Electric towel rail

Featured Replies

Struggling to find what I need for my ensuite.

Problem is depth (projection from wall).

If you wish to stand in front the vanity unit you really need to be next to the wall. Therefore a deep projection from a towel rail will be problematic.

I have looked at expensive minimalist ones - but SWMBO wants it to heat the room also.

 

Any suggestions?

Hmmm, I'm guessing anything less than 80mm makes it almost impossible to put a towel over the rail.

Limited places to put the towel rail in the ensuite though.....

*0mm is bloody tight for a nice fluffy towel. I hope you are well insulated, i have always found that a towel rail as the only source of heat to be a bit rubbish when covered withb a towel.

I would have a small electric curtain heater above the door. I don't like being in the nuddy without heat. It just don't show me off to my best ?

That's primitive man!. SWMBO will not be impressed.

It *may* be possible to squeeze a tall but skinny one in elsewhere (I need to check) but maybe only 200mm wide.....

Do it 200mm wide tall jobie will work wonders, and your manhood will thank you.?

Or have a flush mounted ceiling high powered fan. Out of shower, stand under. No towel needed. Proper posh.

Had one in a posh house i worked on. step out of the shower, dance around a bit. 30 seconds later, you are dry. Bit like a big hand dryer in the ceiling.

I would be more than happy to run a towel over her all day long.

Her loss eh?

 

It's the reason I got it. SWMBO steps under it and at the touch of a button comes out looking like that.
