Towel Radiators: Add a Luxurious touch to Your Bathroom

The thought of stepping from the shower or bathtub into a warm, fluffy towel speaks of the kind of luxury you expect to find in hotels and homes across Europe. But wouldn’t it be great to have that kind of luxury in your own home? Resembling ultra modern, extended towel bars in a multitude of colors and designs, the Zehnder towel radiators serve two purposes: providing an even, radiant heat source for a room and warming and drying the towels. “They are a practical solution to heating bathrooms, mud rooms and spas because towel radiators are more than just towel warmers,” says Kate Bosley of Zehnder. “The heat output effectively heats these spaces whether as a sole source or in combination with radiant floor heating or other conventional methods. And electric towel radiators allow you to heat the bathroom year round without turning on the central heating system.” “Now even a cool morning in June can be welcomed with a warm bathroom and a fluffy, warm towel. And they’re even used in southern climates for drying out the bath and preventing sour, mildewy smells,” adds Bosley. Zehnder, which has been making radiators in Europe since 1930, provides an infrared programmable controller that allows for seven-day programming. The controller allows you the convenience and efficiency of programming the radiator to warm the bathroom and the towels before you wake up in the morning, and then again in the evening or whenever it is needed. It then shuts itself off to avoid wasting energy. This makes the product extremely energy efficient as well. “You don’t have to remember to turn it on at the last minute before a bath or shower or after you wake in the morning, or worse, leave it on in order to have a warm bath and towel when you want them,” Bosley added. All three models come in a range of sizes and colors. There are many standard colors and over 100 fashion colors to choose from. Also, the wireless programmable controller comes standard with every unit and gives you eight heat settings so you can use your radiator all year round.
