Heated Towel Racks

Hot Towel? Hot Towel?

Anytime you introduce a new electrical appliance to the bathroom there are some concerns. Whether it is a hair dryer or an electric razor, one must be aware of certain precautionary measures that need to be taken in a washroom's relatively damp environment.

There are three ways that heated towel racks work to warm your linens.

The first heated racks use a hydronic warming system, and a plummer needs to connect this to your hot water line. These work well but are quite expensive.

Another type is the oil filled electric towel warmer. These are also expensive and not as quick to heat or as efficient as the other types.

The latest innovation in towel warmers uses a dry heating element that is similar to what is used in upscale under floor radiant heating systems. This style of towel warmer is very efficient, can be left on continuously, and is easy to install.

Why Would I Want One?
There are a number of practical reasons to buy a heated towel rack. Using a heated bathroom towel rack not only delivers luxurious personal comfort it offers practicality as well.

Heated towel racks allow you to cut back on the washing of bathroom linens because the towels will be dried quickly and ready for repeated use.

Hygienically, heated towel racks are a great way to kill germs that thrive in damp towels in the family bathroom.

Heated towel racks are also good to use around Jacuzzi's and hot tubs. If you shower before partaking, there will be less need to wash these towels.

More towels make for warmer towels.

Other Uses For Towel Warmers

One of the more exciting aspects of towel warmers is how many uses they have other than those that initially come to mind.

Bathroom towel warmers work in concert with exhaust fans to cut down on dampness in bathrooms. This has the added benefit of cutting down on expensive mold and mildew problems.

You can dry off bathing suits and bath towels after a trip to the pool or beach.

Winter clothes can also be dried on your bathroom towel warmer.

Bathroom towel warmers can be used to dry delicate and dry clean only items. Use them to dry a suit jacket or cashmere sweater without fear of damaging or shrinking them.
