Retractable ironing board - convenient equipment for small apartments

Ironing board - the equipment is unusually comfortable, allowing the landlady to cope with ironing clothes and clothes without unnecessary problems and hassle. Today such designs of the most different types are produced. For those housewives whose apartments do not have a large area, it is simply an ideal option to become a sliding ironing board. What is the difference between similar equipment and how to use it?

Such boards are usually built into the wardrobe. In particularly small apartments, the construction can also be installed in the kitchen cabinet. Such models differ in compactness and in that the table top folds in half. A very small sliding ironing board can be mounted even in the drawer of the cabinet. However, more often this equipment is installed in any of the offices. Still, a sufficient area of the ironing surface is an important condition for the convenience of using this equipment.

The sliding ironing board in the cabinet can be installed in the upright position. According to the research, the most convenient are boards measuring 130 cm long and about 40 cm wide. In addition, with a vertical installation method, among other things, in the cabinet you can additionally mount a shelf under the iron, which is also very convenient. However, installation of such a board is possible, of course, only in a large enough cupboard.

The sliding ironing board should, among other things, meet basic safety requirements and be of good quality. When buying it is worth checking all the fasteners. They must be strong and reliable. The reeling equipment will not only be inconvenient to use, but also unsafe.

When buying it is worth paying attention to such an important detail as the coating of the work surface. The ironing board is often covered with a cotton cloth. During ironing, this material prevents overheating of things and their wrinkling. However, somewhat more convenient can be considered boards with a special synthetic non-stick and waterproof coating. It is worth buying, of course, this is the model. But you need to take into account that it is more expensive than the one that is covered with a natural cloth.

It is best if a sliding ironing board is mounted in a cabinet or kitchen cabinet so that when working it is at the level of the mistress's thighs. Thus, it is possible to make the operation of this equipment much more convenient. Of course, during ironing from time to time somewhere you need to put an iron. This question should also be thought in advance - before installing the board in the cabinet.

The disadvantage of this home equipment is only one - quite a high cost compared to the usual type of boards. However, the fact that this type of construction will not occupy absolutely any place in the room makes its application in apartments of a small area undoubtedly expedient. Especially in view of the fact that such boards can be very convenient to use.
