Heating Drying
Heated towel rail can quickly dry towels and clothes to avoid odor and mildew, keep clean and dry.
Anti-bacteria and Sterilization
Through high temperature drying, the Heated towel rail can kill the bacteria and mites on the towel to protect the user's skin and health.
Auxiliary heating
Some heated towel rails also have a heating function, which can raise the temperature of the bathroom in winter and make the bathing environment more comfortable.
Decorative effect
Heated towel rails are available in a variety of designs, which can beautify the bathroom home environment and improve the quality of life.

About materials
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel has become the most mainstream material for heated towel rails at present.The advantages are durability, corrosion resistance, versatile shape, and the ability to use a variety of surface treatments. The disadvantage is that the price will be a little more expensive than most materials.
Mild Steel
Mild steel is the mainstream material for radiators. It has low hardness and is easy to weld. But the shape is only rounded. Since its own corrosion resistance is low, the surface must be painted. The material and processing cost is low. If it is used as the material of electric towel rail, its service life will be lower than that of stainless steel, and once a small piece of coating comes off the surface, it will rust quickly.
Aluminum
Most of the aluminum alloys currently used to make electric towel racks are space aluminum materials. It has a lower material cost, general corrosion resistance, and the surface can be sprayed and oxidized. The disadvantage is that the material is thin, low grade, and can not be finely polished, resulting in its production of products often existing in the case of sharp edges.
Brass
The brass heated towel rail is the highest-end product available. However, due to its high material cost and production cost, only very few markets are currently selling related products.
About Shapes
The tubular heated towel rail is currently the most mainstream and popular style. It is mainly divided into two kinds of round and square tubes. There are various tube diameters, various shapes of stainless steel tube type, so stainless steel heated towel rail can have a thousand different design shapes.

Electroplating |
Electroplating is the most popular metal surface treatment that can be done in a wide range of colors. At present, the common colors in the market are chrome plating, gold, rose gold, brushed gold, brushed rose gold, and gunmetal grey. *Popular in the global market. |
|
|
|
Brushed Nickle |
Brushed nickel is one of the effects of polishing, which is more of a subtle, softer-looking finish. It has a slightly brushed appearance with a semi-satin finish. *Popular in the USA, Australia, and New Zealand markets. |
 |
|
|
Silver |
The silver surface is the other effect of polishing. It is made through multiple polishing processes and finished with a mirror-like finish. *Popular in the global market. |
|
|
|
Painting |
The painting process is mainly divided into two types: powder coating and painting. They can both be made glossy or matte and can be made in a variety of colors. The mainstream colors in the market at present are matte black and matte white. *Popular in Australia, New Zealand, USA, and European markets. |
|
|
|
Oxidation |
Oxidation is a surface treatment process specifically for aluminum. It can be done in many different colors, just like electroplating, and the current mainstream colors are brushed gold, brushed rose gold, and gunmetal grey. |

About Installations
Exposed
Exposed installation means the product’s power cord and power plug are exposed. Connect the power plug to the power outlet to energize. The advantage of the exposed installation method is that the product can be changed at will, while not having to consider pre-buried or damaging the wall.
Only electric towel rail can realize the way of exposed installation, and basically, all electric towel rail can be made into exposed installation.
Concealed
Concealed installation means that the heated towel rail does not come with a power plug and the power cord is hidden. The power is energized by connecting the hidden power cord to the power cord on the wall. The advantage of concealed installation is hygiene, safety, anti-ligature, reduced vandalism, and enhanced aesthetics.
The most heated towel rail can realize the way of concealed installation.
Both Exposed & Concealed
At present, most of the hot-selling tubular heated towel rail can realize the exposed and concealed installation as one. It means that the customer can choose exposed or concealed installation independently according to the decoration conditions and application environment. The biggest advantage of this approach is the convenience of consumers, but also greatly reduces the pressure of merchants to stock up, because only one product version needs to be purchased.
About Controls
No Power Switch
Heated towel rail without switch, directly connected to the power supply, plug and work.
This type of control is popular in some markets, such as Australia and New Zealand.
With Power Switch
The heated towel rail comes with an on/off button to activate itself by pressing a button.
This is currently the most mainstream way of controlling the heated towel rail. The switch is divided into metal button switch and boat switch. The metal button switch is divided into with indicator and without indicator. The boat switch is divided into waterproof and ordinary versions.
With Timer
The timer controller is a built-in controller that can be assembled on the heated towel rail.
It can make the electric towel rack start and then automatically turn off the power at the end of the pre-set time, so as to achieve the effect of saving electricity. Currently the most common is the 2-hour and 4-hour timer off.
However, because the power and power consumption of the electric towel rack is quite low, even if the power is always on, it will not cause huge electricity bills, so this control method is not mainstream.
* Since the timer comes with a circuit board, the warranty time of heated towel rail will be reduced if with timer.
With Touch Screen
With the development of the smart bathroom, the touch screen controller also began to be applied to the heated towel rail. It can touch the switch, control the temperature, timing, wifi connection, and other functions.
However, controlling temperature and wifi connection is not significant for a heated towel rail. And considering the warranty risk of touch screens, heated towel rail with smart touch screen is still niche in the market.
* Since the timer comes with a circuit board, the warranty time of heated towel rail will be reduced if with timer.
