What do Heated Towel Rails do?
The towel rail is used to heat up and in some cases dry the towel. The reason that these are so popular is that of the warmth factor.

Your rejuvenating shower has just been ruined and now you are miserable.
Now we play that scenario out with a heated towel warmer rail installed. You finish your toasty warm shower and step out into your bathroom.

Fixed fitting heated rails are by far the most popular choice and very common for the simple fact that they sit nicely against the wall. Always plan your heated towel rail to be placed in a position that is close to the shower, this is to get the most from the towel rail heat system.

Let’s look at power consumption when running the towel rails. You can buy timers that work with your heat rail to reduce run time and reduce costs. Measuring the power consumption with gas supplied rails use BTU’s or British Thermal Units to measure usage.
Do you want to run one of these heat rack systems;
- Electric Towel Rails
- Gas Supplied Towel Rails
Once you have selected the type of power source for your towel rack it’s easy to work out the rough estimate of consumption. Larger bathrooms or bathrooms with multiple windows can reduce the heating quality of the towel heater rack. Taking into account the size of the bathroom and the extra factors you can judge how many BTU’s you will use.
If you don’t have the slightest clue what BTU’s you will consume by using a heated towel rail we are just on the other end of the phone, call us for expert assistance.
Pro Tip: If you have multiple bathrooms or en-suites and use towel rails, remember to double the estimated usage. Simple tip but we find many people with multiple heat rails don’t multiply the power estimates.
Does This Affect the Towel Quality?
Your towels are not toasted, each time you heat the towel it warms up and provides you with a toasty feeling when using it. The towel doesn’t burn or get crusty if you continue to heat the towel rail while it's on the holding rack.
Every modern bathroom should include a luxurious towel heater to pamper after every shower.
