Palladium glissee

Iron is an indispensable assistant to every housewife. To date, its appearance has significantly changed compared to its analogues 20 years ago, and technical data has been improved. But the function of the iron remains the same - effective ironing. But even the most modern iron with a huge number of additional options makes no sense if its sole does not slide well on the material. The sole of the iron is its most important part, and current manufacturers offer an innovative option - palladium glissee. How profitable will be the purchase of household appliances with such a coating and whether it justifies itself - we will deal with this in this article.

Soles for the iron - classic and modern

Let's see what soles are. This will help to understand whether palladium glissee is really such a unique option.

So, an alternative could be:

• Steel - the sole is durable and wear-resistant, warms up well and evenly, and also holds the temperature. There are pure steel, nickel and chrome varieties. Often there are models with a combined sole; alloys of steel with aluminum or steel with titanium are used. As a rule, over time, this material may rust, and due to scratches, the sliding effect decreases, which is fundamentally important for the iron.
• Cermets - the sole has a good slip, high wear resistance, heats evenly, but very fragile.
• Aluminum - the sole heats up quickly and cools down. However, it is easily deformed and scratched. Leaves shiny marks on the fabric. This is usually an inexpensive budget option.
• Polymers - most often Teflon, are lightweight, non-stick properties and ease of sliding. Often used in travel irons. But the surface is very susceptible to scratches, therefore, with careless handling, the iron may become unusable.

Combined materials - versed in names

Modern soles have their own names, consider the main ones:

• Cera glissee - made of aluminum coated with special durable enamel. Glides on fabric perfectly. Scratch resistant. It evenly warms up and distributes steam over the surface.
• Palladium glissee - a combination of steel with a special ceramic coating. Increased glide. The presence of steam channels.
• Granit glissee - stainless steel coated with superhard enamel with special additives. Resistant to scratches and chips. Perfect glide. Perfectly cleansed.
• Inox glissee is a high pressure stainless steel base. It has high hardness. Scratch resistant. Flawless glide.
• Inox is a combination of highly thermally conductive aluminum and robust stainless steel. Easy glide. Scratch resistant. Stainless and easy to clean.
