I'd suggest measure the size of the old rad, look up on screwfix or some such how many btu one like your old one would be, and compare new towel rads with this. Assuming your old rad isn't something weird!
Maybe i'm missing the point...Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery0 -
Unless your bathroom is very small it is difficult to get a towel radiator to put out sufficient heat to warm a room - particularly when it is draped with towels.
You could consider a towel radiator in addition to your existing radiator. Also an electric towel radiator can make sense.0 -
I agree! A towel rail is not enough to heat even a small bathroom I'd stick with a rad if i had my time again.Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0
