Stepping out of a warm shower in the middle of winter is unpleasant to say the least. However, thanks to the good old heated towel rail we can say goodbye to the days of painfully trying to make ourselves jump out of the shower to face the cold.
Heated towel rails can be made to be either electric or hydronic. They are a more practical and stylish solution than using a standard radiator and will keep your towels dry and cosy as well as keep your bathroom toasty.
With so many fantastic options on the market to choose from, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best heated towel rails to get you through the winter chill.
