5. Embrace energy efficiency and eco-friendliness

Heated towel rails are a luxurious addition to your bathroom and they also offer energy efficiency and eco-friendliness benefits. When compared to traditional towel drying methods such as tumble drying, heated racks consume much less energy. This is because they only need to operate for a short period to dry your towels, which translates to reduced energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.

In addition to being energy efficient, using a heated rack can also reduce your laundry frequency as towels take longer to get smelly and mildewy, leading to less water usage and lower environmental impact. By choosing an eco-friendly option for your bathroom, you can feel good about your contribution to sustainability while enjoying the benefits of a heated towel rack.

A must read before you buy

A wall-mounted heated towel rack is a great way to ensure you enjoy a daily dose of comfort and luxury. The only way to understand that feeling of a dry towel every morning is to experience it off a heated towel rail.

Also, if you’ve been using a tumble dryer to dry your towels, making the switch can help you reduce your energy bill – but only if you buy smart. There are lots of different types of heated towel racks on the market and not all of them will be clever purchases. Happily, we’ve created a guide to help you purchase the best of the best.

Know your type

What’s going on inside your heated towel rack?

If it’s filled with fluid it’s going to be very heavy, take a long time to heat up and you’ll run the risk of leaks. For these reasons, it’s best to buy a dry element towel rack such as those you’ll find at Bathroom Butler. Thanks to our exclusive Dry Element Technology (DET), our towel racks’ bars heat up via a silicone-coated wire. When a towel is placed over them, the area under the towel will get even warmer, but the exposed parts don’t. It’s a much smarter and safer way to roll. Or dry your towels.

Size matters

Choosing a heated towel rack with the correct towel holding capacity fit for your needs should be your first consideration.

If you’re livin la vida bachelor you don’t need to heat up enough towels to dry a soccer team. In this case, you’d need something like our NATURAL 5 Bar 20” heated towel rack that can easily dry two folded bath sheets.

However, if you’re wanting to install something in a family bathroom it’s best to think big – or possibly face stiff competition to be the first to get into the bathroom each morning. We have lots of larger towel racks that could fit the bill, including our NATURAL 15 Bar 20” heated towel rack. Which can comfortably hold four folded bath towels or 3 folded bath sheets!

The perfect placement

Ideally, you want to mount your heated towel rack as close to your bath or shower as possible. Still, you need to consider where your electricity is coming from.

Many consumers forget about this and end up purchasing a towel rack with wiring that ends up being on the wrong side. Can we get an “Aaaaargh!”? Fortunately, this isn’t a problem if you’re buying from Bathroom Butler. All our heated towel racks feature dual electrical entry – on the bottom left and the bottom right. This way, you can plug them in on either the left or the right hand side. Also, if your plug point sat higher up the wall, you could flip our towel racks and install them upside down. For the record, you couldn’t do this with the fluid-filled type as their heating element always has to be on the bottom to prevent it from burning out.

Know your metal

Heated towel racks are made from different materials, and all are not created equal.

In Europe, aluminum is a popular material used to make heated towel racks. Manufacturer’s tout the fact that it heats up quickly as a big pro, but the downside is that it doesn’t retain its heat for as long as steel. It’s also not as sturdy. Then there’s chrome-plated steel. This is where things get dicey because there’s no industry standard regulating that quality of the plating and, if you end up with something lightly coated, it’s going to chip, scratch and rust. This is why our Bathroom Butler heated towel racks are made from super strong, rust-resistant Grade 304 stainless steel to ensure they last decades, not just a couple of years. And as for slower heating? That’s not true at all! All our heated towel racks can heat up within 10 to 15 minutes!

Ultimately, when you know what you’re looking for and can make an informed choice, it’s easy to buy the very best.

Shopping for a heated towel rack? As with most things, it’s a case of “buyer beware”. You might think you’ve nabbed a bargain, but you’ll get the quality you pay for. Also, inferior materials and poor design could cost you in the long run. Fortunately, making sure you buy a luxe investment purchase instead of a lemon is just a case of knowing what to look out for.

Know your metal

As it turns out, not all steel is created equally. The kind you want to look out for is Grade 304 Stainless Steel, the type from which all Bathroom Butler heated towel racks are made. It’s incredibly rust-resistant and, being non-porous, no bacteria can stick to it. Also, all it requires is a quick wipe to achieve a gorgeous-looking gleam.

