When they first appeared in the 1890s, a towel radiator or heated towel rail was considered the pinnacle of luxury. These were first found in high-end hotels and then in the homes of the wealthy. They became more popular and less expensive as a result. Some of the original heated towel radiators are still in use over 100 years after they were installed.
Since their inception, towel radiators have advanced a lot. They were large and ungainly at the time, which was not something that most people could afford. They are stylish, affordable, and very efficient in drying towels and keeping your bathroom warm and comfortable.
A heated towel rail is an alternative to traditional radiators.
Many homeowners are replacing their bathroom radiators with modern, stylish and efficient towel radiators. People often wonder if a towel heater will give the same warmth, especially in winter.
It will. However, it will need to be properly sized. It is also important to consider where it will be placed.
A small hand towel rail wouldn't be sufficient to heat a typical family bathroom. However, a large towel rack that can accommodate towels for the whole family and is sized to the space should suffice.
Towel radiators take up less space
Towel radiators have a significant advantage over regular radiators in terms of their size. Because they are vertically oriented, they take up less space horizontally. This will have an impact on the size and heat output of the radiators you can fit in a small bathroom. There are many styles and designs available. Many of these are designed for small spaces or difficult spaces.
How big a towel radiator do I need?
You can choose from a variety of contemporary and traditional towel radiators. You can choose from a range of sizes, making them a great choice for any bathroom. These tiles are often used in bathrooms with unusual shapes.
It is easy to choose the right towel radiator in your bathroom. First, consider the dimensions of your bathroom. Also, consider the insulation and size of your bathroom windows. Are the windows single- or double-glazed?
Another consideration is the number of people who will be using the radiator to put their towels. The radiator's heat output is reduced by towels, which absorb some heat. This means that less heat will be available to heat your bathroom. You will need a radiator with sufficient output to heat your bathroom if you have a large family.
You will need to calculate the British thermal unit (BTU) for your bathroom to be certain that the towel radiator is big enough. Each towel rail comes with a BTU number. This number will show you how efficient it can heat your bathroom.
You'll end up spending too much on heating or having a cold bathroom if you don't calculate the towel rail size you will need.
How to calculate your bathroom's BTU
Calculating the BTU of your bathroom is easy. First, measure the length, width, height and length of your bathroom in meters. Keep track of all these measurements. The measurements for the window will need to be taken. This is done by multiplying the height by width. This measurement should be taken.
Now you should have four measurements. Add the measurements for the whole room to get the height, width and length. Add this number to the measurements of the windows. This is your bathroom's BTU number.
A towel radiator will be as warm and as efficient as a traditional radiator?
Towel radiators will not produce as much heat as conventional radiators, especially when they are laden with towels. If you calculate the BTU value of your bathroom and make sure the towel rail is the right size, you can heat up your room comfortably.
To maximize the efficiency of your towel radiator's heating system, be sure to remove towels from it when they are dry. Then store them somewhere in your bathroom.
Towel rails are quicker to heat than traditional radiators, so your bathroom will be warm and cosy in no time.
Towel radiators make the perfect heating solution for your bathroom.
Towel radiators are versatile, efficient, stylish, and a great way to heat your bathroom and keep your towels dry and warm. You can rest assured that your towel radiator will keep your bathroom warm and cosy, even in the coldest temperatures.
