Door Hook Compatibility With Standard Doors
Will the hanging hook fit over my standard internal door?
The included hanging bracket is designed to fit most standard internal doors (typically 35mm to 40mm thick) and can also be mounted directly onto a wall or inside a cupboard. If your doors are non-standard or particularly thick, we recommend wall-mounting the bracket for the most secure fit, which keeps the board discreetly tucked away when not in use.
Folding Vs Standard Ironing Boards
Is the folding mechanism difficult to use compared to a standard board?
The Glide Compact uses a unique nesting leg design to achieve its ultra-slim profile, which operates slightly differently from traditional 'scissor' legs. It may feel different the first few times you use it, but once you find the rhythm, it is smooth and fast. Ensure the legs are fully clicked into the locked position before ironing to ensure maximum stability.
Compact Ironing Board Stability
How stable is the board given its compact leg design?
The Glide board is engineered with a sturdy steel frame to minimise movement. However, like all ironing boards, stability relies on a level floor. The board includes non-slip feet to grip hard floors and carpets alike. If you experience any wobble, check that the legs are fully extended and locked into their widemost position before placing a garment on the surface.
Smaller Ironing Surface Considerations
Will I miss having a larger ironing surface?
If you frequently iron large items like king-size bed linen or tablecloths, you might find the compact surface requires a bit more repositioning than a full-size board. However, for the vast majority of clothing items, the surface area is ample. The trade-off is a massive gain in storage space and ease of handling-most customers find the convenience of a board that disappears into a cupboard outweighs the need for extra length.
Replacement Covers For Ironing Boards
Can I buy replacement covers if this one wears out?
es, Joseph Joseph produces specific replacement covers for the Glide Compact range. You are not locked into a proprietary system that becomes obsolete; simply look for the "Glide Compact" 110cm x 33cm covers. They are easy to fit with a cord toggle, ensuring your board looks and performs like new even after years of service.
