With so many new and stylish designs radiators and towel rails have become somewhat of a designer product people no longer just buy radiators to heat their homes but also to improve the look of their homes. The traditional heated towel rail started life as just the hot water pipes that run through the bathroom. As a practical way to warm up your towels before getting out of the bath people would place them over the hot water pipes as often as not there would not be any heating in the bathroom. As central heating systems have taking storm and radiators are found in nearly every home across the UK so towel rails has increased in popularity.

Now you are able to choose from many different designs however the same basic principle is true for all towel rails and that is they are designed to be fitted in bathrooms to heat up not only the bathroom but your towels too.

The advantage nowadays is that you can have your towel rails run both through the central heating system and through an electric by pass, meaning that you do not have to have your central heating system on to enjoy a nice warm bath with your warm towel rails blazing. This is a good way of reducing your fuel bills too as towel rails maybe required more often that your whole central heating system. When choosing your towel rails another distinct advantage is to have a thermostatic control so as you can control what temperature your towel rails are.
