Curved Electric Towel Rails

A controllable towel rail is highly recommended if you intend to use it often, whether for whole room heating or for towel warming. Thermostatic controllers give you the option of adjusting the output of your bathroom heater to suit the weather and save energy in the process – turn it down during the height of summer for minimal warmth or enjoy its full heating capabilities in winter for toasty towels. You may also find towel rails with a timer function useful if you think you might forget to switch it off when heat is no longer needed. By using the timer function on towel rails (also known as ‘drying’ or ‘eco’ functions) you can set your towel rail to run for a restricted period of time without having to worry about wasting energy.

On the other hand, if you tend to use your towel rails infrequently, a manual model may offer all the basic control you need. This may be the case for guest bathrooms or cloakrooms that only need on/off functionality, so the choice is entirely yours.

Curved towel rails do offer some extra benefits due to their shape. The increased surface area of the curved rungs means that they provide a little more heat output compared to a standard straight ladder rail. Another benefit is that the curved rungs are slightly more generous when it comes to accommodating bulkier, fluffier towels, which can be convenient for busy family bathrooms.

Straight towel rails also have their own benefits – their sleek, low-profile faces usually make them the preferable choice in bathrooms with limited space. Whichever style you prefer, both straight and curved electric towel rails make excellent bathroom heating solutions; be sure to browse our full range to find the size and style that’s perfect for your home.
