Heated Towel Rails

The use of heated towel racks in bathrooms of all sizes and shapes is becoming more popular. More companies are coming out with options of heated towel racks from the fancy to the basic. All heated towel racks offer a spa like feel for the bathroom and makes the user of the warmed towels feel extra special.

At their very basic, heated towel racks are wall mounted or free-standing towel racks with an element designed to warm the towel as the towel rests on the rail or holder. They can be simple to install or can require a professional - the options are almost endless.

Free-standing

These models are typically heated with electric elements which means they can be left running all day - every day. The greatest feature is that these racks can be moved to where ever you might need them because they are simply plugged into the nearest wall socket to power them up.

Wall-mounted

These are rails that are permanently attached to the wall which will free up floor space in a bathroom that is already quite limited. You can find rails that are plugged into the wall or that are directly hardwired into the existing electrical system.

Water Heated

Not all models of heated towel rails are warmed with electricity. Some of them use water. If this is the model that you are choosing then it is best to employ a plumbing expert to do the installation.
