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.
