Built-in ironing board design

The built-in ironer differs from the usual one in that instead of two legs it has a mechanism with a spring unit. Its base is attached to the wall or inside the cabinet itself, on one of its side walls, or in one of the boxes. It is possible both manual and automatic control of the device.

The very mechanism of this design allows the user to fix the device for ironing at any angle, in any position, which is very convenient when processing certain things.

  • Thrust bearing. Protects the floor from possible damage.
  • Spring unit for easy manual operation.
