Ironing board Today is not just a stand under the iron, but a high-tech and multifunctional device. Progress does not stand still, and in the evolution of ironing boards there was a huge jump.
Requirements
Today, the requirements for ironing boards consist of a variety of parameters.
- The width and length of the ironing surface is the area of the crying board. What it is more, the less movements need to be made to smooth bed linen, curtains, tablecloths or ironing clothes.
- The weight of the ironing board should be not too small, but not too big. Too light design will have a small stability, which will reduce its safety. If the weight is big - it will make it difficult to fold and storage.
- The material from which the ironing surface is made is presented today with a wide spectrum - from chipboard to perforated metal. The minus of the wooden canvase is that it absorbs moisture and lights up with time. Plus, metal is ease and practicality, and the perforated metal passes through itself the surplus of the steam and remains in pristine form for many years. Today there are ironing boards with covers of heat-resistant plastic.
- The lining on the legs perform two functions at once: eliminate the gliding ironing board and protect the floor covering from damage. Can be made of rubber or plastic.
- Compactness in folded form is an important point that will affect the storage conditions: if the design takes up little space, it will be conveniently stored in any apartment and even in a wardrobe.
- The material coverage also matters. Natural heat-resistant fabric protects from the burning of the iron, burning the cover and at the same time capable of passing the air.
- The presence of a wire bracket allows you to raise the wire above the ironing board to avoid confusion, eliminate the folds when ironing and extend the service life of the iron.
- The presence of a vioraner facilitates smoothing the sleeves on clothes without extra effort.
- The height adjustment of the ironing board allows you to iron with the maximum comfort of a person of any growth, in some boards even have a position for ironing sitting.
Additional features
In some modern ironing boards there are unusual functions, which are turned on and disconnected by one click of the button.
- Vacuum. On the working surface of the board from the bottom side, 2 fans are built, which work in such a way that the air is drawn through the perforated ironing board and attracts light tissues. With such a function, it is easy to iron delicate fabrics, such as silk and chiffon, because the air flow helps to straighten all folds and avoid sliding fabric.
- Heat. The working surface of the ironing board may be heated if necessary. This feature is very convenient in the off-season and helps to easily and quickly dry underwear without much effort, and also makes it easier to sip - the surface of the board remains dry and warm.
- Subdivide. Built-in fans guide air flow up through the working surface of the ironing board. Thanks to this, it is easy to smooth out the pockets and ironing the seams.
