Considerations When Buying A Heated Towel Rail

I don't know if you feel the same way, but it is difficult for me to get out of my shower on a cold winter morning.

Before I had a warm, cozy towel waiting in my heated bathroom. For a variety of reasons, heated towel rails are

increasingly popular among homeowners. They look great, keep towels and bathrooms warm, and they can also

reduce condensation. There are many heated towel rails available on the market. They come in a range of prices,

including low-cost and high-end models. They can be wired or plugged directly into your bathroom. There are so

many options available that it can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you make a decision.

Towel rails with electric motor

These heated towel rails can be heated using electric heating. There is a reason. An alternative to electric is a rail

that connects to the gas central heating or hydronic system. These rails are inefficient and costly to operate because

they only work when the whole system is turned on. The electric towel rails, on the other hand, are separate systems

that can be connected with thermostats and switches to determine when it should heat up.

Material used to make heated towel rails

You can make heated towel rails from many materials. You can choose from stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum

and aluminum. Towel rails are mainly made of stainless steel or chrome. Some designer rails may be made from

aluminum. Modern bathrooms also love heated towel rails that are matte black.

Stainless steel

Towel rails made of stainless steel are very popular. Although they are very energy-efficient and retain heat well,

they can easily be damaged by fingers. The availability of designer rails that use different materials may make

stainless steel less popular.

Chrome

For modern and minimalist rooms, chrome is a popular choice. Chrome is a durable material that will last for a

long time, but it can crack and bubble from constant heat pressure.

Aluminum

Towel rails made of aluminum are relatively new on the market. The aluminum towel rail is stylish and efficient due

to its high thermal conductivity.

There are many types of heated towel rails

The Ladder Rail

The ladder rail is the most popular type of rail available, as you might be aware. Heater ladder rails are replacing

non-heated towel rails all over the globe. You can choose from a wide range of sizes, colours and shapes to make it

easy for you to find the right one for your home. They can be mounted on the wall and look great in small bathrooms

with limited floor space.

Individually heated rails

Individual rails are a stylish alternative to ladder rails and can be customized to fit your bathroom perfectly. The

connector strips in the wall allow for individual mounting of the rails, giving them floating effects.

Unique Designer Rails

Companies are becoming more creative in designing bold heated towel rails as the market for them grows. 

Free Standing Rails

These rails allow you to move your rail around. These rails are easy to set up because they plug directly into an outlet.

Different types of wiring

You can either plug in or wire heated towel rails. Some companies offer both.

Towel rails that are hard-wired

Because they are part of your home's electrical system, qualified electricians must install them. The wires running

through your wall are invisible when the rail is hard-wired. You can turn them on and off with a switch.

Plug in

The heated towel rail plugs in to the wall like any other appliance. These rails can be used immediately and are a

cost-effective option. They aren't as secure as a hard-wired one. They don't look nearly as neat. Plug-in units are

not as neat.

Timers and thermostats

You can set the temperature at which your towel stays, and the rail will stay at that temperature.

The timer can be used for both plug-in and hard-wired systems, depending on the product. A timer allows your rail

to turn on automatically every day. This means you won't have to worry about getting a towel warm after a shower.

Dimensions of the towel rail

• There are a few factors that can affect the size of your heated towel rail:

• How many people use the bathroom (and how many towels are available)

How big is your bathroom?

A large rail is a good choice if you have a large family and a huge bathroom. You can dry more towels if you have

a longer rail. They can be used to dry wet bathers. However, you should remember that the bigger the rail, the more

energy it consumes. To save space and money, you might be better off buying a smaller rail if you have only one or

two people.
