Heated Towel Rails

A heated towel rail or bathroom towel radiators is a bathroom feature designed to heat towels before they are used.

These come in five basic styles:

• Classic Style
• Victorian Style
• Contemporary Style
• Electric Only
• Stainless Steel

Fitting or installing heated towel rails can be a DIY job but please take very good care of all the plumbing connections you need to make. Fitting heated towel rails is usually done in the bathroom and they are usually installed instead of, or to replace a radiator. Towel rails today are exciting and excellent ranges of traditional, contemporary and funky designs are available. To fit a towel rail you will need to drain down your central heating system.

The best fitting  “how to” instruction can be found at DIY Doctor. This give a clear and straightforward instructions on how to install your heated towel rail.

If, however, you do not have a radiator in your bathroom but you would still like a towel radiator, electric towel radiators would be the one to purchase. They look exactly the same as those supported by your central heating system but unlike central heating towel rails these are filled with thermal transfer fluid. This fluid is then heated via an electric thermostatic heating element.

The heated towel rails offered in the marketplace currently are hugely user friendly and efficient. They normally allow the user to accurately control the temperature of the rail.
Unfortunately, the installation of this type of rail is not a DIY job due to regulations and will need to be connected up by a qualified electrician due to the fact that the bathroom is considered a special location.
