What is the difference between a coat hook and a robe hook?

A coat hook is designed to bear the weight of heavy outerwear such as coats and jackets, and is generally more robust and larger in projection. A robe hook is smaller and intended for lighter items such as dressing gowns and towels, making it the standard choice for bathrooms and bedrooms.

What is a hat and coat hook?

A hat and coat hook features two hooks at different heights on a single backplate - a higher hook for hats and a lower hook for coats or bags. They are a traditional ironmongery choice and are commonly used in hallways, cloakrooms, and entrance areas.

How far apart should coat hooks be spaced?

As a general guide, space individual coat hooks 200mm to 300mm apart when mounting a row. This allows enough room for bulkier coats to hang without overlapping. For children's hooks, a lower fixing height of around 900mm to 1000mm from the floor is practical alongside a standard adult height of 1500mm to 1700mm.

Can wall hooks be fitted to the back of a door?

Yes, many single and double coat hooks are well suited to back-of-door installation. Check the projection of the hook before fitting -- a hook with too deep a projection may prevent the door from closing flush with the frame when items are hanging.

Which finish is best for bathroom robe hooks?

In bathrooms, opt for solid brass hooks or hooks with a high-quality plated or PVD finish, as these resist corrosion in humid conditions more reliably than painted or lower-grade finishes. Polished chrome, brushed nickel, and matt black PVD are all popular and hardwearing options for bathroom hooks.
