Warmup Electric Heated Towel Rails

Match the rail size to the wall space and how much warmth you need. The range here includes compact 100 x 650mm single‑bar rails at 19W (ideal for cloakrooms or occasional towel warming), a 520 x 500mm 4‑bar ladder at 52W (good for a standard family bathroom and multiple towels), and a 600 x 650mm 6‑bar ladder at 95W. Measure the wall where you'll fit the rail and think how many towels you want to hang at once to decide which width and wattage suit you.

Single‑bar rails are slim and take up very little room, so they work well in narrow ensuites or behind doors, but they only hold one towel and usually have low heat output. Ladder rails give you several rungs for drying multiple towels and higher heat outputs, the 4‑bar is 52W, the 6‑bar is 95W, so they both speed up drying and warm the bathroom more effectively. If you need to dry family towels daily, a 4‑ or 6‑bar ladder will be more useful than a single bar.

Profile and finish shape both the look and how towels sit on the rail: square‑profile rails (like the Burdock square design) give a modern, architectural look and flat contact for towels, while round profiles (such as the Tulsi round) feel softer and more traditional. All the included in our range Warmup models come in a polished finish, which reflects light and suits contemporary bathrooms but can show water spots more easily than a matt surface. If you want a sleek, reflective chrome look that's easy to match to taps, polished is a reliable choice.

It can, but only if you choose a model with enough output for the room size. Lower‑power single bars at 19W are mainly for warming towels and won't heat a full bathroom, whereas the 52W 4‑bar can help heat a small bathroom and the 95W 6‑bar is designed to provide comfortable heat across a typical bathroom. Think of the 95W Hawthorn 6‑bar as the closest substitute for a small radiator, while the single‑bar options are best used alongside other heating or just for towel warming.

Capacity follows the number of bars: a single‑bar rail fits one towel; a 4‑bar ladder will usually handle two to three towels depending on size; the 6‑bar can take three to four towels comfortably. Drying speed depends on the rail's power, the 95W 6‑bar warms and dries towels noticeably faster than a 19W single bar, so if you frequently need several dry towels in the morning, a higher‑wattage ladder will save you time.
