(Newswire.net— June 23, 2021) — The most popular home improvement for adding value is installing a new bathroom. Perhaps this is because it adds to both the worth of your property and to your standard of living.
To make the most of this investment, choosing the right fittings and accessories is essential. One bathroom addition you must have in your bathroom design plan is the heated towel rail.
Luxury Bathroom Design
A heated towel rail has long been a symbol of luxury. It has all the connotations of a pampering spa treatment, wrapping up in a warm towel after a long soak or shower.
Before the advent of designer radiators, heated towel rails were the first radiators to be regarded as an interior design status symbol.
Now, as designer radiators are coming into their own, towel rails have not been left behind. Leading manufacturers have made sure they are on trend. Check out the choice of electric towel rails and you’ll find a huge variety of designs, sizes, and colours to add luxury to your bathroom while enhancing your bathroom décor and layout.
Improved Heating
A towel rail can add additional heating for a bathroom or, in a smaller bathroom, be the main heat source.
Bathrooms are often the least sunny rooms in the house, where architects prioritise the warmest aspects for main rooms. This means that heating them up effectively and efficiently is important for a pleasant bathroom experience.
Multipurpose Value
As well as warming towels and providing heat, towels rails offer storage for towels. In what is usually the smallest room in the house, effective storage is a clear benefit. Hand towels and bath sheets are equally at home displayed and drying on a towel rail.
With limited space available, any feature that works hard for its place adds value.
Hygienic Benefits
Bathrooms, by nature, are prone to damp and mould. Having wet towels hanging around on hooks only serves to add to the problem.
A heated towel rail, on the other hand, dries towels more quickly and, therefore, helps to alleviate any issues with damp which would otherwise be a red flag for potential buyers.
Style Features
Whether your house is a modern mecca or a period property, a heated towel rail can help confirm your interior décor as a premium aspect of your home.
Column style towel rails are ideal for Victorian or Georgian properties where their robust steel construction and traditional design will be right at home in a period bathroom. Period features are always considered to add extra value to the house.
For ultra-modern bathrooms, a brightly coloured radiator or sleek full panel radiator will mark your home design as contemporary and aspirational. Cutting-edge design will give the impression of high-end value.
Eco-Friendly Appeal
If you opt for a combi-fuel towel radiator, your home will benefit from better energy efficiency.
A towel rail just plumbed into your central heating system will only heat up when your full system is on. This means that, in the summer, even if you turn your radiators down, your boiler must get going just to heat your towels and/or bathroom.
A fully electric towel rail can be expensive to run all year round. Like a kettle, it powers up quickly but uses a lot of energy to do so.
A combi-fuel system offers energy-efficient flexibility. You run it off the central heating system during the colder months and power it by electricity on the few occasions you require it over the warmer months.
Any eco-conscious investments will add value to your property and save you money too.
