Heat Your Bathroom Ant Towels with an Electric Towel Rail
In general, heated towel rails are not designed to be a primary sourceof heat, and when they are covered in towels the heat is actuallyinsulated away from the room. However, if space is tight and there is noroom for a separate bathroom radiator, choose the largest size you cancomfortably accommodate, or better still, pick a model that comes within integrated radiator. A heating engineer will advise you as to theoutput you require for the size of room, etc.
Where to position you heated towel rail
If your heated towel rail is a secondary heat source, it really doesn’tmatter. Bear in mind though that electric models require wiring to afuse spur external of the bathroom parameters and are designed to be’splash-proof’ but shouldn’t be soaked. If your towel rail is yourprimary source of heat, place it on the largest external wall.
Brass is best
Many heated towel rails come in brass or steel options. Although brassis always the more expensive option, it will generally out-live a steelmodel ten fold as it doesn’t corrode. This makes it more cost-effectivein the long run as well as providing a far superior finish. If you areplanning to live with your new towel rail for any length of time, buybrass if you can possibly stretch to it. It is important to have as muchinformation as possible before buying quality electrical supplies.
