Clotheslines - How to choose the most suitable one?
Although aesthetically the clotheslines, surely, are not the decorative element that your house needs, in many homes it is essential. Not everyone has the space or the money to replace them with the dryers that are now so fashionable.
In addition to being more economical than this appliance (do not consume light), the advantage of the stalls in front of the dryers is the care of the clothes. High temperatures cause garments to be damaged much sooner than if they dried naturally. Just as there are fabrics that must be washed by hand, not all clothes can be tucked into the dryer.
There are numerous types of clotheslines that can be adapted to your needs and space to perfection. When choosing the one that best suits us, we must take into account two important aspects:
- 1.Where are we going to put it?
- 2.Space available to place it
Types of Clotheslines
In Order at home we have a wide range in which we hope to find the clothesline that best fits what you are looking for.
WALL
On the one hand you can find the clotheslines fixed to the wall, both indoors and outdoors. They are perfect, for example, for balcony walls that you want to take advantage of to have an extra drying room. In addition to being foldable, when you do not have clothes to dry you will recover all the space.
ROOF
Until now only one type of roof rack was conceived, the fixed ones in which you had to juggle up a stool to hang your clothes. With the SOL roof clotheslines this situation will no longer be given. You just have to turn the crank and the ropes will go down to the height that suits you. Then to raise it again you will only have to turn the handle in the opposite direction.
It is Ideal for the elderly or with mobility problems.
STANDING
Finally, we have standing clotheslines. These are the most common when resorting to extra laying space. They are foldable and easy to store. They are also available in many sizes for you to choose the one that best suits your needs
Clotheslines for hanging clothes
Tender clothes is a daily task in any house. Choosing a clothesline that suits your domestic needs and your available space is key to drying your clothes properly.
The keys
- The fundamental choice criterion is the place where the clothes line is used and the space available.
- There are models for all tastes: fixed, mobile, extendable, standing, rotating ... To place on a balcony, in the bathtub, the wall or the ceiling, a radiator ...
Types of Clotheslines
There are different models of clothesline. The choice will depend on a series of criteria. The main aspect that you should keep in mind is where you are going to place it.
1. ACCORDING TO YOUR LOCATION
It can be inside or outside the house.
- The indoor ones have the advantage that they can be used regardless of the climate you make. Thus, you will not be aware of whether it is raining, windy or too sunny, with the risk of yellowing the clothes that it entails. Its disadvantage is that they occupy part of the space of the house. It is advisable to avoid placing them in a transit area or high traffic area. A great option to not have that problem is to install roof rack, widely used in the kitchen terraces, for example.
Inside the indoor clotheslines can be: bathtub, standing (can have wings with more space to stretch), radiator or roof.
- The outdoors. Its advantage is its great capacity, although they also take up more space, characteristics that are not a problem, since when it is placed outside the house, it does not prevent the usual traffic in the home. Its disadvantage is that its use is subject to inclement weather.
If you opt for outdoor clotheslines you can use accessories such as protectors (plastic to protect clothes) and nets for delicate clothes.
Inside the outdoor clotheslines can be: standing, balcony, ceiling or wall.
2. ACCORDING TO YOUR INSTALLATION
You can also make the classification of clotheslines depending on the installation mode. In this sense there are superimposed or anchoring.
- Mobile phones They are superimposed, they can be moved, that is, you can place them each time in a different place. Standing clotheslines, radiators, railings, bathtubs are of this type. These models can be folded, once they are no longer needed, and saved. They tend to have a smaller number of linear meters of clothesline. The most characteristic is that of wings. This type is in aluminum, resin ...
- Fixed They are the anchor. There are models that can be installed to the ceiling and others, to the wall. In both cases, caution should be exercised regarding the weight that the clothes line will support and that will be supported on the roof and the wall. Both surfaces must guarantee the stability and the load that will resist. Within this category there are some that are extensible or fixed -the fixed ones can be for wall, fixed for balconies and fixed for roof-, that can not change structure or that are raised and lowered with a crank.
In the installation, it is important to level it correctly and use the appropriate plugs according to the type of surface where we want to fix it. Otherwise, when you store the clothes, the clothes will slide towards the uneven side.
3. ACCORDING TO THE MATERIAL
Clotheslines can be made of:
- With the squares that make arms to fix them in the wall of painted iron. They are resistant to weight. They are usually painted in tunnels baked with special paints that support corrosion quite well.
- Zinc plated iron. They are zicandos by electrolysis, which is a treatment that consists of subjecting the pieces to a bath of zinc, with the main objective of protecting them from corrosion.
- Stainless steel They are resistant to inclement weather. They are suitable for use outdoors and for homes that are located in humid places such as northern Spain, coastal areas ...
- Plastic. They are lighter so you should keep in mind that wet clothes weigh more than dry clothes before hanging them on the clothesline, in order to not hold more load than they can handle.
- Aluminum. It is a lightweight and durable material in the open, resistant to corrosion
OTHER ASPECTS OF TAKING INTO ACCOUNT
If for lack of space or aesthetics you want a drying rack that is hidden once you do not need it, your possibilities are: standing or extensible. You can both fold them when they have fulfilled their function.
• What clothes are you going to hang?
For underwear, socks or small garments, there are specific models: rotating clotheslines. There are also others, also rotating that have a mobile arm, for the exterior, so that you can hang your clothes from the window and turn the clothesline so that you can reach all the cords comfortably.
• The greater the distance between the different lines, the more drying is favored and the time necessary for the clothes to dry is shortened.
