Reasons to Install a Laundry Chute

Reasons you need a Laundry Chute in your Home



Laundry chutes are a family’s best friend in all different ways – they help bring your laundry where it needs to go, they make sure it gets there, and they keep the laundry from piling up and causing an odour in your home.

If you’ve been wondering if a laundry chute is necessary for your home, this blog is for you! There are so many benefits to having a laundry chute throughout your home, and they just make life so much easier. No more lugging heavy, overflowing laundry baskets down flights of stairs, and no more leaving dirty clothes in your room for days because you don’t want to bring them downstairs. So, if you think you don’t need one in your home, here’s why you absolutely do need one…

1.   Convenience 

One of the main reasons you need a laundry chute in your home is because of the convenience and ease it will bring to your life. Whether you are a busy parent with kids going all different ways, or you are an entrepreneur running multiple businesses, you may not have time or remember to bring your laundry downstairs and it will just build up in your room or bathroom. We are also not getting any younger so it’s all about planning for when it will be not as easy to get up and downstairs let alone carry something like a laundry basket. 

By installing a laundry chute, when you change your dirty clothes or bed linen, you can simply open the chute, insert your clothes, and off it goes. You don’t have to worry about bringing it down to your laundry room, and you get so much time back to your life. 

2.   They are safe

The thing we hear the most about laundry chutes is that they create a fire hazard due to their chimney-like construction – that is false. Our team of experts at Easyline Laundry Chutes are here to tell you that your stairs carry a more chance of risk of injury or worse. Installing a laundry chute is the safest way to move your dirty clothes around your home. If you are worried your laundry chute could cause a fire to escalate, you do not have to worry, we have strict fire codes we must abide by when we install a laundry chute, meaning you and your family can rest easy at night. 

If you think about it, your home doesn’t have a fire door at the top of the stairs? Our chutes have, Our doors are 1hr fire-rated, lockable and are child and vulnerable adult safe. They are manufactured to 1mm 316L Stainless steel grade. The melting point for this grade is between 1375°C – 1400°C.

 3.   No more stairs

In the UK there is a fall on stairs every 90 seconds with a large proportion of people carrying something. That’s one of the reasons we dislike about doing laundry, it’s definitely the most dangerous – lugging our heavy laundry baskets down to our basements or wherever your laundry room maybe is a chore in itself. What if we told you that there is a solution to this? Laundry chutes can be installed anywhere in your home that you need – meaning you can insert any dirty items down the chute, and it will all end up in your laundry room. No more lugging heavy laundry baskets downstairs!

 4.   Adds value to your home

Our laundry chutes are manufactured using Stainless steel grade 316L which contains molybdenum that provides corrosion resistance. Some suppliers sell or install wood, PVC, galvanized or lower grade steel which does not have the same fire rating. Our chutes are precision engineered smooth bore welded and acid cleaned, they are male/female couplings so no joins or snagging points and will last the lifetime of the house. A top-quality laundry chute like ours installed in a home adds the same if not more value than the actual cost.