Many inferior heated towel racks use a lower grade quality of steel that’s prone to rust. They also have to be coated to recreate the natural shine of Grade 304 steel, so they’re easy to chip or scratch. Sadly, without chemical testing, it’s impossible to tell what grade you’re getting and some unscrupulous brands will lead you to believe you’re buying 304 Grade when you’re not.

Look out for heat control

Not all heated towel racks offer a built-in controller that allows you to adjust the heat setting. This is definitely something you’re going to want which is why all our Bathroom Butler models have them. It means you don’t have to install a separate switch at the wall and gives you the freedom of choice. Want your heated towel rack to work harder in winter? Of course! Would rather turn it down in the hotter months. For sure. This makes sense and allows you to save on electricity in the long run.

Dry element heating technology is best

Some heated towel racks, particularly those made in Europe, are fluid-filled. This is an older heating technology typical of towel racks that are very slow to heat up. At Bathroom Butler, we know you’ve got a need for speed so we use dry element heating technology (DET). It allows our towel racks to heat up within minutes so they use less electricity. Also, a lot less of the towel rack’s surface heats up, which is safer. However, because the temperature underneath the towels increases, they’ll dry a lot faster. We call this Direct Intelligent Heating (DIH). Our customer’s call it “convenient” and “clever”!

Have it both ways

What’s great about our Bathroom Butler heated towel racks is that they all have dual entry electrical connections. This means it doesn’t matter which side of the wall your electrical connection is located – you can simply flip our towel racks around to suit! Many competitor products only have a single entry electrical connection. This has resulted in endless stress for their customers who’ve waited forever for a heated towel rack to arrive, only to realise they’re unable to connect it.

Get the after sales care you deserve

Many heated towel racks are welded together so when something goes wrong you can’t open them up and repair them. Happily, this isn’t a concern when you purchase a Bathroom Butler heated towel rack. They’re assembled via a unique, “no welding”, patented construction method that makes them fully serviceable. Better yet, they come with a great peace-of-mind guarantee – 10 years on the product material, 5 years on the heating element and 1 year on the controller.

In short, if you buy an inferior heated towel rack, the experience could be costly and short-lived. With Bathroom Butler, you get a top-quality product that can save you money in the long run while enjoying all the luxury it offers for many years to come. When it comes to choosing a brand to enhance your bathroom, the winner is pretty clear.

Why Heated Towel Rack Myths Exist

Ever noticed how some of the best bathroom innovations get tangled up in misunderstandings? Heated towel racks are no exception! 

These clever devices have been around for years in luxury hotels and spas, but as they’ve made their way into our homes, a bunch of myths have tagged along for the ride. 

The main reason? Most people’s first encounter with heated towel racks was in high-end hotels, leading them to view these devices as pure luxury items rather than practical bathroom essentials. 

Add in concerns about energy costs and a general misunderstanding of how they actually work, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for myths and misconceptions. 

Plus, with older, less efficient models still floating around in people’s memories, it’s no wonder some folks are skeptical about bringing one into their homes. 

But here’s the thing: modern heated towel racks are a whole different story, and it’s time to set the record straight.

Explore the 7 Most Common Myths About Heated Towel Racks

Ready to discover the truth about heated towel racks? 

We’re about to bust open the 7 biggest myths that might be holding you back from experiencing the magic of these bathroom game-changers. 

From running costs to their real purpose, we’re diving deep into each misconception to show you exactly why these myths don’t hold water. Let’s get myth-busting!

Myth 1: Heated towel racks exist to warm towels

Here’s the biggest myth we hear all the time—that heated towel racks are just fancy towel warmers for people who love luxury. Not even close! 

While having a gently warmed and cozy towel is definitely a nice perk, the real superpower of these devices is their ability to dry your towels quickly and efficiently. Why does this matter? Because damp towels are basically bacteria’s favorite breeding ground! 

A heated towel rack can dry your towel in just a few hours, compared to leaving it hanging on the back of the bathroom door, where it might stay damp all day. This speedy drying time helps inhibit bacteria growth, keeping your towels more hygienic and fresh for longer. 

So, while that dry, warm towel feels amazing (and it really does!), you’re actually getting something much more important: a cleaner, healthier bathroom routine.

Myth 2: Heated towel racks are expensive to run

Think running a heated towel rack will send your electricity bill through the roof? Think again! 

Here’s a surprise that shocks most people – these smart devices only use about as much power as a regular light bulb (we’re talking 40 to 180W). That means you can keep it running all day without stressing about costs. 

