A heated towel rail is an affordable luxury that transforms any bathroom. The Thermogroup Vertical Single Heated Rail is engineered for bathrooms where wall space is limited, delivering both function and design impact. The brushed nickel finish seamlessly coordinates with brushed nickel tapware, creating a cohesive aesthetic. At 240V, this rail connects directly to power—no transformer required—making installation straightforward and eliminating transformer-related complications. The rail includes an optional towel hook for convenient hanging. While vertical rails excel at drying towels and warming them, they offer less surface contact than ladder-style rails, so expect moderate drying performance. Pair with a timer to optimize running costs. One towel per bar recommended.

Product Features:

• 240V Heated Towel Rails do not require a transformer as the rail connects directly to the 240V power. This provides an easier installation process and eliminates any potential issues that can be associated with transformers
• It is recommend to use one bar per towel to ensure enough contact between the rail and the towel for effective drying
• As with most Thermorail Heated Towel Rails, the Vertical Rails heat to around 35 degrees. When a towel is placed over the bars the towel insulates the rail and absorbs the heat, meaning that beneath the towel the temperature will rise to between 50 – 55 degrees.
• Whilst the vertical rail will assist in drying your towel, it does have less surface contact than a ladder rail and therefore will be less effective in drying and warming your towel than a ladder.
