Measure the wall and the space in front of it
A wall-mounted board makes sense where you iron in the same place and want the floor clear between sessions. The wall carries the board, so the mounting surface and fixings matter as much as the size of the deck. The board also needs a clear path to open. If it swivels, measure the full arc and leave room for your hands and the garment while you work.
Picture the board with a shirt on it and the laundry basket beside you. You should be able to approach from your usual side, work across the deck and set the iron down without stepping around the board. If a cupboard door needs to open during a session, try that in your plan. A board that fits in a narrow gap when closed can still block a useful part of the room.
Emuca Iron Wall for a shorter deck that can swivel
Emuca specifies an 81 × 30 cm ironing surface and a swivel range of 180 degrees for the white Iron Wall 8089412. A lock secures the swivel position. The maker supplies instructions for suitable wall or furniture mounting and shows the support that secures the board in its horizontal working position.

Bear in mind
Check the swing arc, folded size and exact fixing surface in the installation instructions.
- 81 × 30 cm deck
- 180° swivel
A shorter deck can be a practical fit for shirts and smaller pieces where the room lacks space for a longer arc. Measure the garment sections you normally press and check the side you need to stand on. If the board has to swivel towards a worktop, leave space for hanging fabric and use a working angle the mechanism can lock securely.
Compare the drawing if you already own an Ironfix
For an existing wall-mounted Ironfix, the exact 568.66.700 has a 95 × 30 cm pressing surface and a turning mechanism with a 180-degree range. Häfele’s drawing shows about 98.5 cm overall projection when straight out and about 18.5 cm projection folded. The grey-striped cover is distinct from the aluminium-cover variant. Check the part reference if you need a replacement.
The extra deck length gives you more room to lay out a longer section of a shirt or pair of trousers. It also puts the nose farther into the room as you open or turn the board. Hold a tape at the proposed pivot and check the straight position and the angles you actually intend to use. Allow for skirting, handles and the space taken by the board support.
Check the mounting position in four steps
- Find a workable height. Test where your hand would be while pressing with a cold iron. Check the open deck height in the maker's drawing before marking the bracket. The bracket and the top of the deck can sit at different heights. Use the ironing board height guide to compare positions.
- Mark the folded outline. Include the hinge, handle, cover and any separate storage holder. Test for clashes with trim, a radiator, furniture and a door's full swing. Leave room to grip the board and work its release.
- Mark the open shape. Check the projection from the wall, the clearance for your body and the path of any swivel. Leave room to move large pieces without brushing against a wall, socket or hot iron.
- Confirm the support. Read the instructions for the exact model. Ask a competent installer to check the wall or furniture, fixings and any concealed pipes or cables before fitting. Supplied fixings still need to be suitable for the material and the load.
When installation is complete, check the support, latches and swivel lock with the board empty and cool. If the bracket moves, the board tilts unexpectedly or its support fails to lock, stop and have the setup checked. Keep your fingers clear of the hinge when folding.
A permanent installation is easiest to assess in the position where it will actually open. Leave access to the mount for inspection and to the cover fastenings for replacement. Check the permission needed for fixed alterations if the space is rented or shared. Keep escape routes and fire doors clear in every board position.
Plan the iron rest and cord before use
Work out where you will park the iron between passes. Use the position approved by the iron and board makers. A storage holder and a place to rest a hot iron can have different requirements. With a swivel board, check the cord path through every position you use. Keep the lead away from the pivot, the soleplate and walkways.
A steam generator adds a separate tank, filled weight and a hose. Follow both makers’ instructions about where the base can sit. If the intended setup cannot support the equipment safely, check the dedicated boards for steam generator irons. A tabletop ironing board can suit a room where you have an appropriate supporting surface and want to avoid a permanent installation.

Frequently asked questions
Can you mount an ironing board on plasterboard?
Confirm the structural support and approved fixing method for the exact board. Wall finish alone does not establish capacity. Ask a competent installer to assess the wall and concealed services if you are unsure.
How far does a wall-mounted ironing board stick out?
Use the exact maker’s drawing for open and folded projection. The ironing surface length can leave out the bracket. Allow for any iron holder, clothing overhang and space to work.
Does a wall-mounted ironing board need to swivel?
A fixed board suits a clear lane directly in front of the wall. A swivelling board can help you approach from the side where the room allows it to turn and lock in position.
What height should I mount a fold-down board?
Check your working reach with a cold iron and use the manufacturer’s drawing to relate the desired deck height to the bracket. Check the lock and release are reachable.
Can I use a steam generator on a wall board?
Check the board and iron instructions for a suitable base position, filled load and hose route. A rest for a conventional iron does not establish support for a separate generator base.
Can I fit a wall-mounted ironing board inside a cupboard?
Choose a model that the maker permits for furniture mounting and check the support, door clearance and opening arc. Pull-out drawer boards use different hardware and dimensions.