Even better? All Bathroom Butler heated towel racks come with a PTSelect (Personal Temperature Selection) switch for temperature adjustment and can be connected to Wi-Fi switches, putting you in complete control of your energy consumption. You can adjust the power settings and schedule your rack to run only when you need it, maximizing energy efficiency. 

And here’s the really cool part—since you won’t be tossing your damp towels in the energy-hungry dryer anymore, you might actually see your bills go down. In fact, if you’re currently a heavy dryer user, your heated towel rack could pay for itself in just a few months!

Myth 3: You don’t need a heated towel rack in warm weather

Let’s tackle another common myth about heated towel racks—they’re only good for cold weather! 

Many people think hot summer days mean their towel rack can take a vacation, but that’s far from the truth. No matter the season, your bathroom is still a humid environment, and your towels get wet after every shower or bath. 

That moisture attracts bacteria all year round, and in humid summer weather, towels can actually take longer to dry naturally than in winter, leading to that dreaded musty smell. A heated towel rack keeps your towels dry and fresh 365 days a year, and with our PTSelect switch, you can easily adjust the power settings to match the season, ensuring optimal efficiency no matter the weather.

Myth 4: Heated towel racks take forever to heat up

Whoever told you heated towel racks are slow to warm up must not have met our modern designs! 

Thanks to our innovative Dry Element Technology (DET), Bathroom Butler heated towel racks reach their optimal temperature in just 15 minutes. That’s right! While old-school fluid-filled models might take up to 90 minutes to get going, our racks are ready to work before you’ve even finished your morning coffee. 

The secret? DET delivers heat directly to your towels through the bars, trapping warmth where it matters most, underneath the towel. This means faster drying times and more efficient performance, so your towels start drying the moment you hang them up.

Myth 5: Heated towel racks can’t be used to dry clothing

Here’s a myth we need to clear up! Nothing’s actually stopping you from drying clothes on your heated towel rack, but there are a few things to keep in mind. 

While these racks are designed primarily for towels, they’ll happily help dry other items. Just remember what works best—damp items, not sopping wet. Those dripping-wet clothes are better off in the sun or the dryer where they belong.

One important thing to note about heated towel racks is that they can get quite warm, though not as hot as an iron. So you’ll need to think carefully about what you hang on them. Do you have clothes with plastisol prints that could melt or delicate fabrics that don’t play nice with heat? Best to keep those away and find them another drying spot. 

The rule here is simple—if your clothing can handle moderate heat, it’ll do just fine on your heated towel rack.

Myth 6: Heated towel racks replace the need for a dryer

Let’s tackle this myth with a pinch of common sense! 

While heated towel racks are amazing at what they do, they won’t completely replace your dryer—and that’s perfectly okay. Here’s the deal with drying: heated towel racks are perfect for damp towels and clothes that just need a gentle dry, but anything soaking wet will be better off in the sun or dryer. 

Where these racks really shine is in their everyday convenience. Imagine running to your dryer every time you want to shower. That’s not just inconvenient, it’s expensive too! 

With a heated towel rack, your towel starts drying as soon as you hang it up after use, and it’s ready and waiting for your next shower. No planning ahead, no wasted energy, just perfect, dry towels right where you need them.

Myth 7: A heated towel rack means rarely washing your towels

Let’s bust our last myth! While heated towel racks make a huge difference in towel hygiene, they don’t eliminate the need for washing but change how often you’ll need to do it.

Here’s why: no matter how thoroughly you shower, your towel will collect bacteria from your body. The longer a towel stays damp, the more these bacteria multiply. On a regular rail, this means washing your towels every second or third day to avoid what we call a “bacteria block party.” 

But here’s where heated towel racks work their magic: by drying your towels quickly, they reduce the time bacteria have to grow. In fact, testing shows towels dried on heated towel racks have up to 75% lower microbial load than those dried on regular rails. That means you can get an extra day or two between washes. Less laundry and fresher towels? That’s a win-win!

Shop our selection of heated towel racks online and enjoy fresher, cleaner towels with less frequent washing.

We’re spending more time at home than ever before so it makes sense to want to make things extra comfy. But why stop at “nice” when you can head straight to “hello there, 5-star hotel”. After all, we’re not going to be travelling anytime soon, so we might as well live it up at home. Installing a wall-mounted heated towel rack is a great place to start. Unlike a freestanding model that’ll take up floor space, a wall-mounted heated towel rack attaches directly to the wall. This way, you don’t have to worry about tripping over a plug or have yet another thing to move around when you’re trying to clean. Also, if you pick one of Bathroom Butler’s gorgeous-looking, state-of-the-art towel racks, you’ll find installation’s all too easy.

