Laundry-Room the choices on how to proceed Laundry-Room, a quick guide to choosing the best room for your laundry.Things to check before building a laundry room. Insider tips.When you decide to build your Laundry-Room, it is most important to start with at least one outside wall for the fresh air ventilation.An outside wall will also have a drain or waste pipe within close proximity of the wall to allow the waste from the the washing machines to be disposed of without any hassle.
You may think this is so basic it's not worth mentioning but I can assure you I have been asked to place a range of laundry machines inside a building where there was no fresh air which had to be delivered to the room by a range of ducts at vast expense, because the architect was unaware of the need.Check for water supply both hot and cold, is the header tank high enough above the room to provide enough head to fill the machines?Is a decent power supply distribution box anywhere near? Power is the easiest to to remedy, but still expensive if it has to come a long way. Is the fuse box capable of taking the heaters from the washers and dryers should they all come on at once? A Laundry-Room can use a considerable amount of power in short bursts, Typical heaters for a washer are 6kW at least. Then multiply by the number required and you have some idea of the power needed. A good Laundry-Room will have heated cold fill washers which will provide a better wash than ones with a warm fill from the mains supply boiler. See How to do Laundry for the reasons. Access. Can the washing machines get into and out of the Laundry Room?Unless you would like to pay for cranes and removing the roof for service and repalcement of machines check the doors are wide enough for the machine to enter. They cannot be dismantled and reassembled inside.Cellars are a nightmare for a Laundry-Room, avoid at all costs.I try to walk away from people who insist that the laundry must be placed in the cellar and their office has to stay in the one large airy room that would fit the bill.The problems with ventilation, drainage alone are enough to say no. Then there is the problem of gas dryers, steer clear of all cellars for a laundry. OK for a Nightclub but not a Laundry-Room. Access down the stairs for heavy machinery is also a big problem.
