Wet and damp towels used in the bathroom should always be hanging. Only in this way can they dry out between the two applications. This position of towels and other linen is possible if there are hangers in the bathroom. Let's try to figure out how to choose the right attribute.
Features
It is impossible to imagine a bathroom without a special hanger for drying clothes. Usually this is a simple structure that is easily mounted, dismantled, updated, wiped. Hangers for towels and bathrobes can be presented in the form of swivel structures, crossbars, hooks, which are fixed in one position or move along the bar.
Some of the designs can be used not only for towels, but also for drying clothes, Such products include creepers, accordion hangers, wall-mounted sliding systems, bath hangers, and drum structures.
Nowadays, even a special hanger for a hairdryer has been invented, which is a wall design in the shape of a cup, where this household appliance is inserted.
Every year, manufacturers come up with new devices for drying clothes and towels. Some products are thoughtful simplicity. These include, for example, a hanger ladder. It harmoniously fits into the interior of the bathroom and is selected taking into account the style direction. There are more complex designs, for example, a bar that drops to the desired height. The mechanism of operation is quite simple, such a dryer is compact and versatile, but has a high price.
Varieties
You can classify bathroom hangers by the type of mount.The choice of this criterion depends on the size of the bathroom and the specifics of its environment.
It is important that the hanger does not take up much space and can be located near the sink or shower. The following types are distinguished.
Wall mounted
The most common variety. Its popularity is due to its compactness and variety of shapes and materials. Perhaps use in a small bathroom. Convenience of placement is achieved by the fact that the walls in the bathroom are usually free, and you can install the hanger anywhere, for example, near the washbasin, next to the bathroom, near the shelves.
Classic wall designs are ordinary hooks. They are easy to use and install. Hooks are wooden, plastic, metal. Such a holder is fixed with self-tapping screws, Velcro or the vacuum method, that is, a suction cup. If heavy towels are to be hung in large quantities, it is recommended to use self-tapping screws, since Velcro may not withstand heavy weight.
The main advantage of hooks is their simplicity and accessibility, but it is worth mentioning that a towel may not dry out well on a hook. Currently, a wide variety of hooks made in a fancy design are presented in plumbing stores. They can represent faucets, water pipes, shells and other items on the marine theme.
Another popular option for a wall dryer is ring or half ring. Such an attribute also occupies a minimum of space and is very simple to install. It fits well into the classic or antique style of the room, in the areas of Provence, loft, high-tech. The design of such products can be made in bronze or copper.
And if the ring is decorated with silver or golden color, then you can apply it in the modern, neo-classic styles.
Another kind of wall hanger - tubular crossbeam. There are single and multi-row options. For high-quality drying of several towels, a multi-row design is suitable, however, it is impractical to use it in a small bathroom. The hanger-pinwheel is also popular. It allows you to separate several towels so that they do not touch each other, which means that they are better dried. The basis of such a device is several beams, which unfold in different directions.
If the pinwheel is not used, then the crossbars can be connected and thereby save space. Electric driers belong to the same category. This is perhaps the most effective option for thoroughly drying towels and linen. Devices work from the network, they heat up, due to which the material dries quickly and efficiently.
Door
Designs that can be placed on the door, significantly save the space of the bathroom, so they are recommended for use in small rooms. You can also use all kinds of hooks, tubular options or rings.
It is especially convenient to place the hanger on the door if the bathtub is next to the door.
Floor
Typically, structures mounted on the floor are a few crossbars. Models may have convenient shelves for storing hygiene products. In a small bathroom it is better not to use this attribute, it takes up too much space, and is quite suitable for medium and large rooms. By the way, when installing the unit with many shelves and crossbars free space may be more appropriate.
Floor constructions are landline and mobile. So, when using the mobile version, each time you can move the hanger closer to the bathroom or sink - depending on the specifics of the bathing procedures.
How to choose?
When choosing a hanger in the bathroom for drying towels and linen, use the following recommendations.
- There are towel racks with open or hidden type of fastening. More simple - the first option. It is quite reliable, self-tapping and always leaves the fastener location open. For a more aesthetic appearance, try to choose designs with hidden fasteners, in this case, you can not see any screws or holes. Such options include, for example, Velcro or suction cups, however, they are suitable for attaching only single hooks or very light structures, in addition, several items should not be hung on such a holder, otherwise it will constantly fall.
- To make the hanger harmoniously fit into the interior design of the bathroom, buy it along with the rest of the merchandise. In this case, it will perform not only its practical functions, but also aesthetic ones. For example, you can choose a hanger, mixer, barbell, soap dish, cabinets and shelves in the same style.
- Before you buy your favorite copy, pay attention to the gap between the strings or rods on which the laundry will be dried. The distance between them should be at least 7 cm - only in this case things will dry out well.
- Before buying, check the quality of the product and study the specifics of the material of manufacture. The hanger should not leave stains on the towel. In this regard, samples on wood and metal rods with enameled or galvanized coating are particularly effective.
