Let’s face it, nobody likes damp towels. This is exactly why towel
warmers, or towel radiators, were invented over 100 years ago! Towel
warmers provide a gentle warmth in your bathroom and can keep
your towels toasty. One of the easiest ways to create a spa-like experience
in your bathroom is to bring home a modern towel warmer, by
Myson.
Who doesn’t love the luxury of a warm fluffy and warm towel? Modern
heated towel rails are an energy-efficient and affordable way to dry
towels and keep your bathroom inviting and comfortable, even in the
colder months.
Towel warmers can plug right into the wall outlet and can be bolted
to your wall to hide any dangling wires, and they can be controlled by
a timer, remote, or thermostat. There are two ways to effectively keep
your linens warm: by using a radiator-type warmer, a hydronic unit
(heated by hot water), or by purchasing an electric model.
Ultimately, all of these devices are essentially a radiator as they slowly
radiate heat that either warms or dries your towels.
Do you really need any additional convincing to buy a towel radiator?
If so, and want to learn more, here are 5 undisputable reasons why
you shouldn’t think twice before buying one!
Keeping your bathroom warm and cozy
From freestanding models to space-saving wall cabinets, these drying
rails are available in a variety of finishes, including polished and
brushed stainless steel and white or oil-polished bronze. An effective
combination to keep your bathroom warm and dry is a fan in combination
with a towel warmer.
For family bathroom, a floor-mounted towel rack usually comes with
multiple bars, allowing different family members to hang their damp
towels and knick-knacks on their own bar or rack.
Not only are towel warmers ideal for warming your towels, but they
also produce radiant heat and are perfect for taking the chill out of
the air as you step out of a warm bath or shower into the comfort of
your warm and luxurious feeling bathroom.
Keeping mold away
Good ventilation in your bathroom is very important. A few things
can ruin the feeling of a hot bath, one would be entering an icy bathroom.
An additional radiant heat source from a towel warmer not only
makes your bathroom more comfortable, but when combined with a
bathroom exhaust fan, it can also make the air in your bathroom less
humid and penetrating, drying wet linens and reducing the presence
of mold and mildew.
Towel warmers provide fresh air while sniffing out unnecessary moisture
and odors. In the long run, this will help to reduce the amount of
laundry and ultimately saves water.
Attractive and useful bathroom furniture
Today’s towel warmers and towel radiators are designed to be both attractive
and efficient. The combination of design and functionality is
enormous. Contemporary hot rails are attractive, with a wide variety
to choose from that take up little floor and wall space.
This makes it easy to customize the sleek look of these towel warmers
for any bathroom. There are even towel warmers that can incorporate
a radiator into their design, so you get the best of both worlds.
Most towel warmers are relatively easy to install, energy efficient,
attractive and practical and will give your bathroom a modern, contemporary
look.
Energy efficient
Many towel warmers are designed as independent electrical appliances
intended to operate continuously and economically and have a
built-in thermostat, which prevents overheating. So not only are these
towel warmers safe, they can safely be left on for about the cost of a
light bulb or two.
The hydronic towel warmers use hot water that is used to heat your
home through some sort of radiator, so you may need a plumber to
install it in your bathroom. The great thing is that once it’s installed it
doesn’t suck up any more energy to produce the heat, which is good.
The downside of using a water heated towel rail is that a radiator is
normally not in use in your home during the summer months (unless
you like living in a sauna!), so you might not want to heat your towels.
Easy to install
Electric towel warmers, on the other hand, are heated by means of
electricity. The advantage of electric towel rails is that they are easier
to install. You can simply plug in some electric towel warmers and
they are ready to go. The other advantage of an electric towel rail
is that they can be used all year round and can be installed almost
anywhere.
In hindsight, towel warmers made of solid material, such as stainless
steel, are less prone to rusting or flaking, like some towel holders
that are covered. Finally, if you really want to take the chill off your
bathroom floor on those cold winter mornings, you can install radiant
heat under your bathroom floor to keep your toes warm.
And remember, keeping your bathroom dry is one of the best ways to
keep your bathroom mold-free.
