Modern Towel Radiators

Towel rails and towel radiators have come much further than the olden days. With modern technology and optimised designs, many towel radiators can heat your space. This includes our towel rails too. But it is recommended that you look for a large bathroom radiator if your space is large. To find out if a towel rail is enough to heat your room, use our BTU calculator to find out the BTU output required to heat your space. Once you’ve done this, you can look for the perfect towel radiator for you.

The two main materials involved in the making of our huge range of modern towel radiators are:

• Stainless steel towel radiators - These are super durable and are excellent heat conductors. They heat up quickly and retain heat for a long time, keeping your room warm even after your central heating system has switched off.
• Aluminium towel radiators – Aluminium is environmentally responsible, very efficient and make a unique style statement. Do you like the idea of metal but prefer the sustainability of something that will last and can eventually be recycled for reuse? If so, aluminium towel rails are for you.

Modern towel rails, when compared to traditional ones, have an improved design which creates a more efficient heating unit. This isn’t to say our more traditional designs aren’t efficient but a newer design usually means a more efficient design.

We have a vast array of modern towel rails in various styles, colours and sizes. All of our modern towel radiators are crafted with high quality materials and come with exceptional heat outputs, so it’s down to style and what suits you. Below are some of our best selling modern towel radiators to give you an idea of what options there are.

If you're looking for a modern towel radiator that can be used in any room then we recommend you take a look at the Terma Stand Towel Radiator. It has a gorgeous modern grey finish and can be installed with wooden shelving to turn it into a useful shelf towel radiator. Not only can it heat your room and warm your towels, but it can also hold ornaments so this grey towel radiator is a lovely piece for not only bathrooms, but living rooms and hallways too.

If you're placing a towel radiator in your space to heat your room, you’ll want to look at installing your towel rail on the coldest wall in your room, or near the window (usually the coldest wall is the one with a window). Installing a towel radiator here will help distribute the heat around your room. If you're placing your heated towel rail in your bathroom then it's also recommended to place it closer to your bath or shower so towels are easy to reach.

At DRD we have a wide selection of towel radiators that are either;

• Central Heating Radiators - Central heating towel rails are connected to your pipes and heat through your boiler.
• Electric Towel Radiators - These can be plugged into your mains and can run separately from the central heating system. Many come with energy saving features, various heat settings and smart technology.
• Dual-Fuel Towel Radiators - dual-fuel towel rails can work through electric and central heating.
