Black Towel Rails FAQs
Is a Black Heated Towel Rail Worthwhile?
If you like to have dry towels, somewhere to hang them and a comfortable room temperature, then yes, a black electric towel rail is worth having. Compared to normal towel rails, a metallic or matte black towel radiator will help you save space, especially in a compact bathroom or utility room where a small black towel rail is perfect, and effortlessly dry your damp towels quickly for use again. Aesthetically, if you’re a fan of sleek, dark colours, you can’t go wrong with stunning black, but we do have plenty of other colour options if you prefer more choice.
Will A Black Electric Towel Rail Heat The Room?
Yes, the design of towel radiators means they provide not just dry towels but also perfect temperatures for the whole room. In the past, you would have to make do with a standard radiator under a separate towel rail, so using a black traditional towel radiator is a handy solution if you prefer the classic look. You can work out exactly how much heat loss you can expect for the room you want to fit a black heated towel rail in. This is done by calculating the British Thermal Unit (BTU) requirement so that you can choose the right size.
Are Matt Black Towel Radiators Better at Heat Conduction?
The colour and design of a radiator can affect how well it conducts heat, so it is worth considering this with a choice of black towel rail. However, in terms of heating a bathroom or other small room, the difference between a chrome, white painted or matt black heated towel rail won’t be noticeable. Out of the three, a matt black towel radiator will provide the best heat conduction as polished surfaces are slightly less conductive, but the difference is minor when used in this context. Any choice of black heated towel rail electric radiator will provide ample heating for a room.
