  • Low profile contemporary design
  • Overall width is 35cm
  • Available in 5 classic colours.
Clear

Additional options (optional)

Why would I need a 15m rope?

This is useful when you are positioning the clothes airer away from the wall or if you have high ceilings. In this case it’s advisable to also buy an additional double pulley.

When do I need an extra double pulley?

When you are positioning your airer in a larger room and away from the wall. The extra pulley will keep the rope close to the ceiling and provide a good angle down the wall to the cleat. Please see diagram on assembly instructions.

How do rubber grippers help?

These prevent your wooden slats from sliding. They are easily fitted to each end of every wooden slat by pushing them up to the metal rackends. You can even put them on the inside of the rack ends so they are less visible. Available in clear and black.

Wall Brackets?

Fix to the wall instead of the ceiling with our bespoke wall brackets. You would normally require two brackets but three if an additional double pulley is needed for larger rooms. For more information see the Wall Bracket TAB under the ADD TO BASKET.

Wall Bracket

Wall Bracket:

  • Fix to the wall when ceiling fixing is not possible (as with suspended ceilings in modern homes)
  • Strong wooden ready assembled brackets
  • Suitable for our Popular and Clothesmaid airers
  • Your pulleys will be pre-fitted to these brackets when you order a Clothesmaid or Popular airer.
  • These brackets do NOT include wall fixings. This is because walls vary and require different fixings.
  • Normally you would use two bracket’s but you may need a third if you have an additional double pulley.
  • Find these in ‘Accessories’ here

Wall Bracket Technical Specification:

  • Bracket Height: 33cm
  • Bracket Projection: 31cm
  • Bracket Width: 7cm (with 4 screw holes)
  • Wall Clearance: 10cm (from the wall to the inside slat)
  • Fully Retracted Height: 22cm for Popular and 28cm for Clothesmaid airers. This is helpful for door clearance.
  • Wall Fixings Not Included: This is because walls vary and require different fixings. Ideally fix to solid masonry walls. We don’t advise fixing to stud walls unless noggins or suitable fixings can be used. If in doubt consult your builder/handyman.

  1. Nigel Smith, Cheshire –

    Compared to some of the pricier models this is brilliant value. Yes it’s a simpler design, but the quality is still clearly there — proper cast iron pulleys, smooth rope, sturdy slats. Does exactly what it should and looks better than I expected. Very happy with the purchase

  2. Robert Thornton, Herefordshire –

    Really pleased I found this. I went with black to match our kitchen hardware and it looks very stylish. Despatch was prompt and the packaging was eco-friendly which I appreciated. Installation was easy enough for me to do solo. The courier company had a delay getting the order to me hence not being able to give 5 stars.

  3. Anna G, Brighton –

    I put off buying one of these for ages thinking it was a luxury — it’s absolutely not, it’s a necessity. Our flat doesn’t have outdoor space and this has transformed laundry day. Nothing is left cluttering the bathroom or bedroom anymore. It looks smart, the quality is there, and the pulley is smooth and easy to use. 10/10

  4. Sam Dean, Staffordshire –

    A lovely product that does the job, looks great and makes washing less of a chore.

  5. Jan B, Stockport –

    Great product, high quality, friendly customer service and arrived within 4 days. Thank you

  6. B. H, Hampshire –

    We are thrilled with our airer. I have recommended you to many friends already. Pleased we went with the wall mount block too, it looks so smart. B 🙂

  7. Frank G, Derby –

    I’ve got two of these in my utility room and i wouldnt be without them. Fast delivery too.

  8. A Stephens, Ireland –

    I’m delighted with my new Popular airer and the very clever wall brackets that meant we were able to install it in a room with a concrete ceiling. Both are lovely quality and Jonathan was very helpful throughout the ordering process.

  9. Joshua P, Winchester –

    I’m so pleased with my purchase, it has paid for itself in only a few months. I have recommended to my friends.
    Thanks

  10. Miranda F, Sussex –

    Really great, i’ve been using it to dry flowers on. Photo to follow. Best, Miranda x

  11. Tony S, Chipping Norton –

    One of the most used things in the house. The tumble dryer is almost redundant. Happy days

  12. Tracey Whitehead, Blackpool –

  14. David Nicholls, Warrington –

  15. Roger Hart, Daventry –

    I have found it excellent for a small space such as mine. So much so that I’m thinking of getting one for my girlfriend.

The Popular is our space saving drying rack

A superb workhorse, this hanging airer is made from traditional solid cast iron rack ends and high quality pinewood slats. The slats will come finished to a high standard and are untreated for those delicate laundry items.

This space saving drying rack has a low profile so when fully retracted takes up only 8 inches (17cm) of space in the ceiling void. This clearance height will avoid most doors.

 

The Popular

Its low profile contemporary design suits any room

The rack ends, which are 35cm wide and 10cm high come in a variety of classic colours with matching cast iron pulleys and wall mounted cleat.

This low profile designed ceiling mounted drying rack comes with 10m long traditional rope made from high quality cotton sash cord.

The Popular

Quality fittings and 5 colours to choose from

The single and double pulleys are high quality cast iron with highly durable nylon wheels. Also included is a matching cast iron wall cleat and fixings.

*Please note RED airers will come with white pulleys until further notice.

Your order will arrive with everything you need in the box, including fixings, to get your ceiling mounted airer system utilising the trapped warm air in your ceiling space.

We can make lengths up to 3m on special request, please contact us for more details.
