Traditional Towel Rails Decorative and Functional Features for Your Bathrooms
Bathrooms can often be tight spaces in homes. Youneed to fit a lot into these rooms in order to make them functional for your family. Traditional towel rail designs can provide a compact and space saving way to heat these rooms.
Traditional towel rails will offer flexible ways to heat bathrooms. These rails will radiate heat on a low economic setting. The rail design also provides a space for hanging towels so that they can dry effectively. This helps to create combat damp in bathrooms and create a drier and more comfortable space.
Choosing the Right Towel Rails
There are many different types of traditional towel rail styles and designs on the market. This gives you lots of choice when you are choosing the perfect traditional towel rail for your bathroom spaces.
• In most cases a traditional towel rail will be fitted against the wall for convenience.
• You will need to measure the space available very carefully. Bathrooms can contain a number of features making the wall space very tight.
• You will want to be able to get to the towel rail easily but you don’t want it to restrict access to any other features in the bathroom such as the sink, toilet or bath.
• Try not to put the towel rail behind doors that open into the bathroom. This can restrict access in the door way.
• Think about what design would suit your bathroom best. If you have a large family then a towel rail that offers more places to hang towels can be a good idea (if you have the space).
• Bulky traditional towel rail designs will not be suitable for small bathrooms though as these can intrude into the room. Look out for streamline designs that provide heat and towel space without taking up too much precious room.
• There are electric powered towel rails available. These are useful if you don’t want to have to plumb the heating in your bathroom into your main central heating system
• Electric powered towels rails can provide a cost effective heat all day – even when the main heating is turned off.
• Because of the water hazard in bathrooms you do need to ensure electric towel rails are fitted by professional electricians to full safety requirements.
Maintaining Your Traditional Towel Rails
The great thing about traditional towel rail designs is that in most cases they will need very little maintenance. Once they are fitted you will not have to think about them much again.
• You may need to dust the rails now and again. A quick wipe over with some household cleaner can also help them stay looking their best
• Avoid hanging soaking wet towels over the rails. They will not dry very quickly and this can encourage mould and mildew to grow in your bathroom.
There are some wonderful traditional towel rail designs to choose from on the market. You should be able to find a design that not only looks great but also functions well in your bathroom.
