In a modern city apartment there is not much space where you could dry the washed laundry. As a rule, a balcony is used with this function, where the most convenient and functional ceiling dryer for clothes is installed. The instruction that comes with this design describes in detail how to attach it correctly.
The choice is huge, there are many benefits
The modern market provides a wide selection of different models that allow you to dry clothes. As a rule, designs are wall, ceiling and floor. The latter are most often folding, that is, they are installed only for the duration of drying the laundry, and then assembled. However, when disassembled, they take up a lot of space, so they will not be suitable for small rooms. Wall options are made in the form of sliding models, which are also bulky and impractical. As a result, a ceiling dryer for a balcony is the most optimal option.
Design features
Most models are metal or plastic tubes coated with enamel on top. This minimizes the risk of rust or surface corrosion. As for the size of the tubes, they can be different - from half a meter to two meters. It is very simple to use such a ceiling dryer for a balcony. With the help of a rope, the tubes go down, clothes are hung on them, after which it is just as easy to lift the structure up, where things will dry. Since there is more warm air above, the laundry dries much faster.
What to look for?
Ceiling clothes dryer - ideal for a balcony, but you should choose it wisely. Pay attention to the following:
- Model. It should be selected depending on the room itself, where it will be mounted. Strings in dryers can be from two to seven meters in length, and its width - up to 180 cm. The number of rods also varies. The more of them, the more linen will be able to hang.
- The mechanism of work. The most convenient to install and use are telescopic models, the most durable are sliding, the most economical are rope.
- Material. Ceiling clothes dryer for a balcony, coated with aluminum and a special anti-corrosion compound, is lightweight and durable. Coated steel is heavier and more reliable. The plastic dryer is also of high quality, but it must be operated correctly.
- Manufacturer. The products of the companies Gimi (Italy), Arno, Fbs and Leifheit (Germany), Brabantia (Belgium) are considered the highest quality. For example, dryer “Elevator” (ceiling) Gimi brand is one of the most economical models, which is characterized by ease of installation, compactness and low cost.
Of course, it is more profitable to give preference to high-quality European brands, rather than cheap Chinese ones, which do not withstand heavy loads and constantly break. Plastic products are cheaper, but metal dryers are a more reliable option. It is best to choose stainless steel accessories - this way you can protect yourself from possible problems during the operation of the product.
