klädrör

Klädrör is a Swedish term referring to a horizontal rod or bar used for hanging clothes. In many Swedish wardrobes and storage systems a klädrör forms part of the closet infrastructure, running between wall brackets or the sides of a cabinet to hold garments on hangers. The concept is analogous to a clothes rail or wardrobe rod used in other contexts.

Materials and construction: Klädrör are commonly made of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or wood. They are sized to fit the width of the closet and designed to support typical daily garments. End supports or brackets fix the rod to walls, closet panels, or cabinetry. Some models are extendable or curved to fit corner wardrobes, and load capacity varies with material and mounting.

Variants and installation: In built-in wardrobes, a fixed rod is installed at convenient hanging height. Freestanding garment racks may include a central klädrör for hanging space, sometimes with double-rod configurations for two levels of storage. Installation considerations include weight distribution, secure anchoring to studs or appropriate wall anchors, and ensuring the rod remains straight and level.

Maintenance and usage: A klädrör should be checked periodically for rust and secure mounting, especially in humid areas. Distribute hangers evenly to prevent bending and ensure smooth operation. The system is used for everyday garments such as shirts, jackets, dresses, and trousers, contributing to wrinkle reduction and organized storage.
