Installing a Laundry Chute in New Build Properties

08 March 2023

As more and more people seek to make their homes more convenient and efficient, the installation of a laundry chute has become increasingly popular.

A laundry chute allows you to easily transport dirty laundry from upper floors to the laundry room without the hassle of carrying heavy loads of clothes. In new build properties, the installation of a laundry chute can be done during construction, making it a convenient and cost-effective option.

Step 1: Determine the Location of the Chute
The first step in installing a laundry chute is to determine the location of the chute. It is important to consider the most convenient and accessible location for the chute, as well as the location of the laundry room. In most cases, the laundry chute is located near the bedrooms and bathrooms on upper floors, with the laundry room located on the ground floor or basement.

Step 2: Cut the Hole for the Chute
Once the location of the chute has been determined, the next step is to cut the hole for the chute. The size of the hole will depend on the size of the chute you have chosen. It is important to ensure that the hole is properly cut and aligned, as this will affect the function of the chute.

Step 3: Install the Chute
The next step is to install the chute. This involves securing the chute in place and connecting it to the laundry room. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and to make sure that the chute is properly installed to ensure that it functions correctly.

Step 4: Finish the Chute
Once the chute has been installed, the next step is to finish it. This involves sealing the edges of the hole and covering it with a door or flap to prevent any items from falling out of the chute. In addition, it is important to make sure that the chute is properly secured and that there are no sharp edges or corners that could pose a hazard.

Step 5: Test the Chute
Finally, it is important to test the chute to make sure that it is functioning properly. This can be done by tossing a few items down the chute and checking that they land in the laundry room as expected.

In conclusion, installing a laundry chute in a new build property is a simple and cost- effective way to make your home more convenient and efficient. By following these steps, you can ensure that your laundry chute is properly installed and that it functions correctly.
