UFH and Towels

5 replies

Our builder has installed the plumbing for a heated towel rail, but I really don't like the look of any of the ones on offer. We are instead looking at a freestanding copper towel rail (unheated) but now I am thinking how will the towels dry?

We are having UFH installed and wondering if that will suffice to dry the towels during the day. Anyone have this scenario?

There must be some heated towel rails you like ?! You can't be looking in the right place if not.

They will be covered in towels anyway, so it won't matter what they look like ;-)

My initial thought is not about the efficacy of UFH to dry towels (which wouldn't be great anyway if the towels were very wet given ufh is more of an ambient heat rather than a direct heat), but how you plan to dry towels during a wet humid summer? Going through a couple of wet summers with our towel rail only being connected to the central heating was more than enough to make sure when we re-did the bathroom to put in a shower to also get the towel rail fitted with an immersion element so we could have it on by itself from time to time without having to put on the central heating.
