Traditional Towel Rails

What are the benefits of traditional towel radiators?

• Classic styling: Victorian and Edwardian-inspired designs complement period features and vintage-style bathrooms.
• Practical towel storage: Rails and column-style designs provide space to hang and warm towels.
• Choice of installation: Depending on the model, choose from wall-hung or floor-standing options.
• Versatile finishes: Chrome, white, black, brushed brass and other finishes help you coordinate your radiator with your bathroom fittings.

 

Do traditional towel radiators heat the bathroom as well as warm towels?

Yes, traditional towel radiators can provide enough warmth for your bathroom while also offering space to hang and warm towels. Heat output varies by model and size, so compare BTU ratings to find an option suited to your room. 

Our BTU guide can help you calculate the output you need.

 

What size traditional towel radiator should I choose?

The right size depends on how much heat your bathroom needs, the available wall space and how many towels you want to hang. 

Compare the dimensions and BTU output of each model you’re considering. Remember to also account for any exposed pipework and the space needed around floor-standing designs.

 

Do traditional towel radiators come with valves and fittings?

Sometimes, but this varies by product, so check the listing before ordering. You may need to buy your radiator valves and other fittings separately. 

Traditional towel radiators often feature exposed pipework as part of their classic aesthetic, so check whether your pipes enter through the wall or floor and choose compatible valves and fittings that complement your chosen finish.
