Hello!
I'm planning to lay a couple of layers of masonry blocks and then tile the foundation to place the washing machine on it. Does anyone have any tips or advice before I get started?
It seems simple, but as with everything else, it's surely more than you think.
(there’s always something, often there's a lot)
Best regards,

Hmm, thought it would be nice to get the machine to a better working height.
We have a foundation under the washing machine and dryer, I would guess it's a lecablock high, and it's perfect. You avoid having to bend over and there's room for a laundry bag under the doors. Wouldn't want to be without it. Why are you planning to remove your foundation?

There is a stand for washing machines available for purchase if you don’t want to bend your back. Alternatively, ask a metal workshop to make one with adjustable feet. The advantage is that you can clean under the machine where otherwise a cozy lint blanket accumulates over the years.
Hello!
I was also planning to cast a foundation for the machines when we renovated the laundry room, but I changed my mind and instead bought a steel pedestal at El-giganten. It raises the machine just as much and is more flexible if you need to rearrange the laundry room for any reason. However, I agree that a proper foundation looks more professional.

We are going to change the layout in the laundry room. The washing machine on the foundation is probably from the fifties, the new one stands next to it. Besides the washing machine, a bench with a sink (laundry...) has also got its own foundation, so we will have to remove it...wertok said:
It's preferable if you ever want to redo your laundry room. We have our machines on a welded construction that is then powder-coated, with adjustable feet. I think it looks really good, and it's easy to clean. Before we refurbished the laundry room, there was a foundation, which disappeared very quicklyimported_Benno said:
Yes, a framework might be the solution. And as mentioned, it can be tiled, great ideas!
Add double layers of, for example, marine plywood or truckbed plywood and glue-screw the layers, and it should be stable and good for tiles. The tip would probably be to place the bumpy side outward to get a good grip for the fix.
