standard ironing board
The standard ironing board is an essential household tool designed to provide a stable, heat-resistant surface for pressing and smoothing wrinkled fabrics. Typically measuring between 13 to 15 inches wide and 48 to 54 inches long, these boards feature a padded top surface covered with heat-resistant material, most commonly cotton or specialty metallic-coated fabric. The structure consists of a collapsible metal frame with height adjustment mechanisms, allowing users to customize the working height from 28 to 36 inches to prevent back strain. Modern ironing boards incorporate additional features such as iron rests, cord managers, and sleeve attachments. The surface is engineered with a mesh pattern underneath that enables steam to pass through, enhancing wrinkle removal efficiency. The padding thickness usually ranges from 8mm to 12mm, providing adequate cushioning while maintaining the necessary firmness for effective pressing. Most models include non-slip feet for stability and a locking mechanism to ensure safety during storage. The board's tapered end is specifically designed to accommodate garment shapes, making it easier to iron shirts, pants, and other clothing items effectively.
