Towel rails: a bathroom essential
There was a time when the only way you could dry a towel in your bathroom
was to hang it over the bath and hope for the best. When the weather was bad, it
could be impossible to keep your towels dry, and this meant changing the towels
almost every day. Those times are no long gone, since the simple installation of
a towel rail in the bathroom will make sure that your towels a dry at all times.
These type of towel rails - commonly known as heated towel rails - are very
popular in some countries, especially Europe, but they are now gaining more
popularity in the US. The two main types of heated towel rails are ones heated
by electricity, or ones heated due to the effect of hot water, which makes the
towel rail a bit like a hot water radiator. The good thing about the hot water
radiator type of heated towel rail is that it can also help to keep your
bathroom warm. The good thing about these, of course, is that the towels are not
only dry when you use them, but also extremely warm - making for an extra touch
of luxury in your bathroom.
The type of towel rail that you install will be very much determined by the type
of heating that you have in your house. If you want a towel rail that is heated
by hot water, then you probably already have a central heating system in the
house which uses this type of heating. In this case, all it will be is a case of
putting an extra bit of pipe work to run the water through your towel rail.
However, if the heating in your house is essentially one that is run on
electricity, then a towel rails that uses electricity for heat is probably your
best choice. If you use a towel rail that uses hot water, then it's probably a
good idea to hire a professional plumber to make sure that the towel rail is
plumbed in properly. The last thing you want is to have a towel rail in which
the heat is intermittent, and ending up with half- dry towels. The same goes for
an electric towel rail. In this case it is probably a very good idea to hire a
professional electrician to make sure that the installation is done to the
highest standards of safety. As you are no doubt aware, electricity and water
I'm not a good mix, and this is essential that the electrical work is done to a
high standard.
If you have an electric towel rail, a nice accessory could be a time switch.
This could be set to come on overnight for a few hours, and then come on during
the day for a few hours. This would ensure that the towels dried overnight and
are nice and dry for the morning, and would also ensure that the towels dry
during the day so that they were ready for when you came home from work in the
evening.
It's used to be a case that a heated towel rail was seen as a luxury. But no
longer. With many different types of towel rails available on the market there's
sure to be one to suit the design of your bathroom and a budget of your pocket.
And once you have one installed you can say goodbye to those damp towels once
and for all.
