Built-in Ironing Board Design

The built-in ironer differs from the usual one in that instead of two legs it has a mechanism with a spring unit. Its base is attached to the wall or inside the cabinet itself, on one of its side walls, or in one of the drawers. Both manual and automatic control of the device is possible.

The mechanism of the structure under consideration allows the user to fix the device for ironing at any angle, in any position, which is very convenient when processing some things.

Advantages and disadvantages of construction

Externally compact ironing machine is no different from its usual appearance. Of course, any item that is built into the furniture will have a number of positive features:

• In a cramped, small room, most often there is not enough space for basic furniture. At the same time, an ironing board built into a wall or cabinet will be very helpful.
• This design is universal - it can be adapted to any piece of furniture.
• The ironing device takes up very little space inside the cabinet. When folded, it takes from a force of 10 cm wide.
• Such a detail will not spoil the appearance of the room and be striking either you or your guests.
• This design is very easy to use. Effective sliding mechanisms make it possible to silently extend the board simultaneously with the opening of the cabinet doors. Human physical activity is reduced to a minimum.
• Using this design for ironing is quite safe. She stands motionless on the surface of the floor, securely fixing herself.

Immediately pay attention to the disadvantages of such a trowel:

• The cost of any built-in furniture is always significantly different from the usual. This also applies to our assistant, as it comes with a retractable mechanism.

Important! The user does not have to order an ironing board built into a cabinet with a sliding mechanism, although this will be much more practical and rational. If the family has a cabinet where there is no such device yet, it can be mounted at any time. The main condition is the correspondence of the sizes of these two objects.

Varieties

Ironing boards built into the wall differ from each other in several ways, which are the material of manufacture, dimensions, plane of arrangement and other elements. Let's consider each of them separately.

Materials

Material of which the surface for work is made:

• Most often, the ironing surface is made of multilayer plywood.This option is inexpensive and very practical. In addition, it is distinguished by its durability and resistance to moisture.
• Metal mesh or profiled metal sheet based. Such a design has unlimited service life, it also differs in its lightness and high cost.

Important! Each model of the built-in ironing device should be equipped with a cover that improves the quality of ironing.

Plane where the trowel is located:

• The base of the structure is installed vertically. When it unfolds, the board takes a horizontal position.
• There are models that first recline downward by 90 degrees, and only then turn upwards with the working side.

Important! Many models are able to extend in several planes at the same time, thereby increasing usability.

Dimensions

Let's talk about the dimensions. When you select the dimensions of the ironing board, pay attention to the internal dimensions of the cabinet. Most often, built-in mechanisms do not differ in large dimensions, but there are exceptions. The most compact designs are most often installed inside drawers, while others are mounted to the wall.

Equipment

An ironing board built into a cabinet or other surface may additionally include other elements that simplify the process of folding and unfolding:
