What are the advantages of a washing machine cabinet?
A washing machine cabinet does not just make things look tidy, it also makes your laundry room more practical, safer and better organised. By integrating the washing machine and dryer cleverly, you make the most of the space you have and create more storage for all your laundry supplies.
The main advantages
Extra storage: make the most of the height above the washing machine for detergent, fabric softener, towels and other laundry supplies.
A comfortable working height: raising the machine means you have to bend less far when loading and unloading, which takes the strain off your back.
Noise damping: the cabinet absorbs vibration and dampens the noise during the spin cycle, which means less disturbance in the house.
A clean look: hoses, cables and bottles disappear neatly behind the doors for a calm, tidy appearance.
Safety: detergent and bleach stay behind a door, out of reach of children and pets.
Protection: the appliances are shielded from dust and splashing water, which can extend their life.
Space saving: a dryer can be placed safely and firmly on top of the washing machine.
Making the most of the space
A washing machine cabinet is the answer for small laundry rooms, compact bathrooms or studio flats where every square centimetre counts. By building upwards rather than outwards you create extra storage without giving up valuable floor space. If you put a dryer on top of the washing machine, the cabinet also provides a stable construction that absorbs vibration during the spin cycle.
The right cabinet for your situation
To choose the right cabinet it helps to settle a few things first: do you want a freestanding setup or extra storage above the machine, will the washing machine sit on the floor or at an ergonomic height, and how much space do you have? There is always a solution that fits. See the full range at our washing machine cabinets or request personal advice with no obligation, so we can work out the best layout together.
