About this asset

This traditional timber ceiling clothes airer Revit family models a classic pulley-operated hanging laundry drying rack with cast metal ends. The model features four longitudinal timber laths slotted through dual cast-iron rack end brackets. A twin-pulley suspension system supports the wooden rails from the ceiling plane, connected by realistic rope geometry that extends down to a wall cleat hook. Proportions follow standard Victorian clothes drying racks, displaying accurately spaced dowel battens and cast detailing on the bracket guides. Material definitions separate the warm natural timber slats, dark iron metalwork, and braided suspension cord, providing clear visual differentiation in both shaded views and realistic perspective renderings.

The download is a 1.2 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Engineered for native integration within Revit projects, this family can be placed within utility rooms and sculleries. Users can adjust placement heights relative to ceiling finish levels and align the rope cleat against adjacent wall surfaces. Material parameters allow easy mapping of custom timber stains and metal finishes in project schedules, supporting coordinated laundry joinery packages and technical interior elevations without adding unneeded polygon weight.

Frequently specified for residential renovations, period restorations, barn conversions, and rustic farmhouse interiors, this ceiling airer suits dedicated utility spaces, laundry rooms, boot rooms, and back kitchens. Specifiers and interior architects commonly seek terms such as Sheila Maid, ceiling clothes horse, Victorian laundry drying rack, or suspended pulley airer when detailing heritage domestic service spaces. The asset pairs seamlessly with traditional Belfast sinks, shaker-style cabinetry, and flagstone floor finishes.
