Towel Radiators – Our Pick of the Best
Looking for the perfect towel radiator? From traditional to contemporary there are plenty of towel radiators and rails to choose from
Towel radiators and rails come in all shapes and specifications. If you just want something that will heat your bathroom, go for a traditional radiator design.

From fabulous Victorian-style designs (that come complete with traditional valves and ball joints) to super-funky modern versions , there are plenty of great towel rails on the market. Most come with the option to add valves so they have the functionality of proper heating. Take a look at our pick of the best...
