What heated clothes airers can do
Heated rails provide gentle warmth to help laundry dry indoors during cooler months. Heated rails dry clothes faster than other unheated racks and use lower heat than tumble dryers, making them gentler on fabrics.
Format and capacity choices
Choose a style that fits your space and the type of laundry you do most often:
- Winged: wide arms and flat-dry zones for delicates
- 3‑tier: stacked levels for family-sized loads in small spaces
- X‑frame: folds quickly and works well when floor space is limited
- Compact/pod: takes up little space and is ideal for quick top-up loads
Most models provide 11m to 23m of drying space, so you can handle anything from small loads to family-sized laundry.
Covers and ventilation tips
Covers trap heat, helping clothes dry more evenly on tiered or winged frames so you move items less often. Keep rooms well ventilated, or use a dehumidifier, to manage moisture. Allow extra time for heavier fabrics like towels and jeans. If space is tight, fold frames away once items are part-dry to keep walkways clear.
