What Is Heated Towel Rail?
A heated towel rail is a method for heating up towels before you use them. It can be either heated via electricity or through boiler, and it’s a great way of making sure your towels are warm and ready to go whenever you need them. Read on for various heated towel rails on the market, along with how they work.
Electric Towel Rails - Wire Heating
- The best thing about electric towel rails is that they’re designed to be on the low end of what your power needs without compromising comfort.
- The surface temperature of the device usually hovers around 40℃ to 50℃ which makes sure that never be too hot or too cold for your skin.
- Electric Towel Rails connect directly into an existing electrical circuit so you never have to worry about plumbing it or filling them with fluid.
- Using aluminum heating wire, electric towel rails get warm quickly (taking 5 minutes) before reaching optimum warmth within 30 minutes of operation time.
- Thermostatic dry element rails cost as little 1 cent per hour to run. This makes them an incredibly efficient way of heating without generating high electricity bills or wasting natural resources like water.
- BATHVO is one of the best electric towel rails manufacturer in China.
Hydronic Towel Rails
- Hydronic towel rails are one type of radiator, which is not only designed to heat your towels but will also warm the space.
- They are connected to the heating system and get heat through the internal flow of hot water – generally 55℃.
- The whole operation structure of the product is complicated, containing boiler and circulation system, piping, diverter valve, triangle valve, towel rack body, an exhaust valve, which is not easy to install, and the location of the piping must be prepared before renovation.
- The heat-up time is dependent on if the boiler is already running and the water is hot which is slow.
- Limited by its own materials and structure, product design plasticity is very low, the style is relatively fixed and traditional.
- Considering skyrocketing gas prices and facing supply cuts, electric towel rails will be a better business for you.

Liquid-Filled Towel Rails
- The liquid-filled towel rails heat up the overall temperature by heating the liquid inside, so they need greater power, generally above 600W.
- They are pre-filled with antiseptic liquid and sealed, then inserted into the power point or hard-wired to the switch, so they have very high requirements for sealing, otherwise there will be a risk of liquid leakage and electricity leakage.
- In order for the product to maintain normal and even heating, the product generally requires regular maintenance, like replenishing the liquid.
- The heat-up time will generally be a little slower than the dry element heated rails.
- As also using electricity, dry element heated rails is much more energy-efficient and safer.

Types Of Heated Towel Rails
There are various kinds of electric towel racks on the market, below we will introduce different types of electric towel racks from 4 aspects such as material, surface treatment, installation method and control mode.
From Material
- Stainless Steel
Stainless steel has become the most mainstream material for heated towel rails at present.The advantages are durability, corrosion resistance, versatile shape, and the ability to use a variety of surface treatments. The disadvantage is that the price will be a little more expensive than most materials.
- Mild Steel
Mild steel is the mainstream material for radiators. It has low hardness and is easy to weld. But the shape is only rounded. Since its own corrosion resistance is low, the surface must be painted. The material and processing cost is low. If it is used as the material of electric towel rail, its service life will be lower than that of stainless steel, and once a small piece of coating comes off the surface, it will rust quickly.
- Aluminum
Most of the aluminum alloys currently used to make electric towel racks are space aluminum materials. It has a lower material cost, general corrosion resistance, and the surface can be sprayed and oxidized. The disadvantage is that the material is thin, low grade, and can not be finely polished, resulting in its production of products often existing in the case of sharp edges.
- Brass
The brass heated towel rail is the highest-end product available. However, due to its high material cost and production cost, only very few markets are currently selling related products.

From Shape
- Tube
The tubular heated towel rail is currently the most mainstream and popular style. It is mainly divided into two kinds of round and square tubes. There are various tube diameters, various shapes of stainless steel tube type, so stainless steel heated towel rail can have a thousand different design shapes.
- Pannel
With the younger consumer groups, the market is increasingly demanding for the style of the towel warmer, so the panel-like electric towel warmer has become the favorite of product designers in recent years. At present, the mainstream panel electric towel warmer on the market basically uses stainless steel plates or aluminum plates. And with the rise of sintered stone in the last 2 years, sintered stone towel warmer has become a huge trend. BATHVO is the first factory in China to design and manufacture sintered stone electric towel warmer.

Points To Note When Purchasing
FRAME
Pay attention to several factors that affect the quality & price:
① Material
② Thickness of tubes
③ Polishing and Welding
SURFACE TREATMENT
① Different surface treatments, different prices. Generally, the cost of plating is the highest.
② Even for the same finish, there are different standards, and this is a factor that affects price and quality.
HEATING WIRE
① The aluminum heating wire is always the best choice because it is mature and has all the necessary certifications.
② Regarding the emerging graphene film heating, it is not mature in the field of electric towel rack as it lacks relevant certification.
POWER CORD & PLUG
① Be sure to tell your supplier about your target market in advance, as there are many different standard power plugs around the world.
② If there is a need for certification, you can ask the supplier to provide the relevant certification for the power cord and plug.
CONTROL METHOD
① The price will be different for different control methods.
② For electric towel racks, a switch is not necessary, depending on the usage needs and habits of the target market segment.
INSTALLATION
① Not all heated towel rails can be achieved in one exposed and concealed installation.
② If you are purchasing concealed products, please find out in advance if their installation method is suitable for your market.
