Planning vertical heated towel rails for your new bathroom 

The great thing about vertical rails is the space you’ll save, while adding an interesting feature to a section of your bathroom. Speak to your licensed electrician at the start of your project so they can integrate the required wiring, transformers and Eco Switch behind your walls before tiling commences.

Deciding between vertical and horizontal towel rails

Choosing which rails best suit your bathroom comes down to the area of wall you have to work with, the look you’re trying to achieve and your bathroom budget.

If you’re opting for multiple single bar towel rails—vertical or horizontal—factor in the cost of additional electrical work.

If you’re looking for a budget solution for your heated towels, you may wish to consider a traditional ladder-style heated towel rail. These are a great option if you’re updating an existing bathroom and wish to plug your towel rail into an existing wall socket, without the need for an electrician.
