Stud Spacing and Blocking for In-Wall Ironing Centers. Compare product fit, specifications, quality evidence, installation needs, and B2B purchasing.
Dimensions & Installation
Direct answer: Recessed ironing centers are sized for 2×4 stud bays at 16 in on centre, giving a clear bay of roughly 14-1/2 in; in walls framed at 24 in on centre or where a stud lands in the way, the installer adds blocking or a framed box to create the opening, plus a 2×4 cross-support cleat under the cabinet. Confirm the wall is not load-bearing and carries no services before cutting.
