Ceiling dryer for clothes on the balcony

With the problem of drying clothes, apartment residents have always faced, and each solved it in its own way. Someone was hanging wet things on batteries, someone thought of pulling on clothes lines in the corridor for a while, or doing an outboard design from the balcony.

All these methods have a huge number of shortcomings, because of the increased humidity in the dwelling, the fungus and mold begin to breed, and the linen hung outside the balcony is rubbed against its outer walls, and even the not very conscientious neighbors from above can shake out their mats on it.

The way out was found - after all, there was a modern ceiling drier on the balcony, with which you can easily cope with the laundry, and it will not interfere with anyone. In addition to the model, mounted directly on the ceiling for balconies and loggias, you can purchase sliding and folding structures that are attached to the wall under the ceiling and folded do not occupy precious square meters.

How to choose a ceiling dryer for a balcony for linen?

An important point is the size of this design, because the length of the balconies is different for everyone, as well as the drying needs - someone is drying the mountains of bed linens for a family of 6 people, and someone lives by himself, and he will have enough of a minimal size.

Very comfortable ceiling dryers, which are called liana, they are installed on the balcony or loggia. They are produced by various import companies - German, Turkish and Chinese. The latter produce the most budgetary products, while the former are leading in our market.

But the first thing you should pay attention to when buying a dryer is the material from which it is made. It can be plastic, which is suitable for drying light things in small quantities, aluminum and metal - the most durable and hardy of all the presented materials.

Products made of plastic are short-lived and can break if they are overloaded. Aluminum tubes are already stronger and do not break under the weight of the laundry, but can bend. But metal, in plastic braiding, will be the best option for hanging out a lot of laundry to dry.

The dimensions of the ceiling drier for laundry on the balcony may differ from each other drastically. You can choose a very miniature design that is only half a meter in length, but it is unlikely to dry a heavy veil. Such a dryer is suitable for light small things.

The optimal length of the dryer is about two meters, almost the same size as standard balconies. But when there is free space, you can install a three-meter dryer, only consider that the longer the length of such a design, the greater the likelihood of its deformation, if the dryer is made of plastic or aluminum.

The most common ceiling dryers for linen on the balcony are sizes from 60 cm to 100 cm. These are perfect for a small family or with two balconies, when on one you can arrange a long dryer for bed linen, and on the other a small one.

Dryer mounting

Before buying make sure that the ceiling, in which you will attach the dryer for laundry, it allows. It will take a drill, and possibly a perforator, depending on the material of the overlap. The very "creepers" on which all five bars drop down, are fixed in a corner with the help of a plastic hook and ring.

If you plan to dry heavy linens, then choose a reliable and sturdy construction. In addition, the retaining ring must be tightly screwed into the wall so that it does not break out under the weight of the wet laundry.
