it happens that linen is not squeezed very carefully, for example, with a delicate mode or manual washing. In such a situation, it will be better to cover the floor with an oilcloth to preserve the carpet or flooring.

So, when the suitable place is chosen, you need to prepare the necessary tools. They play an important role in how successfully the process of installing drying equipment will pass. For mounting, you need to correctly calculate the dimensions and parameters, so you need a measuring tool. Also, you can not do without a perforator or a drill. The manual drill will fit to make holes in a wooden floor, while on other surfaces it is more reasonable to use a punch and nozzles of six and eight millimeters. Next, it is necessary to stock up on dowels and self -tapping screws that correspond to the nozzle of the punch, and in addition, screwdrivers or screwdrivers.

When the tools are ready, you can start assembling the dryer. Here is a detailed algorithm, how to install a ceiling dryer for linen:

1. We extract the purchased drying for clothes from the box and unpack it, laying out each of its details separately.
2. By applying the latches to the ceiling, we plan places for further fasteners. It is important that the brackets are from each other at a distance equal to the length of the crossbars. An error of five ten centimeters is allowed, but no more.
3. After the marking is made, drill holes in the ceiling using a punch. Insert the dowels into the finished grooves. It must be taken into account that it is better not to regret fastenings, so as not to get a broken dryer later, which could not withstand the load from heavy wet linen.
4. After the previous work is done, it is necessary to fasten the roller clamps.
5. Now we choose a place for placing the mounting bracket. It should be placed on the wall, not hiding in an inaccessible area. An ideal option will be a territory at an altitude of about one and a half meters from the floor.

When the installation of the structure is completed, it is necessary to check how reliably it is fixed. In order to do this, you need to, dropping down each crossbar, load them with linen as much as possible, and then raise them to the ceiling. In the event that the installation is made qualitatively, everything will go smoothly, without shifts and without creaking sounds.

As for the care of the adaptation during its operation, it all depends on what material the dryer is made of. If it is made of stainless steel, then there will be no need to wipe the tubes after removing underwear from them. If the material from which the dryer is made is less durable, for example, plastic, aluminum or something else, it will be better to take care of it.

Given these basic recommendations, you can choose a suitable model of a ceiling dryer for a balcony or bathroom, which will greatly facilitate life, last a long time, free the additional space in the apartment and at the same time will not spoil the interior.
