Traditional heated towel radiators are becoming an ever popular choice for both period and contemporary bathrooms due to their functionality of heating a bathroom as a radiator coupled with an integrated rail for hanging towels, thus giving the comfort of warm towels or simply to dry towels after use. The traditional towel radiator is inexpensive, easy to maintain and extremely tasteful adding functionality to the bathroom as well as tasteful appearance.

Many different design options can be found in the market today with the option of owning a dual fuel towel rail. A dual fuel heated towel radiator simply allows you the choice of having two different energy sources fuelling your towel radiator, electric or mains central heating.

There are many benefits of a dual fuel towel radiator, the main being that you can choose whether you want the whole central heating system running to power the towel radiator or to have the towel radiator fuelled alone by using the electric option. This benefit comes into play if it is a warmer time of year (spring to late summer) and you do not want to have your central heating system running (as this would make your home too warm and waste energy) but would still like the comfort and luxury of warm towels as you step out of the bath or shower. This option thus leads to another main benefit of being economically friendly which has made the dual fuel option of towel radiator an ever more popular one.

A dual fuel towel radiator will require central heating pipes running into the radiator (for the central heating option) and an electrical element connected to a fused spur, attached to the wall using a blank plate (for the electric option). Dual fuel towel radiators must be fitted by a qualified electrician due to the electrical element being housed in a bathroom.

The traditional towel radiator is not only a luxurious comfort but can also be very aesthetically pleasing in style for both the contemporary or period style bathroom. There is quite a large selection of towel radiators to choose from on the market today and companies like Paladin Radiators will custom build traditional towel radiators to heat output required and to suit your taste, utilizing cast iron radiators for extra authenticity and design flair, as well as custom colour to compliment your décor.

Traditional towel radiators add an extra dimension of luxury to life and ensure you never need to use a damp cold towel and there is nothing like the feeling at the beginning of the day or at the end of the day of being wrapped in a warm dry fluffy towel after a bath or shower.
