to ironing the laundry process will not become a real test of patience to the limit of endurance, and the hostess, a good iron is not enough.Need more and ironing board, which would be useful in all respects.How to evaluate, what to look for when choosing, we will understand in this article.

Material

countertop. better to get a metal board - and because of the weight, and because of the durability.Typically, aluminum or "stainless".The product of laminated plywood is cheaper, but it is much more massive, and taking into account external factors (temperature, evaporation during ironing) after a while it just "lead".Align such glued "assembly" has not come out.

legs. preferably aluminum because of their small weight.To board does not leave scratches on the floor or metal traces, they must have special nozzles (nozzles, nozzle) of plastic or rubber goods.

size and configuration

working surface. Now you can find a variety of shape, length and width of the board.If the classical model parameters (in "cm") 110 x 120 x 30 or 38, the products in the "modern" style is slightly larger.As a general rule, 148 x 45 and 140 x 40. It should be remembered that the hostess had to work with different things - children, adult.So you should choose the best option - ironing board, in which one end is narrowed.

legs. Note how far they extend beyond the table top in position.There should be guided by an optimal combination of compactness of the products (when folded) and its stability during use.

height - an important point.Many current models this option is "tuned".But practically realized in different ways: continuous adjustment (best option) or speed.In the latter case, there are several fixed heights (from 2 to 4), which can be raised / lowered countertops.

better buy model, in which the legs are regulated smoothly.

Design

stationary.Such boards "rigidly" attached to any basis.For example, a wall, and are arranged as needed.As an option - embedded in a specially assembled for their wardrobe, which is very practical, because the product is not to be kept in sight.But in this case, the hostess will be "tied" to a place that few uncomfortable.

possible to establish such boards inside the wardrobe or wall.It is perfect for small spaces (small apartments), but will have the furniture or order, or design and assemble their own hands, although the latter does not afford to every owner.

Mobile. It is more usual, a portable version.Ironing can be arranged anywhere.The only problem is - where it then clean?

«complex». name, of course, purely conventional, but are reflected accurately.It is a chest of drawers, the top cover which is an ironing board.

Case

His coloring material and workmanship - the hostess to choose from;Tips are not necessary here.And yet there is one.Some manufacturers cover the surface has blotches, which are used for cleaning the working part of the iron.If it is to the same and a removable, it is always possible to bring in proper form - wash.

additional "services»

stand - under the iron. As it is, whether it will be convenient to work with?It happens, and a special device for ironing narrow things (leg, arms and so on).It is better, if it is removable, then you can put it only as needed.

Shelves, brackets.Let immediately "store" ironed things (to hang the shirt) on the spot.

Now any device, accessory has at least some "bells and whistles".Manufacturers like competing, and we do not cease to be surprised.This is just another of the unusual can be an easy ironing board?Those interested in all sorts of innovations details next "surprise" appears if you want to find, especially since almost every day.

terms of the feasibility of using it is worth noting the presence of steam steamer.It can help you organize a steaming, drying things, facilitate the process of ironing "difficult" fabrics.This functionality is really useful.But everything else - at the discretion of the reader.

Council

necessary to pay attention to how connected all the moving parts.If they are riveted, it is better to "pass."This design eventually cranky, and just tighten the fasteners as a nut, will not work - have to disassemble and re-rivet.And if the legs of aluminum, then this is not so simple.
