These Towel Radiators Do Not Rust
Many homes now have radiators in bathrooms and kitchens that keep our towels dry and warm. In damp places such as bathrooms it is a better option to have stainless steel towel radiators fitted, or for that matter aluminium ones, because these two metals do not rust.
These heaters are a beautiful addition to any décor as they are made in many different designs and shapes. Stainless steel radiators are available in a glossy, polished and a matt finish and if you look after them they will keep on shining for years to come.
If you should have one of these heaters fitted to connect with your central heating boiler you need to have a look what kind of valves you will need to fit them to the heating pipes. If the pipes have been fed through the floor you will need a straight valve as the connection is made underneath the heater.
However, if the pipes come through the wall, you may need an angled version. Towel radiators do not need a thermostatic valve as a rule.
The heaters that are electrically operated are probably your best option. They are easy to install because there is no lifting of floor boards involved. These types are sealed units and they do not need hot water to flow through them. Another advantage of this type is that they will work all year round.
This especially beneficial if you have a large family and it is difficult to dry wet towels in rainy weather. Towels draped over radiators are always a messy sight and if you combine this with untidy teenagers you can easily see that towel heaters are a good solution.
If you do your research on the internet you will see that the ladder style is the most popular one to buy. However, you may want something more contemporary and there are really stylish examples available that do pretty much the same job.
You need to know that these heaters take up much less room than a conventional radiator.
