The practice of smoothing cloth with an iron or some other flat object has been around for centuries. Electric irons were invented in the late 19th century, and are used all over the world. The technology for putting the ironing board and stowing it away in the wall has only become more common in average households in recent decades.

Built in ironing board cabinets can be custom made to work in nearly any situation. There are two main types of built in ironing boards that are normally offered: a built in cabinet for a new construction home or surface mount cabinet for an existing home.

Built in Ironing Board Cabinets

You can purchase a built in ironing board cabinet that is meant to be installed in a new house, and the ironing board cabinet will actually be placed inside the wall so that only an inch or two for the door frame remain on the outside of the wall. These cabinets are the ultimate space savers since your iron and board can actually be stowed within the confines of your wall, thus saving an extra few inches of your space. It also makes a great way to hide an ironing board behind a nice finished door, enabling you to install it in nearly any room without worrying about having to move the tacky folding metal ironing board out of a living area before guests come over to the house. It can simply and quickly fold up and weight inside the wall until the next use.

If you are still in the planning stages for your new house, it is a great idea to plan an extra outlet for your built in ironing board cabinet. When the ironing board cabinet is being installed the outlet can be placed inside of the cabinet so that you have the complete ironing center available for the most convenience possible.

Surface Mount Ironing Board

If you already have an existing, finished home, unless you are willing to do some remodeling work, the surface mount ironing board is the choice for you. It is an ironing board cabinet that is installed on the surface of your wall and can be placed in any room or location long after the completion of a house. If you have an outlet nearby on the wall at the same location as the ironing board cabinet it still provides the convenience of quick ironing access. You can still hide the ironing board a matching cabinet to the rest of the furniture in your room but it does use a few more inches of space in your room, as compared to a surface mount ironing board.

Organization in your laundry room is always a difficult task. In many cases the laundry room was the room that is the lowest in priority when planning to build a new house, which means the laundry room doesn't get the deluxe treatment like the master bedroom or kitchen probably received.

When Ray Haws, (owner of Haws Constructions Co.) was building homes, he included a Built-In Ironing Board at the prospective owner's request. He wasn't satisfied with what was being offered, so he started designing his own. In 1979 when interest rates skyrocketed to 23 & 24%, he decided it was time to slow the house building business. So, Ray with his wife Merna formed Ray-Mer Enterprises & started building and selling his Ironing Boards to shops, and closet companies.

Ray built the Ironing Board Cabinets & Merna made the pads and covers. Ray designed 4' & 5' models to acomodate limited space areas. They also built special units for special areas, including Motor Homes and Condo's. Ray & Merna also enjoyed doing Home Shows in Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Women (and also their Husbands), really enjoyed using the ironing boards, they were so easy to use. Just open the door, let the board down, iron & then pop it up in the cabinet & close the door. You didn't have to fold up the conventional type and find a place to store it. They fit on the wall or in between the 16" center studs, and added beauty and convenience to the wall.

Ray & Merna, by themselves, built and sold the units for the first 10 years. Then as the business grew to about 50 to 60 boards per month, it got to be too much for just them, so in 1990, Ray got a friend of his (John Jarvis), who had a cabinet shop, to build the units for him, so he could box, market & deliver them to the Businesses and Contractors that sold them to their customers. Merna got their daughter Sherrie, who was a seamstress, to help make the pads and covers.

By 1997, when Ray & Merna were approaching their 70's, they decided to sell the business and retire, before it was to late and do some traveling and enjoy things.

Late in 1997, they sold the business to Jonathan Hewett and his father, Russell Hewett. Jonathan used them in his Closet Co., and liked them very much. Now the business is owned and operated by Russell Hewett and his oldest son Michael Hewett.

Sherrie, their daughter, continues to make the pads and covers for the built-in ironing boards.

We and our customers feel they are the best and most functional wall mount ironing boards in the business, and are proud to offer them to the public.
