The Victorian Kitchen Maid Clothes Airer
clothes airer is a high quality, long lasting ceiling airer. It is made
from solid cast iron airer ends, with Redwood pine slats, and
will dry a full load of laundry overnight when pulled up to the ceiling
in a warm room. This makes it very economical in comparison with the
tumble dryer that may be built into your washing machine.
A Victorian Style Ceiling Airer cuts the cost of drying your
laundry
When
mounted securely to the ceiling, the largest model of the Victorian
Kitchen Maid is capable of drying up to 30kg of washing. The saving in
energy from this method compared with the cost of using a tumble dryer
means that the Victorian Kitchen Maid Clothes Airer can pay for
itself in less than 12 months. And this saving extends to the carbon
footprint you offset, - a tumble dryer contributes 0.15 Tonnes
of
CO2 emissions each year.
The Victorian style Clothes Airer
is about the same width (
it is 38cm
wide) as the Traditional style airer so it can still fit in
tight spaces. The end pieces are more curved though so
it takes up 30cm from
ceiling to the bottom of the airer
when fully hoisted. The benefit of this is that the gap between laths
is greater so you can fit thicker items between them - folded towels
for instance. The
Airer
comes with four laths with lengths of between 1.2m (4ft) and
2.4m (8ft) - please choose below.
The wooden slats are professionally finished and smoothed over so as
not to snag on your washing.
The manufacturer, Cast in Style, is FSC
certified so you can rest assured that the laths come from sustainable,
renewable sources. This means that for every tree that is cut down to
make your airer at
least 1 new one is grown to replace it, keeping the forests alive.
Unlike most similar clothes driers of this type, the
cast iron end pieces are available in eight different colours (please
select below): black, white, green, blue, burgundy, lacquer, ivory, and
pewter. This range of colours was developed specifically to match the
Aga range of colours.
What do you get "in the box"?
Your Victorian Kitchen Maid Clothes Airer will be supplied with:
- 2 x cast iron ends,
- 4 wooden laths,
- a single pulley,
- a double pulley,
- 10m rope (option for 15m - choose below),
- a cleat with screws and
- installation instructions (which
can also be dowloaded by clicking here)
- 5 year guarantee.
The
Airer is supplied as standard with Nylon wheels in the pulleys. You can
choose to upgrade (see below) to deluxe cast iron wheels. The
manufacturers, Cast in Style, have designed the pulleys with tough,
steel “detachable” screw threads that they 100% guarantee will
not
break. If you move house or want to relocate your airer, you detach the
pulleys from their screw threads and Cast in Style will send
you
replacement screw rods to allow you to reinstall your clothes airer, at
no cost. Contact us if you need assistance with this.
The 10 metre rope supplied is high quality organic cotton lined,
lifelong nylon rope which is much
more durable than traditional jute rope. In fact it is so strong that
it is used on boats and yachts. The rope is guaranteed for 5 years. So
even if you load your clothes airer up to the maximum
weight you can have complete confidence that the rope will not break.
We also give you the option of 15 metre rope if you have a high or
sloping ceiling and need extra length (please select below).
