Boardmann Ironing Board - Extra Wide, Blue/Orange/Black, Mesh Back, 3 Year Guarantee (Boardmann Regular)

Product Information

There are many typical design factors that mean ironing boards deteriorate over time,’ explains Oliver Craig, Head of Design Management at Joseph Joseph. ‘From the traditional leg design that causes them to snag and bash against things as they go in and out of storage to the constant twisting and stressing of the board’s joints and welds as people wrestle to open and close them. These elements, coupled with cost-stripping tactics to reduce materials used, cause ironing boards to wear and break until they eventually give up.’ We have two ironing boards in our range the original Boardmann, which measures 137 x 51 x 8 cm when folded and the Boardmann XL, which is 162 x 51 x 8 cm folded. There’s a huge safety aspect when you’re dealing with something that holds a hot iron. If a board tips over or collapses while ironing it might damage a carpet and at worse burn you or someone else. Boards need to be tough and sturdy and have rubber or plastic-tipped legs to ensure there’s no slipping, particularly when you’re ironing items that require more pressure such as jeans.

Our standard Boardmann was explicitly designed to allow our customers to iron a shirt or a pair of trousers while still being big enough to position a regular steam iron on the board itself. Alternatively, if you tend to iron a large quantity of bedding or prefer a separate rest for your iron, then the Boardmaan XL might prove to be the better choice. The actual ironing space of both boards is identical, but because the XL has a separate iron steam rest, you have more available space for the ironing. Is a Bigger Ironing Board Better The best boards also feature safety catches to stop them collapsing while ironing or opening accidentally when stored. If you’re regularly putting the iron up and taking it down to tidy away, then look out for how heavy they are, too as the bulkier and weightier the board is, the harder it might be to manoeuvre. Is it worth buying an expensive ironing board? Ironing boards are a household item that is often overlooked and yet gets regular and extensive use. Buying a cheaper ironing board could actually be a false economy because you are more than likely to have to replace a cheaper ironing board more often. In contrast, a Boardmann will provide you with many years of service. We are so confident in the quality of our ironing boards that they all come with a three-year warranty (Excluding the Cover). All our boards are height adjustable, ensuring that you can set up the board to your height of choice, and our boards are made with the highest quality materials. What Little Features Have You Added To Your Ironing Boards To Differentiate Them From The Competition?If you’re looking for a compact, easy to store board, then this one probably won’t be for you as its sturdy construction XL size – 124 x 45cm – and solid steam generator holder means it’ll take up a fair bit of space whether up, or folded down. It has 7 height adjustments from 75 to 98cm, great for even the loftiest of ironers and our testers felt it was one of the most stable and sturdy boards they tried. When designing the best ironing board, our research indicated that the wider the surface area, the better. This is because you can iron more of the shirt, dress or trousers with every stroke of your iron. Everyone knows that ironing shirts can be slow and frustrating process, and bedding is even more of a challenge. But with the Boardmann, these challenges melt away, ensuring an efficient process that is both satisfying and a time-saving experience. We have also designed our ironing boards to specifically fit shirts and T-shirts. This makes ironing shirts and T-shirts much more efficient. It is almost like the board is another pair of hands holding the shirt in place and preventing bunching up, leaving you to focus on making your shirt as smooth as anything and implementing the perfect crease – no more tramlines!! What Size is An Extra Large Ironing Board?

It’s safe to say that one of the best ironing boards is essential for the home. While some people absolutely hate this chore and will avoid it at all costs, there are others who love the fact that this quiet task can help them let off some steam (quite literally). Height and material: Firstly, make sure the board is a metal mesh construction below the cover, as this allows steam to pass through and evaporate. Iron type: Your choice of board will also depend on what kind of iron you are using. Most boards happily accommodate steam irons these days, but not all of them will hold larger steam generators, which can be annoying if you then have to place them on an alternative surface or actually on the board, using up precious pressing space.verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

As you might expect, we firmly believe that the bigger or at least, the wider an ironing board is, the more efficient it makes your ironing. A wider ironing board means that you spend more time ironing and less time repositioning your items. This is the main reason why our ironing boards save you so much time and hassle. Are Expensive Ironing Boards Worth It? Although many little tweaks and design choices were implemented in this product, the two key defining factors are the shape and the size of the product. Let’s look a little closer at our board and explain the theories that we implemented. The concepts in our design make ironing your clothes twice as fast as using a traditional board.
