Wall-mounted dryer for clothes in the bathroom: folding, rope, sliding( 28 photos)

The question "Where to dry linen?" Is no longer so acute, because with the development of technology there have appeared many convenient solutions to this problem. More recently, the only suitable place for drying clothes in a city dwelling was a balcony or stretched rope under the ceiling, and today compact and functional dryers can be installed in any corner of the apartment.

The most suitable place for placing the dryer is the bathroom. Firstly, there the hanging clothes will not strike strangers. Secondly, the bathroom is usually equipped with a ventilation system, which helps to get rid of excess moisture faster. Even if your bathroom is very small, there will still be enough space to install this device, since there are models available for sale in small rooms.

Owners of small bathrooms should take a closer look at the wall models of dryers. They are attached to the wall, so a lot of space for them is not needed, and in assembled form, wall dryers are almost invisible. This article is devoted to the existing varieties of wall-mounted linen dryers, the peculiarities of their placement and installation.

Folding design is a modern modification of stretched over the bath ropes on which our mums and grandmothers dried underwear. It consists of two plastic panels with ropes stretched between them. Panels are attached to opposite walls( most often - under the ceiling).When the dryer is not needed, one of the parts is removed from the wall and attached to the other. The ropes are automatically retracted into the panel. Depending on the model, you have 4 to 6 rows of ropes at your disposal.

Pros:

• low cost;
• possibility of installation in small bathrooms and combined bathrooms;
• easy operation.

Cons:

• the maximum load that a folding dryer can withstand is 7 kg;
• for budget models that are not equipped with a pull-up mechanism, ropes can sag under the weight of the laundry;
• a low-quality plastic can crack after just a few drying;
• if the dryer is very high, then it will be extremely inconvenient to hang clothes on it;
• if you hang bed linen on a dryer placed above a font, then, while it is being dried, you can not take water procedures.

The sliding model has a more interesting design. It is made in the form of a metal console, which folds and unfolds according to the principle of an accordion. The elements of the sliding dryer are interconnected by means of reliable rivets. Between the two folding parts are several metal tubes, which serve as holders for the laundry.

Pros:

• compact design;
• strength;
• ability to withstand heavy weight;
• usability;
• can be used as a towel holder.

Cons:

• small size sliding model does not allow you to dry on it a lot of laundry or large things.

An electric dryer is usually used as a heated towel rail, but it can also be used for drying small garments. The electric dryer is attached to the wall in any convenient place of the bathroom. It is a kind of ladder made of metal tubes. The number of bars may vary depending on the model.

Pros:

• extensive installation options;
• if necessary, the electric dryer can be switched off;
• the low temperature of heating protects from burns;
• can be used as a heater.

Cons:

• when installing and operating this type of dryer, it is necessary to comply with the rules for the use of electrical appliances in rooms with a high level of humidity;
• lack of space for drying large items or bedding.

Rope dryers are considered the most economical. You can do this with your own hands, the good stuff( clothesline) costs very little. Rope dryers, as a rule, are quite long, so they can be dried immediately with a few washings.

Steel dryer for clothes usually have a chrome finish, so they look great and are able to decorate the bathroom interior. Dryers made of steel are very durable and reliable. The only difficulty is caring for them - in order to maintain the original shine of chromium, you will have to purchase special cleaning products.

Aluminum dryers are considered a budget option for steel structures. They are also quite strong, but they weigh considerably less. However, the weight of washed laundry, which they can withstand, is also much smaller.

Plastic dryer for clothes, despite the lack of strength, still remain popular. They are inexpensive, have a simple design and light weight. In addition, unlike all other materials, plastic is presented in a rich color assortment.

Wall-mounted ceiling dryer has two mounting options: between two opposing walls and the ceiling. The first option is usually used for installation on a loggia, since there it is problematic to attach a dryer to the ceiling.

As the holders for the laundry, thin metal tubes protrude through which the ropes pass. Holders can be lowered and lifted on the principle of blinds by pulling on a special rope. Since parts of the structure can move up and down, such a dryer is called "elevator".

• Folding dryers can be installed on any vertical surface. If you do not need it, you just need to lift the dryer - it looks like an unusual panel. Throwing away the dryer, you can dry it with towels and small items of the wardrobe.
• Nadvernye - as the name suggests, such dryers are mounted directly on the door. Hooks are used as fasteners, therefore after use the dryer can be removed from the door and put in a secluded place.
• Mobile dryers are also called add-on dryers. They are a folding triangular structure, which is placed on the sides of the bath. The disadvantage of such dryers is that while the laundry does not dry, the bathroom can not be used.
• For batteries - this kind of dryer is fixed to the heating devices by means of a pair of hooks. Since the batteries in the bathroom are rare, such models are most often installed in other premises and are used, mainly, for drying towels.

• Most of us erase all the underwear that has accumulated over a certain period in one day, making several "approaches" to the washing machine. Thus, the dryer is immediately after washing with a few washings. In order not to test the internal partitions on the strength, choose the main wall for the dryer installation, the carrier is the best one. So you will be sure that under the weight of wet linen the wall will not begin to gradually crumble.
• When choosing a place for a dryer, keep in mind that it will be folded from time to time. While the laundry is being dried, you should be provided with an unobstructed approach to all plumbing fixtures and cabinets.
• Try to place the dryer as close as possible to the ventilation system - so the laundry will dry faster, and the excess moisture will evaporate in time. Watch the condition of the fan, periodically clean it.

• Installation of a wall dryer should be started by selecting the most suitable location. About the requirements for placement, see the previous section.
• Read carefully the installation instructions before you start. It contains recommendations for this specific dryer model.
• Now take the bracket on which the structure will be attached, and attach it to the wall in the chosen place. Mark through the through holes the places of future fasteners.
• In accordance with the markings on the wall, drill the required number of holes.
• Fix the brackets to the wall using the set of fasteners that come with the kit.
• Fasten the remaining parts of the dryer to the brackets following the recommendations in the assembly manual.

The most elementary version of a homemade wall dryer is a system of hooks and ropes stretched over a font. To begin with, we purchase all the necessary materials in the economic department( instead of hooks, you can use a thick fishing line or a beautiful wire).Then we do the marking on two opposite walls, to which our dryer will be attached. Note the location of the hooks: they should be on the same line at equal distances from each other. After that, we drill the holes in which we fix the hooks. We cut the rope into the same parts and stretched between the hooks. The rope drier is ready!

In order to build a more capital construction, you will need more free time and tools for working on wood. We will make a dryer from wooden racks with a cross section of 2 cm. First we need to compress the components of the structure: we cut two bars equal to the length of the bath and 6-8 bars equal to it in width. Sanded bars are sanded.

Long bars are located at a distance slightly less than the width of the bath and begin to nail short bars to them. It is short bars and will serve as holders for laundry. We must try to keep the same distance between them, so that the dryer is not only reliable, but also beautiful. A ready-made dryer can be painted in any color, suitable for the interior of your bathroom.
