Types of floor hangers and their location
Floor hangers can be divided into several categories based on design characteristics.
- for outerwear;
- racks for hanging hangers;
- suit, for shirts, trousers;
- hanging chairs.
Some types of floor hangers are located in specific areas. For example, coat hangers are located in the hallway next to the door. This is convenient because you can quickly take off your clothes. Floor hangers with hangers are more versatile. Such products can be placed in corridors, dressing rooms, children’s rooms and bedrooms. They can accommodate a large amount of clothing and can replace closets.
Standing hangers for clothes, shirts and trousers are almost always “registered” in bedrooms and children’s rooms (if the children are boys). We usually dress before leaving the house. They are also placed on street hangers. In fact, this is one of the options for a suit hanger. Only the legs and feet took the shape of the seats.
What materials are they made from?
Floor-standing coat rack almost always made of metal or wood. Both of these materials are strong, ductile, durable and relatively cheap. Some parts – the fork, part of the hook – can be made of plastic.
Plastic inserts are often found on metal hangers at a low price. If the elements of the supporting structure are not made of plastic, this is not bad, and you can buy such floor hangers without hesitation. If the support structure elements are made of plastic, it is recommended to look for another model.
Metal hangers
The largest selection of metal floor hangers. They are usually made from thin-walled round or square pipes. Most often, metal is used, on which a protective coating is applied. These are paint (in most cases powder coated), nicks and chrome. In recent years, a new protective coating has appeared – polymer film (PVS). This is also a good option, since the film is impermeable to moisture and air. Such products have a smooth surface and do not have pores, which makes them easier to care for.
If floor hangers help to accommodate heavy winter clothes, pay attention to the thickness of the metal when choosing. The minimum value in this case is 1 mm. If the product description does not indicate the thickness of the pipe wall, then most likely it is very thin and suitable for light clothing. An indirect sign that confirms the guess is the weight of the product and the price.
Wooden
Wooden hangers can be cut from solid wood or made in advance. The first option is much more expensive. The collections are two to three times cheaper, but have a less attractive appearance. If you are on a limited budget, it is quite possible to buy economy-class products, since it is difficult to believe that there are joints in normal quality products.
Wooden floor hangers are well polished and coated with a protective layer. Usually varnish or oil is used. Varnishes create a protective film on the surface and thereby facilitate product care. Wood oils do not create a protective film, but do not deteriorate it either. When treated with oil, the structure of the wood is clearly visible – all the fibers, the pattern.
Standing clothes hangers in the hallway
Floor hangers for coats in corridors are most often rods with hooks for clothes of different lengths and shapes, located at different heights. For stability, structures are equipped with round (less often square) weighted bases. They can be made of wood or metal.
The height of the stands is at least 150 cm, and the bases are round, with a diameter of 35-45 cm. It is necessary to ensure that the lower part is weighted to stabilize the suspensions. However, this design requires careful attention. Clothes should hang straight. Otherwise, the hanger may come off.
Floor hangers for outerwear of this type exist, but are made differently. Some pipes or metal strips bend to a certain radius. In this case, the upper part is smaller than the lower part. This design is more stable, but requires more space and is not always possible in small corridors.
Racks for clothes hangers
Where there is not enough space in the closet, coat hangers will come in handy. They consist of a rectangular shape, one or two martens, over which clothing is draped.
Bread makers are made of metal and wood. Some of them are made of pipe metal and are fake. Some models of metal clothing racks have adjustable heights. For longer clothes, the hanger can be raised higher. The maximum height is 150 cm. For short clothes, they can be placed at a height of 80-90 cm. This is the minimum height, and there is also an intermediate position.
In some cases, floor hangers on wheels are useful. It is easy to move from place to place without removing hanging clothes. There are children’s models of this type of floor hangers. They differ only in height and “cheerful” color. Even children’s floor hangers can be made of plastic. Children’s clothing is not that heavy, so the plastic is strong enough. And in terms of price, plastic floor hangers are the cheapest.
For those who host a large number of guests, placing outerwear can be a problem. In such cases, there are folding racks under the shoulders of the outerwear. When folded, they take up very little space and can be stored in the pantry.
Floor hanger for suit
The problem of storing business suits can be easily solved by purchasing special floor hangers. It is somewhat similar to a hanger, only with special hangers for jackets and trousers.
There are suit hangers made of wood, metal and plastic. In this case, plastic is a good choice. Loads are not expected to be large, so modern plastics are quite durable.
If we talk about useful options, then these are shelves or drawers. They are convenient for storing business items such as glasses, cufflinks, wallets and car keys.
Typically, floor hangers for suits are placed in bedrooms and dressing rooms. It is useful to have such a device in the office. Various models available. You can choose any interior style. And some options look like designer jewelry.
Hanger-chair and hanger-bedside table
There are quite unusual models of hangers. They match the furniture. For example, there are stool hangers. Models vary. There are stands for suits, bars for shoulders or outerwear. For small apartments this is a very good option. The layout is the same as a regular chair or banquette, but they are also useful for storing clothes.
Another option: bedside tables with hangers. The bottom half of these floor hangers is much heavier than the top half and therefore does not come off the hanging coats. The second advantage of such furniture is the optimal use of space. The problem with all floor hangers is that the lower part of 50-60 cm remains unjustified. This is not the case for piers. This is another good use of space for small rooms.
