A buying guide"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A ceiling dryer is the simplest way to dry laundry in a small flat: it does not stand on the floor, and once the laundry is hung it goes up under the ceiling. Before you choose a model, answer three questions \u2013 where it will hang, how much laundry you dry at once and how you will install it.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Measure the space<\/h2>\n<p>The dryer is made of rods hanging on cords that run through two roller brackets screwed to the ceiling. The rods hang parallel to each other, so you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>length<\/strong> \u2013 space for a rod (e.g. along the bathtub or a balcony wall); the rod should be slightly shorter than this,<\/li>\n<li><strong>width<\/strong> \u2013 space for all the rods side by side,<\/li>\n<li><strong>a wall<\/strong> within reach for the height adjustment holder (recommended mounting height: about 1.3\u20131.6 m from the floor).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Choose the rod length<\/h2>\n<p>The most common lengths are 140, 160, 180 and 200 cm. In a typical bathroom, rods of 140\u2013160 cm usually fit over the bathtub; in a longer bathroom, a laundry room or on a balcony \u2013 180\u2013200 cm.<\/p>\n<h2>3. How many rods?<\/h2>\n<p>How much laundry you can hang depends on the total drying length \u2013 the number of rods times the rod length:<\/p>\n<div class=\"avcat-guide__table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Rod length<\/th>\n<th>4 rods<\/th>\n<th>5 rods<\/th>\n<th>6 rods<\/th>\n<th>7 rods<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>140 cm<\/td>\n<td>5.6 m<\/td>\n<td>7.0 m<\/td>\n<td>8.4 m<\/td>\n<td>9.8 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>160 cm<\/td>\n<td>6.4 m<\/td>\n<td>8.0 m<\/td>\n<td>9.6 m<\/td>\n<td>11.2 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>180 cm<\/td>\n<td>7.2 m<\/td>\n<td>9.0 m<\/td>\n<td>10.8 m<\/td>\n<td>12.6 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>200 cm<\/td>\n<td>8.0 m<\/td>\n<td>10.0 m<\/td>\n<td>12.0 m<\/td>\n<td>14.0 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>For one or two people 4\u20135 rods are usually enough, for a family with children \u2013 6 or 7. Mind the load too: in alexvalex dryers each rod holds up to 2 kg of wet laundry, and it is best to spread the weight evenly.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Check how it is installed<\/h2>\n<p>The roller brackets are screwed to the ceiling and the cord holder to the wall. The spacing of the brackets depends on the rod length. Before buying, check that the ceiling takes wall plugs (concrete, or plasterboard with suitable plugs) and that there are no cables where you drill. You will find the full step-by-step guide in the article <a href=\"\/en\/ceiling-dryer-instruction\/\">ceiling dryer installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Colour and look<\/h2>\n<p>White dryers blend into a light bathroom ceiling, black ones suit modern interiors and dark accessories. When raised under the ceiling, the dryer does not get in the way.<\/p>\n<h2>What to watch out for<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not buy a rod longer than the space between the walls \u2013 the brackets have to fit.<\/li>\n<li>Do not overload the rods \u2013 wet bedding weighs more than you think; hang it over several rods.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a gap from the lamp and the extractor fan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Measure the space, choose a rod length shorter than it, and match the number of rods to the amount of laundry. All variants \u2013 from 4 rods of 140 cm to 7 rods of 200 cm, in white and black \u2013 are in the <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/dryers\/ceiling-dryers\/\">ceiling clothes dryers<\/a> category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A ceiling dryer is the simplest way to dry laundry in a small flat: it does not stand on the floor, and once the laundry is hung it goes up under the ceiling.
