What are glass towel rails?
Glass towel rails are a contemporary and stylish alternative to more traditional ladder-style towel rails. They feature a tempered glass panel that sits flush against a wall with a series of horizontal bars perfect for hanging towels over. With their wide surface areas, towels are warm and dry in no time, and their striking aesthetic creates an interesting focal point particularly complementing modern design schemes.
What type of heat do they use?
Glass towel rails work through infrared, a type of radiation which heats objects from within. Infrared is a highly effective form of heat as it cannot be lost to airflow - it remains stable in objects regardless of the overall air temperature in a room. This makes infrared heat distinctly ideal for bathrooms and kitchens that are more susceptible to air temperature fluctuations from steam and cold gusts of air from opening windows and doors.
The benefits of glass towel rails
-
Unique Aesthetic
Glass towel rails sport a striking and innovative design, so your bathroom heating stands out from the crowd.
-
Independent Bathroom Heating
Glass towel rails can be operated independently of the rest of your home, perfect if heating one specific room is all that’s needed.
-
Space-Saving Design
Slender and tall, glass towel rails make use of the vertical length of a wall instead of its width - great if space is at a premium.
-
Lasting Heat
glass towel rails heat spaces on a deeper, more enduring level, so you can still feel their warmth even after switch-off.
-
Multi-Functional Heating
Warm your towels, heat your bathroom and prevent any unsightly mould all in one appliance.
-
Maintenance Free
No plumbing and bo annual checks are needed, making glass panels a fuss-free heating solution.
What makes them perfect for bathrooms?
Glass towel rails are ideal for bathrooms due to their multi-functional heating properties. They supply surrounding objects with natural, long-lasting heat, and dry and warm towels all at the same time. But unlike other heating solutions, their infrared technology makes them particularly useful for bathrooms as they warm the walls of a room, helping to combat mould and damp. Coming with at least an IP rating of IPX4, glass towel rails are protected from water splashes from all angles, making them safe for use in areas next to a bath or shower.
