Re: laundry chute 3Jul 04, 2011 10:10 pm Can you have it built into the cabinets? It looks much nicer and is much easier to do during the building stage. You will want to make sure no floor joists, wires, pipes or ducts are in the way of where you want the chute to be. Success is the result of good judgment, good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is often the result of bad judgment!

Yes, I thought a good idea would be to have, as part of the built-in cabinets a bottom hinged door, with the chute behind. As we are still to build the "mezzanine" house, I can design the ground floor laundry, around the chute....how lucky am I! Re: laundry chute 5Jul 06, 2011 12:44 pm eagle1 When I was in Singapore, a friend has their laundry clothes direct from their room cabinets to the next room---their laundry. They also have their garbage direct to the ground floor bins. Really efficient. And less bulk looking to have more bins at home. The garbage bin idea is brilliant....thanks Re: laundry chute 6Jul 16, 2011 1:07 pm I read a post somewhere where they made the chute fall into an overhead cabinet in the laundry - saved the cost of boxing out the chute - and keeps bench space free. Re: laundry chute 8Dec 13, 2011 10:01 am Hi, I'm bumping this up , because I'm hoping that somebody who has a laundry chute can show me a pic of what theirs looks like at the laundry end. We have one drawn on our plan, mostly because I had 2 nasty falls carrying washing down stairs at a previous house (its hard to see where you are placing your feet on the stairs, with large sheets etc in your arms) but I cant visualise how it will look, or how we can disguise it in the cabinetry of the laundry. Many thanks.

My idea is to have (as part of the floor to ceiling cupboards in my large pantry) a bottom hinged "door" that has the chute attached below, and goes straight down into the floor to ceiling cupboards in my downs stairs laundry. All the cupboards have the same front. So it's just a matter of opening a door and inside is a removable laundry basket on wheels. Therefore you'd never tell that there is a chute inside. Hope this helps. Re: laundry chute 10Dec 15, 2011 10:04 am Thanks for that idea, I dont really want the washing to drop into a hamper thats visible, so in a full length cupboard makes sense, and would hide the chute too. Another thing to talk to the builder about! Re: laundry chute 12Jul 03, 2012 6:33 pm I build then out of white melamine. The same material as the internals of your vanity or kitchen. I built one a few years ago that traveled over 10meters, had two 90degree turns and two fans to blow the clothes along!

Why didn't they just design the house better. We designed ours so the hall cupboard where the clothes go in on the second floor is nearly directly over the laundry. Stewie Agreed.
