Residents of multi-housing units often deal with limited space and long waiting times when doing their laundry. They don’t want to spend valuable time waiting for their neighbor to finish washing their clothes. While washers and dryers are an important part of multi-housing units, they can take up a lot of space. In this blog post, Ed Brown Distributors explores ways stacked washer extractors can benefit the residents of multi-housing units.
Optimizing Space with Stacked Washer Extractors
Space tends to come at a premium with multi-housing units. Saving space is helpful, especially in shared areas like laundry rooms often are. When multiple families try to wash their laundry at the same time, the process may become delayed, causing bottlenecks and irritation. The traditional washer/dryer combo placed side-by-side can take up a lot of space, which can be inconvenient, especially in a small room. You can save space by installing a stacked washer extractor instead. A stacked washer extractor/dryer combo may have roughly half the footprint as a conventional side-by-side washer/dryer setup, depending on the type of equipment.
Enhancing Efficiency: The Advantages of Stacked Washer Extractors
Stacked washer extractors can improve efficiency over side-by-side laundry equipment since they generally have smaller footprints than laundry units placed beside each other. This may allow for more laundry equipment to be placed in an area.
Washer extractors help remove moisture from the laundry being washed, reducing drying times in dryers and saving energy in the process. Residents may not have to wait as long to do their laundry.
Cost-Effective Laundry Solutions with Stacked Washer Extractors
While stacked washer extractors tend to be more expensive than regular laundry equipment, this doesn’t mean they can’t be cost-effective. Since washer extractors save energy by reducing the time the laundry spends in the washing machine, you could save money on your energy bill. Over time, these savings can add up.
Convenient Laundry Experience for Residents: Stacked Washer Extractors
Stacked washer extractors can make laundry more convenient for residents of multi-unit housing. Here’s how they can help:
Space Savings
Stacked washer extractors enable better use of space, freeing up room for residents and potentially allowing for the placement of more laundry equipment.
Time Savings
Since stacked washer extractors may allow for more laundry equipment to be used at one time, residents can save time when doing their laundry. Additionally, washer extractors also help dry clothing so clothes spend less time in the dryer.
Flexible Washer Extractor Design Options for Multi-Housing Units
Multi-housing units have a range of layouts. People may live on one or multiple stories, and two or more families may share a unit. Depending on the unit’s design, the laundry equipment may be placed in different parts of the building.
Washer extractors come in either hard- or soft-mount versions. The placement of the equipment depends on the type of mount it has. Hard-mounted (a.k.a. ridge-mounted or solid-mounted) washer extractors must be attached to a concrete slab, a thick concrete floor, or a steel base. In contrast, soft-mount ones have a shock-absorbing system and a base, allowing for a greater variety of placements. It is important to remember that even soft-mount washer extractors must be positioned in a place that can support their weight. While hard-mounted washer extractors offer greater performance, they also have fewer options for placement. Soft-mounted washers can potentially be used on second and higher floors, while hard-mounted washers generally have to be placed in basements or on the first floor of a building. If not properly placed, hard-mounted washers can damage buildings.
