Drying cabinets for workplaces

    With various changes happening at my workplace I no longer can use the plant room to hang and dry my clothes (I was advised to do so some 5 years ago and it has worked very well over that time). So right now all my clothes are hanging on the radiators in an open plan office. I don't mind doing that but once we get more people in the building again there will be folks sitting right next to my clothes which I would prefer to spare them from.

    I have been asked for solutions and I know some of you have done a lot for the active travel facilities at your workplaces.

    I heard that at a laser company in Glasgow they have a PEKO drying cabinet.

    It is particularly suitable for offices with staff who cycle to work, the fire and rescue services, utility providers, airport handling services, construction companies, sports clubs and outdoor leisure centres, and professional laundry services.

    Has anyone here used them?

    Or any other solutions/suggestions?

    I've installed Peko drying cabinets at a few of my work's offices. They're pretty good. All were what is now called the ED-1900R model that has three sets of hanging rails.

    Main thing to note is that it, and most other cabinets like it, need to ventilate to the outside, so location is important. One of our buildings has an underground car park, but has enough 'outside' air flow that we just vented the cabinet into that space.

    @bill - if cost is a barrier to your chosen solution, are you aware of the Cycle Friendly Employer grants from Cycling Scotland. Having had one in the past, they are quite simple to apply for.
