Nothing beats the feeling of a warm fluffy towel on a cold day. Heated towel rails and racks are a sought-after and affordable bathroom luxury and are handy in summer too.

Heated towel rails – affordable indulgence for every bathroom

Electric heated towel rails and racks have come a long way. Gone are the days of towel rails connected to gas central heating or hydronic heating systems. Modern heated towel rails and racks are energy efficient and easy to install, making them an affordable luxury for every bathroom.

Heated towel rails – why every bathroom needs one

A heated towel rail not only gently heats up towels, but it can warm up the bathroom temperature, reduce condensation and add an element of style to any bathroom. Available in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes and easy to install, heated towel rails and racks are a stylish and sought-after bathroom feature.

Are heated towel rails energy efficient?

Yes. Electric heated towel rails have independent operating systems and can be connected to thermostats and switches to only heat up when you require them. Aquaperla ONDA towel rails and racks are energy-saving and low carbon, using the world’s latest electric technology. Power consumption is equivalent to an ordinary 40W light with an optional smart timing socket to reduce power usage by approximately 75%. Towels dried on heated racks don’t need to be washed as regularly as towels on non-heated rails. Cutting down on washing can reduce laundry time and water usage. You can also cut down on your energy bill by skipping the dryer in summer. Swimming gear and underwear dry quickly on electric towel racks.

Are heated towel rails useful in summer too?

Heated towel rails and racks are just as useful in summer as they are in winter. Despite the name, electric towel racks are designed to dry more than warm. Air-drying towels in humid conditions can be difficult as towels can stay damp from the previous day. With Aquaperla’s ONDA towel rails and racks, we recommend dropping the temperature down on hot days and bumping it back up when winter rolls around again.

Do heated towel rails help prevent mould?

Towels can become pungent any time of year, but summer humidity can cause bath and beach towels to attract mould more quickly. A hot shower with the fan can still produce a lot of moisture which inevitably leads to mould. Unless your bathroom is well ventilated, a heated towel rack is the best way to ensure towels stay mould-free all year round.

What are the most popular styles and finishes?

With so many styles and sizes of heated towel rails and racks available, the Aquaperla website is the best place to start. Racks come with 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 bars in square or round styles. Choose from chrome, black, matte black and brushed nickel. Stock is constantly changing so please ask our friendly team to show you our latest products.
