First Of All: Select Laundry Room Cabinets That Allow For Stacked Washer And Dryer Units

Several Washtower units allow for a stacked configuration of washer and dryer units. 

Therefore, rather than having to custom build a unit, you can simply select the unit size and configuration that works best for your available space. 

Our Slimline 3.1 unit is one such product example. 

Explore all Slimline 3.1 colour options: 

Washing machine cabinet white: Slimline 3.1 (white)

Washing machine cabinet black: Slimline 3.1 (black) 

If you’re interested in some of our other utility room cupboards, you can easily toggle between colour options with a single click. Colour wise, while a white washing machine cupboard offers plenty of decor versatility, a black washing machine cabinet creates a bold and contemporary look.

Additional styles of utility room cabinets to explore that allow for a stackable washer and dryer format include the Slimline 3.2, Slimline 3.3 and the WSTT185 washing machine and dryer cupboard.

Safety Precautions When Placing The Tumble Dryer On A Washing Machine

As noted at the start of our post, you can indeed place a tumble dryer on a washing machine. 

In particular, stacking a tumble dryer on top of a washing machine is a space-saving solution that can streamline your laundry routine and create a more organised and efficient laundry room. 

However, before stacking a tumble dryer on a washing machine, it's crucial to take safety precautions to ensure a secure and hazard-free setup:

1. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for both your washing machine and tumble dryer. They may offer specific instructions and compatibility information for appliance stacking.

1. Proper ventilation is essential, especially for tumble dryers. Ensure that there is adequate space around the dryer for air circulation and heat dissipation.

Additionally, take advantage of the online configurator to customise your storage solution to your specific needs and style preferences. With the right setup, your laundry area can become a functional and visually appealing space in your home.

Benefits Of Stacking A Tumble Dryer On A Washing Machine

Stacking a tumble dryer on top of a washing machine can be a practical space-saving solution. Here are some key advantages:

1. In smaller laundry rooms or tight spaces, stacking allows you to make the most of your available square footage. This is especially beneficial for apartments or homes with limited laundry space including rooms which have a sloped roof. 

1. A stacked washer and dryer combination can create a neat and organised look in your laundry area. This can contribute to an overall cleaner and more functional space.

1. With a tumble dryer conveniently positioned above the washing machine, you can easily transfer clothes from one appliance to the other without bending down or straining your back.

Do You Need Additional Storage Space Within Your Stacked Washer And Dryer Cabinets? 

We naturally consider the need to house our laundry appliances within any cabinetry, but what about space for dirty laundry as well as other accessories? 

Based on popular online search queries for the likes of ‘store vacuum cleaner’, ‘store ironing board’ and ‘cabinet for ironing board’ - it is clear that having an effective laundry storage system is top on everyone’s list. So now is the time to consider exactly what you need to house within your laundry units. 

Depending on your cabinet selection, it’s possible to find styles that have storage integrated either to the side or above the machine. 

Washtower also has a range of standalone cabinets that can be used to house anything else beyond your appliances within your laundry room. For example, WSCH207-45 would make for a handy ironing board cabinet.
