Floor space in Australian laundries has been shrinking as apartments and townhouses get smaller. A space saving dryer stand in Australia solves this directly, lifting the dryer above the washing machine instead of placing it beside it. Britec Innovative Products has built its entire range around this single idea since 2009.
The exact space saved depends on your washing machine and dryer’s individual footprints, but the principle stays the same across every model. Instead of two appliances sitting next to each other, you end up with a single combined footprint roughly the size of the washing machine alone.
Actual clearance still depends on the stand’s legs and appliance dimensions. Measure the full room before assuming the entire second footprint becomes available. Leave working space for doors, hoses, ventilation, and servicing.
The reclaimed area can hold a basket or improve movement through the laundry. Avoid filling every new gap with bulky storage. Clear access often provides the greatest everyday benefit.
Britec offers different freestanding configurations because a top loader, a standard front loader and a confined laundry do not require the same solution.
Top & front loaders
An adjustable option for households that need clearance above a top loader or flexibility around a front loader.
Two-dryer solution
A vertical two-tier configuration created for households that need to organise more than one dryer above a front loader.
Front loaders
A front-loader solution designed to move into position more easily in laundries where access around the washing machine is limited.
Placing a washing machine and dryer side by side is the default setup in most homes, mainly because it’s simple. The trade-off is the amount of floor space it takes up, space that could otherwise hold a laundry basket, shelving, or just room to move.
Stacking the dryer above the washing machine on a freestanding frame solves this without needing any renovation work.
Different laundries need different approaches, so Britec offers several models built around this same core idea.
Here’s what’s currently available:
The Adjustable and Ultra models suit top and front loading washing machines. Both carry dryers weighing up to 80 kilograms. The Ultra adds an extra-low height option and two shelf positions.
Maxi models focus on front loading arrangements and carry up to 100 kilograms. The Maxi Adjustable accommodates wider appliances. The Glide-in Maxi helps with positioning inside confined laundries.
Because none of these stands need wall drilling, there’s no need to account for wall bracket clearance or committed fixtures. This also means the stand can be repositioned or taken with you if you move, rather than being tied to one specific wall.
Adjustable feet correct for uneven laundry floors, keeping the stand stable without needing any additional bracing or support.
The floor must still remain firm and structurally sound. Adjustable feet correct minor variations rather than damaged tiles or severe slopes. Finish levelling before placing the dryer on the shelf.
Freestanding designs also suit renters because they avoid permanent wall changes. The stand can move to another home when the new appliances and room remain compatible.
A space saving product still needs to be genuinely strong, not just compact. Britec has its stands SGS tested on the relevant models, verifying real structural performance under load.
A few other points worth knowing:
The anti-slip shelf helps reduce dryer movement during operation. Heavy-gauge steel provides the structural support. Correct assembly and adherence to the model’s safe load remain essential.
The five-year warranty excludes ordinary wear, accidents, negligence, modifications, and unintended use. Fire, flooding, and natural disaster damage also remain outside coverage.
A dryer stand solves the biggest chunk of the space problem, but a few smaller additions can help further. Detergent racks keep products off the floor, and a Washer Base can add clearance underneath the washing machine itself for a laundry basket, if raising the washer rather than the dryer suits your layout better.
Choose accessories according to the actual room rather than adding everything available. Storage must not block vents, outlets, hoses, or controls. Leave enough clearance for cleaning and routine appliance maintenance.
Measure baskets and detergent containers before assigning the reclaimed area. Keep loose items away from operating appliances. A clear walkway may provide more value than filling every available gap with storage.
Afterpay and Zip Money are both available at checkout, letting you spread the cost with no interest added. Shipping covers most of Australia through Australia Post or a selected courier, though deliveries can’t be sent to PO boxes.
If you’d rather see the footprint in person before buying, showroom pickup is available in Pemulwuy, New South Wales, and Ripley, Queensland, subject to stock. Installation is also offered in Sydney and Brisbane, generally costing between $120 and $200 depending on location.
A space saving dryer stand changes how much usable floor area your laundry actually has, without needing a renovation. With a range covering different washing machine types and weights, most Australian laundries can find a proper fit. Reach us today to talk through your setup and free up the space you need.
The value of a dryer stand is not simply that it holds an appliance. The design needs to work with the room, the washing machine and the way the household uses the laundry.
Freestanding
No wall brackets or drilling are required for the stand itself.
Adjustable setup
Selected models provide width, height or levelling adjustment.
Anti-slip shelf
Rubber shelf material is designed to reduce dryer movement and vibration.
Portable solution
A practical choice for renters and households planning future moves.
A simple process helps avoid fit issues and makes product selection much easier.
Record the available width, depth and height, including cabinets, doors and services.
Check machine dimensions, dryer weight and top-loader lid clearance where relevant.
Compare your measurements with Britec sizing guides and certified capacity.
Follow the model instructions or arrange professional installation in an available area.
Tony Kahale created the Dryer Stand after identifying a need for a more practical space-saving laundry solution.
The response to the original design led to Britec Innovative Products and an expanding range of home solutions. The company continues to develop products around common household problems, with customer conversations helping shape future designs.
Britec remains Australian owned and operated, with an in-house focus on product quality and personalised customer service.
