Compact Wall Mounted Ironing Board FAQ
The compact wall mounted ironing board is a hassle free small ironing board that can save you some space in a laundry room or anywhere where you need to do a little bit of ironing but you don't need the hassle of setting up a standalone ironing board and then figuring out where to store it. The ironing board folds down against the wall with an easy to use single click mechanism and measures just 1-1/2" overall from the wall when fully folded down.
The compact ironing board comes fully assembled and ready to install on a wall or other suitable background surface. It is available with different colour backing plates. The backing plate and hinge are made from mild steel and finished in either a silver zinc plating or a powder coated coloured finish. The moving parts are made from zinc plated mild steel while the board is a furniture grade birch plywood covered in a metallic silver cotton cover with protective coating on the operational side.
We have a range of different colour powder coated backing plates and hinges as follows;
- White (RAL 9016)
- Balck (RAL 9005)
- Red (RAL 2002)
- Light Green (RAL 6027)
- Orange (RAL 2011)
- Yellow (RAL 1023)
- Pastel Green (RAL 6019)
- Grey (RAL 7046)
The coloured versions above all come with a built in iron rest that can be folded out to hold the iron while you are moving a garment around on the board. The silver zinc plated edition is our base model and does not include the iron rest.
The compact ironing boards come with a variation of our patented hinge system where a continuous strut bar is fixed into a holder in the wall plate and it then slides through a sliding channel and locks in place at 90 degrees to the wall.
An easy one-click release mechanism releases to strut bar and allows the ironing board to drop down to the wall.
The average height of an ironing board is 35" from the floor. When the ironing board is folded up into the service position the actual level of the board will be sitting slightly above the top of the wall plate, approximately 1/2".
The minimum mounting height should be 33-3/4" from the floor to the top of the backing plate which will leave approximately 1/8" clearance between the tip of the board and the floor.
The ironing board can overlap a 1/2" skirting board up to 5-1/2" tall. Where the skiting board is thicker than 1/2", the ironing board will not hang at exactly 90 degrees to the floor, but it should be hardly noticeable with a skirting thickness of 3/4".
