FAQs
What is the maximum weight the airer can hold?
The airer is designed with strong laths capable of withstanding large clothing loads. Specific weight limits are not provided, but it is intended for substantial laundry quantities.
How much space does the airer take up when raised?
When raised to the ceiling, the airer occupies the vertical space of its dimensions (200cm L x 56cm W x 14cm H), but is stored out of the way of the main room space.
Can this be installed on a sloped ceiling?
This airer is designed for flat, horizontal ceilings. Installation on a sloped ceiling is not recommended without professional modification.
What material is the rope made of?
The rope is made of cotton.
Does the airer require electricity?
No, the airer operates manually using a pulley system and relies on natural heat and air circulation for drying.
How long will the varnished finish last?
The clear-coat varnish is durable, but like all wood finishes, it may require light maintenance or re-application over extended periods, especially if exposed to high humidity.
What are the dimensions of the airer?
The dimensions are 200cm (Length) x 56cm (Width) x 14cm (Height).
Troubleshooting
Airer does not lower or raise smoothly
Check the cotton rope for tangles or knots. Ensure the pulleys are clean and free from debris. The rope may need re-tensioning.
Laths feel unstable or wobbly
Verify that the airer is securely mounted to the ceiling and that all fixings are tight. Ensure the load is evenly distributed across the laths.
Pine laths show signs of wear
Lightly sand any rough patches and re-apply a clear varnish to protect the wood. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.
Rope appears frayed or worn
Replace the cotton rope with a new, strong rope of similar thickness. Ensure it is securely tied to the laths and threaded through the pulleys.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves securely mounting the pulley system and the rack ends to the ceiling. Ensure the ceiling structure is strong enough to support the weight of the airer when fully loaded with wet clothes. The cotton rope should be attached to the pulleys and then to the laths according to the provided instructions. Adjust the rope length as needed to ensure the airer hangs level.
Compatibility: This airer is compatible with most standard ceiling types, provided adequate fixing points can be established. It is designed for indoor use in rooms with adequate air circulation.
Care: To maintain its appearance and longevity, wipe the varnished pine laths with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The cast-iron parts can be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Periodically check the cotton rope for wear and tear and replace if necessary.
