Installing an automated laundry system can be daunting, but Steigen sets the gold standard and makes it a breeze with six versatile installation methods, all offered free of charge.
Whether your ceiling is concrete, false, boxed-in, uneven, trellis, or high, Steigen has you covered. Let us explore these installation options and highlight considerations homeowners should note when purchasing an automated laundry system.
1. Concrete Ceiling
Concrete ceilings are the most straightforward for installation. Steigen's in-house trained technicians securely mount the system, ensuring stability and durability. This method is ideal for most HDB homes.
Considerations:
- Ensure there are no obstructive elements like water heater tanks or pipes in the corner.
- Check for any nearby floating shelves or cabinets that could interfere with the system's operation.
- Verify the availability of a 6 Amp light point for electrical power.
2. False Ceiling
False ceilings add a touch of elegance to interiors, but they require careful handling during installations. The Steigen team skillfully navigate this setup to ensure a secure fit without compromising the ceiling’s aesthetics.

Considerations:
Ensure a concrete slab is beyond the false ceiling and the distance between the two ceilings is not more than 1.2 metres. - Check there are no obstacles (such as pipes etc) blocking the mounting points of the system.
- Verify for the availability of a 6 Amp light point for electrical power.
Stainless steel rods are added as reinforcements that connect the system to the concrete slab above the false ceiling.
3. Boxed-in Ceiling
Boxed-in ceilings often house pipes and electrical wires, making them tricky for installations. Fret not, the technicians under Steigen have the experience to safely and securely mount the automated system in these areas without disturbing the existing infrastructure.
Considerations:
- Identify the layout of any hidden pipes or wires within the boxed-in ceiling.
- Check the minimum installation space required is met.
- Verify the availability of a 6 Amp light point for electrical power.
4. Uneven Ceiling
Uneven ceilings can present a challenge, but Steigen’s innovative installation techniques ensure the automated laundry system is level and functional, even on a bumpy surface.
Considerations:
- Assess the extent of the unevenness to determine the best mounting approach.
- Consider the location of any nearby windows or doors that might interfere with the installation.
- Verify the availability of a 6 Amp light point for electrical power.
5. Trellis (Outdoor)
For installations on a trellis, Steigen offers a robust solution that withstands outdoor elements while providing efficient drying.
Considerations:
- Ensure the trellis is strong enough to support the weight of the system.
- A physical site measurement (free of charge and non-obligatory) is highly recommended.
- If the outdoor area is too windy, an L-bracket installation is recommended instead.
- Verify the availability of a 6 Amp light point for electrical power.
6. High Ceiling (L-bracket)
High ceilings add a sense of grandeur to your home, and Steigen’s L-bracket method makes it possible to install the laundry system even in these elevated spaces. This technique uses two sturdy L-brackets to mount the system at the desired height.
Considerations:
- Maximum ceiling height for installation is 3.2 metre.
- Check for any obstructions like bookcase shelves or ceiling fans that could interfere with the system's operation.
- Verify the availability of a 6 Amp light point for electrical power or a 13 Amp power socket (trunking will be provided, free of charge).
