Towel Radiators
For many years now Europeans have been enjoying the pleasure of not only having a warm, cosy bathroom but also enjoying warmed towels and bathrobes when they slip out of the shower. The fascinating option of installing towel radiators in the bathroom is catching on all around the world now, especially in cooler climate countries.
Not only are towel radiators used to heat towels, but they also provide a great space-saving way to heat up your bathroom. The radiant heat that emanates from these heaters provides a steady, even heat. They aren’t only limited to being used in a bathroom either, but can also be used in kitchens, laundry rooms and other hard to heat locations such as hallways and landings. Because they are so compact, hugging close to the wall, they are perfect for area where space is limited.
There are many different styles of towel radiators. One type of electric radiator has heated panels at the back, and a towel rack coming out from it. Others have heated panels set in wide sections, providing space for a towel to hang over the different sections.
When looking into buying towel radiators, you do need to look for quality units. Cheaper towel radiators may have limited heating surface areas, heat may be distributed unevenly and you may end up with hot spots which can even damage your towels. Prices also vary depending on the amount of control you have over the unit, and towel radiators that allow you to adjust the temperature settings are often a little more expensive than the the straightforward, ‘no controls’ units.
Towel radiators are usually available in a variety of different sizes, and they are also available in different colors, so they can match any room’s décor. They are also available in as designer models too, with some featuring very modern designs. They are not only useful items to have, but they also make exceptionally welcome house warming gift ideas, something practical yet that may not be bought immediately by new home owners.
Flat Panel Towel Radiators
Flat panel towel radiators come in different sizes, both the actual radiator and the panels. Flat panels are heated, and 
you simply hang your towel over these heated flat panels. Or, in some instances the panels are heated and hooks are set along the top of the panels, so you can hang your towel on the hook instead of directly over the panels.
Electric units offer different options. Some are directly wired into the electricity, others are directly wired but also offer a heat control option, and the third type is made to plug into an electrical socket, and it also has heat control options.
Common sizes for flat panel towel radiators are 16 to 24 inches, though some hydronic flat panel towel radiators can be as large as 36 inches wide.
Round Tube Towel Radiators
In place of the flat panels, instead there are round heated tubes attached to the radiator. These tubes are spaced to allow a towel or other item to hang directly over the tubes and thus get nice and warm.
These also come in differing sizes, ranging anywhere from 28 inches high to 45 inches high. The width of the units are usually around 23 to 29 inches.
Great for heating up bathrooms and other small rooms, and for keeping your towels dry and warm, the towel radiators are a great little appliance to add to any home. Once you install one you will wonder what you ever did without it.
