Adding Dual Fuel Towel Rails To Your Bathroom
Dual fuel heated towel rails are highly popular for a number of reasons. In this blog post, we are going to take you through the different factors to consider when choosing this type of radiator for your bathroom.
As you have probably gathered by the name, they can be heated via two different sources, i.e. your main heating system or electronically. This ensures you benefit from the highest level of efficiency, as it means your bathroom can be heated up without you needing to turn the full central heating system on. They are practical and heat up at a rapid speed.
Not only are these radiators effective, but they are beautifully designed and fashionable as well. They can act as a striking design piece, adding style to your bathroom area.
In order to narrow down your search effectively use our following guide…
Step One: Determine what size of towel rail you need
It is likely that you will have a space in mind for your towel rail. Make sure you measure this to determine what size towel rail you need. Towel rails typically range from 450 mm to 1700 mm in height and from 300 mm to 700 mm in width, so you can be certain you will find the right size for you.
Step Two: What style of towel rail do you require?
This depends on your personal taste and the current style of your bathroom.
Modern – Sleek and striking, modern towel rails can be a real statement piece.
Traditional – There are lots of conventional and ornate designs for those seeking a traditional towel rail design.
Step Three: Choose a finish
The two main options at most stores for this range are chrome and stainless steel.
Chrome – Do you have a small bathroom? Perhaps it is an awkward shape? If so, chrome is a great option to consider. A chrome towel rail will reflect light, which makes the bathroom appear more spacious. It also works great with contemporary styles.
Stainless Steel – Stainless steel towel rails present many benefits. They look stylish and elegant, whilst also boasting a high level of heat conductivity. They are easy to maintain as well.
Step Four: Determining what BTU output you need
You need to take into account the size of your bathroom and what type of windows you have in order to determine the BTU output you need. You can actually find BTU calculators online to give you a helping hand.
Step Five: Extra Features
The final consideration is whether you want a dual radiator that comes with any extra features, such as silent operation. Soundproof Living has some great tips and advice on other steps you can take to soundproof your bathroom, including investing in quiet flush toilets.
So there you have it: an insight into dual fuel radiators and the different factors that you should consider when you are looking for the best radiator for your bathroom. We hope this helps you on your search!
