A laundry tower is a smart cabinet that safely, ergonomically, and stylishly conceals your washing machine and dryer. You save floor space, have less bending, and instantly have extra storage for detergents, laundry baskets, and accessories. At Wasdroom, we call this a laundry tower: a designer solution with plug-and-play installation, TÜV certification, soft-close systems, and a load capacity of up to 300 kg. Ideal for small laundry areas, utility rooms, or a complete laundry room. This allows you to create a sleek design, for example, with a built-in cabinet for the washing machine and dryer .
What do we mean by a wash tower and what types of configurations are there?
The core of a laundry tower is a stable, dimensionally stable cabinet that places your appliances at the correct working height and neatly conceals pipes. This creates a sense of order and order, while the cabinet helps dampen vibrations and provides extra storage space. Depending on your space and needs, you can choose from various configurations, ranging from a compact stacking unit for a washer and dryer to a full wall of cabinets. At Wasdroom, you'll find washing machine cabinets that fulfill the same function, in various styles and finishes to suit your interior.
- Compact stacking: the dryer sits on top of the washing machine with a stable riser and a pull-out shelf for your laundry basket. Very space-saving.
- Side by side: washing machine and dryer at the same height for maximum stability and ergonomics, often with additional drawers or wall cabinets.
- Wall unit: a complete solution with tall storage units, wall units, and niches for appliances and laundry supplies.
You can often customize your own design: choose the niche size, extra drawers or top-mounted cabinets, and the finish that suits your style. This way, you can make the most of every inch.
Construction, safety and materials
Safe stacking and ergonomics depend entirely on the design. Therefore, choose a cabinet with a sturdy support structure, reliable anchoring, and quality hardware. Wasdroom cabinets are TÜV-certified and designed for long-term, intensive use. The combination of sturdy panel material, precision fittings, and soft-close systems ensures stability and quiet operation. The high load capacity of up to 300 kg provides a generous safety margin for modern machines.
Pay attention to essential details like wall anchors for added security, ventilation openings to allow heat and moisture to escape, and sufficient space behind the appliances for plugs, drains, and hoses. A plug-and-play mounting concept makes installation simple and repeatable, while the 5-year warranty provides security. This way, you can be sure that the dryer on the washing machine is not only practical but also safe and durable. Read more about space behind the washing machine in the cabinet .
Assembly and installation: practical tips
Proper preparation prevents hassle. Measure the niche accurately, including height, width, and depth, and allow extra space for plugs and hoses. Check the standard installation dimensions for a washing machine cabinet . Level the cabinet with adjustable feet and always secure it to the wall. Then place the washing machine on the bottom and the dryer on top. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for maximum load capacity and vibration reduction. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliances, especially in small or damp spaces.
- Work sequence: first assemble and anchor the cabinet, then install and connect the devices.
- Ergonomics: use a pull-out tray or drawer as a work surface for your laundry basket, and possibly a washing machine riser .
- Safety: Never place the washing machine on top of the dryer, always the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put together a washbasin conversion myself?
Yes. Start with your available space and choose your desired configuration: stacking, side-by-side, or a wall of cabinets. Determine niche dimensions, storage space, and extras like a pull-out shelf. At Wasdroom, you can easily customize your washing machine cabinet with matching modules and finishes, ensuring the size, style, and function are perfectly suited to your laundry room.
What is better, a washing machine and dryer on top of each other or next to each other?
That depends on your space and preferences. Stacking them is the most space-saving and ergonomic option with a shelf. Side-by-side offers maximum stability, a more direct work surface, and often additional storage space. Always pay attention to anchoring and ventilation, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your appliances and cabinets.
How deep should the cupboard be for a washing machine?
For most machines, allow approximately 60 cm depth plus 5 to 10 cm for hoses and plugs. In practice, this equates to a niche depth of approximately 65 to 70 cm. Always check the specifications of your washer and dryer and consider ventilation and space.
