What is the purpose of a towel rail?
A towel radiator, also known as a heated towel rail, is a system that warms your towels so that you have a nice cosy towel to use when you step out of the bath or shower. It is also used to dry your towels and can be used to warm a bathroom.
Do towels dry better on hooks or rails?
Towels generally dry faster on hooks than on bars. This is because hanging towels on hooks allows for better airflow around the fabric, which promotes evaporation. When towels are laid flat on bars, they may have less exposure to air circulation, especially if they are bunched up.
What can I use instead of a towel rack?
Wall-mounted hooks: If you're allowed to drill into the walls, you can install hooks or pegs for towels. Removable adhesive hooks are also an option if you want to avoid permanent fixtures. Towel bars or rails: You can use tension rods between two walls in a corner or along a wall for a makeshift towel bar.
Does a bathroom need a towel rail?
Towels are also great collectors of damp and mould when left for too long, but this is where towel radiators come into their own. By helping to dry damp towels, a heated towel rail can also help to prevent mould and damp from forming on the walls and other areas in your bathroom.
