What is a washing machine stand?

A stand is an aid you use to put a washing machine or dryer at a comfortable working height. Instead of bending deeply when loading and unloading, you bring the machine to an ergonomic height. That means more comfort, less strain on your back and a more pleasant laundry room.

Why a stand for your washing machine or dryer?

A stand offers concrete advantages you notice every day:

• Less bending: you place the washing machine at a height that suits your build, so you no longer have to bend deeply when filling and emptying the drum.

• Working ergonomically: the raised position puts less strain on your back and knees, which is particularly welcome if you do laundry often or have physical complaints.

• Room for storage: useful storage space appears under the raised machine for detergent, laundry baskets or other laundry essentials.

• A stable construction: a good stand keeps the machine firmly in place and directs vibration effectively downwards through the cabinet-in-cabinet construction.

What stand options are there?

At Waschturm™ we distinguish several washing machine stands, each with its own function:

Single stand

• Function: puts one washing machine or dryer at working height

• Suitable for: limited space, raising one machine

Double stand

• Function: puts washing machine and dryer side by side at working height

• Suitable for: a wide laundry room, raising both machines

Stand with storage cabinet

• Function: combines the raised machine with extra storage

• Suitable for: maximum storage and ergonomics

How does a Waschturm™ stand work?

Waschturm™ washing machine cabinets are designed with a well-considered construction that guarantees stability and comfort:

• A continuous base plate: the washing machine always stands in the cabinet on a sturdy base plate, not directly on the floor. This distinctive feature gives extra stability.

• Adjustable feet: with adjustable feet you level the cabinet perfectly, whatever the surface.

• Vibration damping: vibration is directed downwards through the cabinet-in-cabinet construction, which makes for stable, quiet operation.

• Standard dimensions: the recess of 62.5 x 86.3 x 58.3 cm (WxHxD) suits standard washing machines and dryers.

• Room for connections: the cabinet has 5 cm of space at the back as standard and stands about 5 cm further from the wall with the wall brackets, leaving roughly 10 cm for water and power connections.

What suits your situation?

The choice of stand depends on your laundry room and your wishes:

• Limited space: choose a single stand, or consider a stacked washer and dryer setup to build upwards.

• A roomy laundry space: a washer and dryer cabinet has room for both machines side by side at working height.

• Extra storage needed: combine your stand with storage cabinets for a complete laundry room.

• Tailored to your space: use the configurator to put together your ideal setup, matched to your room and your wishes.

Safety and stability

All Waschturm™ washing machine cabinets come with an anti-tip device as standard. This keeps the cabinet safely in place, even with intensive use. The cabinets also have ventilation grilles as standard and enough room around the machine for optimal ventilation and a long life for your appliances.
