Renovation Tips with Smart Laundry Racks - GoodLiving Singapore

Planning a renovation and considering a smart laundry system for your home? Smart laundry racks are a game-changer for modern households, but proper planning during renovations is key to ensuring seamless installation. Here’s everything you need to know before starting.

1. Plan Your Service Yard Space Wisely

Avoid Excessive Cabinets: Don’t overbuild cabinets in the service yard as they reduce the available installation space for the laundry rack.

For HDB Homes: Avoid covering exposed pipes with bulky cabinets. If covering them is necessary, keep it minimal to maintain installation space.

Know Your Dimensions: Measure the smart laundry rack you’re interested in and allocate enough space not just for the rack itself but also for the hanging area.

Tip: Research your preferred laundry rack models and ensure your design accommodates their dimensions.

2. Prepare the Necessary Electrical Points

Wiring Options: Install a wiring point for the system, either using an existing light point or new wiring controlled by a switch.

Alternative: Some homeowners opt for a 3-pin socket installed on the ceiling for convenience.

3. Timing the Installation

Avoid Early Installation: Install the laundry rack after the electrical work and the first layer of painting to avoid damage from renovation dust and debris.

Final Touch-Ups: Schedule painting touch-ups post-installation for a flawless finish.

4. Ceiling Requirements for Installation

Concrete or False Ceilings: Check with laundry rack providers if they provide installations. At GoodLiving, we provide free installations for all types.

False Ceiling Gap: If the gap between the false and concrete ceilings exceeds 80 cm, reinforcement from your contractor will be required. Check out our video on how we do a strong and secure installation for false ceiling.

5. Book Your Installation Early

Plan Ahead: With high demand, installation slots fill up quickly. Reserve your preferred date as early as possible to avoid delays.

Typical Lead Time: Depending on the company, lead times may vary, so inquire about this when purchasing.

6. Be Present on Installation Day

Oversee the Process: Installation usually takes 1–2 hours. Owners should be on-site to confirm placement and details with the installer.

Ensure Proper Setup: Your presence ensures any last-minute adjustments are handled smoothly.

Conclusion:

By taking these considerations into account during your renovation, you can enjoy a hassle-free installation and the full benefits of your smart laundry rack. Start planning today to make the most of your service yard space and enjoy an efficient, modern home solution.