Have it both ways

With most other heated towel racks, you have to specify whether you want a left or right-hand electrical connection. Many people get this wrong and end up ordering a towel rack that has to be returned. Definitely not the kind of admin you want when your goal is to create a life that’s high on luxe and low on fuss! What’s great about a Bathroom Butler wall mounted towel rack is that it boasts dual entry. This means it has both a left and right-hand electrical connection. (Yep, it’s as cleverly designed as it’s good-looking!) It’s also going to save you money because it heats up faster than other brands. Within just 10 to 15 minutes it’s hot enough to start drying your towels!

Let’s talk textiles!

Speaking of towels, the next step in turning your bathroom into a spa-like experience is to luxe up your linens. We suggest investing in deliciously thick towels made from 100% cotton. This will ensure they’re super soft to the touch as well as wonderfully absorbent. Also, because Bathroom Butler’s heated towel racks rely on Direct Intelligent Heating, they’ll dry your towels in just four hours. This way, you can keep them in fabulously fluffy condition!

Set the mood

Last, but not least, if you’re on a mission for sensory bliss, it’s time to makeover your products. Toss that 2-in-1shower gel for something with a creamy, dreamy texture. Swap out that soap on a rope for a triple-milled delight. You want to look out for products that promise to create a sense of calm and many can deliver if they’re formulated with soothing essential oils. Think lavender, ylang-ylang and neroli. If you can find a scented candle that uses these calming oils, that would be great too. You can keep it on your bathroom dresser or elevate it right next to your tub with a glass shelf. Bathroom Butler has several designs so you could find one that matches perfectly to your wall-mounted heated towel rack. Suddenly, bath time becomes a self-care ritual just as good as what any boutique hotel could offer. Better yet, you never have to worry about checking out!

Ah, the humble heated towel rack. It’s one of America’s most desirable home enhancements but also the most misunderstood. You see, possibly due to its name, many people expect it to heat up their towels. However, it’s an actual job, something it does brilliantly, is to dry your towels. This way, when you get out of the shower or bath, you get to reach for a lovely dry towel with a touch of warmth. With a heated towel rack in your life, having to endure the ultimate ick – reaching for something damp and dank-smelling – becomes a memory to forget.

Dry towels vs warm towels

So, how does a heated towel rack work? Well, it all comes down to the art of the fold, but don’t worry, you’re not going to have to master anything complicated.

Only a small section of your towels, the part that hangs on the rail, will actually touch your heated towel rack. This transferred heat alone isn’t enough to dry your towel but, the way you drape it traps air underneath it. This air gets increasingly hot and can dry your towel in a matter of hours. Also, the more layers, the more heat your towel can trap, so folding it twice will ensure an even faster dry time.

It’s important to remember that, while all Bathroom Butler heated towel racks come with an adjustable heat setting, even the highest won’t compete with a tumble dryer. This is a good thing, however, as owning a hellishly hot towel rack would be a hazard, especially if you’ve got little hands in the house.

Safety first

Nobody can deny that a dry towel offering a subtle hint of warmth will always be a sensory delight. But there’s another reason why saying no to soggy is a must and that’s good old fashioned hygiene.

As it turns out, damp towels, especially those kept in a dark bathroom, are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, says many people don’t wash their hands thoroughly enough. Then, when they reach for a towel they’re seeding it with bacteria in a place that’s primed to grow like wildfire. “After about two days, if you dry your face on a hand towel, you’re probably getting more E. coli on your face than if you stuck your head in a toilet and flushed it,” he says.

Alrighty then!

But it gets even scarier! “I worry about towels that remain damp or moist. That’s a breeding ground for MRSA,” says New York City microbiologist Susan Whittier. An infection caused by antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA accounted for more than 300 000 hospitalizations and 10 000 deaths in the United States.

The bottom line

Clearly, being able to dry your towels soon after use, regardless of what the weather’s doing is a must. It can help protect you and your family from potentially deadly bacteria. While you could do this with a tumble drier, it’s not great for the environment and you’ll end up with a huge utility bill. But this is where a heated towel rack can come to the rescue. Better yet, if you buy one from Bathroom Butler, you get to rest assured you’ve invested in the kind of quality that’ll last for decades. Also, the fact that they’re gorgeous to look at is a big plus too. So, here’s to creating a lifetime of fresh, dry towels with just a touch of warmth.
