How to choose an ironing table?

Every home today has such a miracle of modern technology as an iron. In addition to it, a special table for ironing linen was invented - it is also called an ironing board. The adaptation greatly simplifies the life of the hostesses. Let's figure out what are the features of ironing machines, what to look for when choosing and whether it is possible to build such an installation yourself.

The modern industry offers a huge selection of goods. Including ironing facilities.

Most often, standard console-type ironing boards familiar to everyone are purchased. This option is mobile, lightweight, strong enough. Modern boards are equipped with a metal iron stand with non-stick silicone inserts, an iron plug connector, and a cord holder. The size range of standard ironing boards is wide - there are both mini-representatives and rather impressive installations in terms of dimensions. In general, everyone can find a device for themselves.

For those who have a problem with the storage space of the trowel, there is an option to purchase a tabletop board. It is small in size - it is a compact plane with small legs that can be easily installed on any table in the house. This option is also very inexpensive.

For small rooms, another possible installation option is a built-in ironing board. Usually it is fixed in a wall cabinet or installed inside a wardrobe system. On request, it is possible to make an ironing board in the form of a decorative element, when its back part looks like a panel or a picture, but in this case, the cost of the product increases significantly.

Ironing boards in the form of small dressers have become an interesting solution to the stylish design.Their device is similar to a changing table for babies - the ironing surface is located on the chest of drawers and has additional elements that can be folded out on the sides. This way you can adjust the size of the board to your liking. The lower part with drawers serves as a storage function. The design can be different: wicker, fabric, rattan, wood.

Finally, the most modern ironing facilities are ironing tables with vacuum and steam generator, other additional functions. Such devices are expensive, take up a lot of space and are not suitable for everyone. But the purchase is worth the money.

Ironing boards with steam generators are equipped with a fan with multidirectional air flows, which helps to keep the fabric on the table surface more reliably. These tables are convenient for ironing delicate fabrics, synthetic and elastic items. In addition, this board has additional functions for steaming and drying laundry. In a word, such an acquisition is definitely useful and will significantly simplify the housewife's household chores.

As you can see, the choice of ironing machines for the home is wide. The variety of models sometimes leads to confusion. Next, let's look at the nuances that you should pay attention to when buying a table for ironing linen.

The shops have a wide range of ironing boards. There are some criteria to consider when choosing an ironing table.

• The primary criterion is that the ironing board should be light in weight, otherwise it will be difficult to move it from place to place if necessary.
• Pay attention to the strength of the structure: the board should not sway and sag from the weight of the iron in any case.
• The ironing machine should be compact in size for easy movement and storage in a specially designated place. Bulky items may not fit into the closet.

• Not only the general shape of the ironing table should be optimal, but also its width - a properly selected board will facilitate the ironing process for the hostess.
• The surface of the countertop must be made of non-stick fabric, otherwise the consequences can be unpredictable.

• Finally, it is important to consider the possibility of adjusting the height of the ironing table. The ironing table must be adjusted in height according to the height of the user. In addition, it is better if there is a reliable clamp to secure the level.

As for the independent invention of installations with a steamer with your own hands, it will still be easier and safer to purchase a finished product. Assembling a steam generator on your own is difficult and requires financial investments, and no one will give guarantees of the safety of the installation. In addition, such complex mechanisms are more used on an industrial scale, and a standard ironing board is enough for home use.

There is always a competitive struggle for a buyer among manufacturers of any product. Consider the best table options, according to buyers, for ironing at home.

Nika has proven itself well. For many years, the ironing boards of this company have been leading the market, which is facilitated by a wide range of sizes, compact models, low cost combined with a minimum set of additional qualities (metal stand for the iron, cord holder).

Not inferior in the rating and foreign Bosch. The brand has long been distinguished by the quality of the goods produced. The metal base of the installation and the compactness of the table are good news. But the difference between the Bosch ironing table is that it is equipped with additional heating functions and a system for supplying and sucking hot air. There is also a holder for an iron cord, a stand, a storage case.

Philips is next. The size range of ironing boards is wide. There is a unique technology called Shoulder Wing, which makes it easy to iron the shoulders on shirts and dresses thanks to the presence of special supports. There is a child protection function.
