Heated Towel Rails

After a nice warm shower, who wants to step out into a cold, steamy bathroom and pick up a cold clammy towel to dry? That's one experience that belongs back with the dunking chair and the stocks. You can have hot, fluffy towels after every bath or shower once you've installed one of our heated towel rail systems. Whether you choose an electric model-fast, hot, and reliable-or a hot water unit-economical and safest for wet locations-there's less sensory overload in your future with a heated towel rail system.

Heated towel rails can also dry wet towels, which is helpful if you have a lot of bathroom traffic. Too, if you want your kids to like bath time better, what quicker way than to present them with a nice, toasty towel after they've gotten out of a warm relaxing bath?

The hot water heated towel rail hooks directly to your household plumbing or runs off a separate pump and circulating system for use in the warmer months. There are no dangerous electrical hookups and no need for special ground fault protection hardware. If your air conditioner has a provision for waste heat recovery, so much the better-your hot water system can run your heated towel rail for almost nothing.

Electric heated towel rails warm up rapidly, and deliver hot towels faster. Modern wiring with ground fault interrupters is a must, but new low-wattage models using diathermic oil heat transfer are much safer and more efficient than direct resistence heated towel rails. Many models come with timers so your towels can be warm before you start your bath or shower. Free-standing plug-in heated towel rails are also available and add portability and convenience.

Although heated towel rails are a bathroom fixture, why not install one of our smaller washcloth or hand towel units in your kitchen? You can dry dishtowels and dishrags rapidly and in a clean, sanitary manner. A heated towel rail in the foyer by an entry door would be a wonderful place to dry those clingy, clammy soaked clothes(but not rubber or plastic raingear).

Heated towel rails aren't just for towels. In cold wet climes, it is a pleasure little short of sybaritic to step into pre-warmed smallclothes and outergarments right off the heated towel rail. Excess heat from a heated towel rail can also take the chill off a small bathroom without the need of a space heater, eliminating any need for more hazardous plug-ins and gas piping.

While you consider the great comfort and luxury of a heated towel rail, why stop there? We have heated shaving mirrors that run off the hot water from your shower head-no more patchy shaves because you couldn't see that irritating clump of beard you always seem to miss. You don't even have to step out onto bone-chilling tiles if you install an electric floor warming system under your bathroom floor. Our heated towel rails are just the first step in your integrated luxury bathroom experience!
