What is a Towel Warmer?
A towel warmer is most commonly used in a bathroom. It is similar to a towel rack, functioning as a place where towels are hung to dry, but also heats the towels. Damp towels hung on a warmer dry faster than those left to air dry on a standard rack. The more rapid drying process, afforded by a towel warmer, reduces the chances of a damp towel producing mildew. Keeping towels thoroughly dry also helps them stay fresher in between uses. The real luxury of a towel warmer is that a towel left on it will be warm to the touch. Stepping out of a shower and into a warm towel is considered by many to be a wonderful indulgence. This is especially true in colder climates. Sometimes called drying rails, towel warmers come in a variety of designs. They can be built to hold one towel or many. Most are electric and are plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet. When switched on, the racks holding the towels heat up and warm the towel hanging on them. Some towel warmers are hardwired into a house
Basically, a towel warmer is a decorative radiator. Myson towel warmers are available in either electric, or hydronic, wall or floor-mounted. Electric units are filled with oil and have a controlled heating element that will not exceed 145 degrees. A hydronic unit utilizes your hot water system, and is controlled by the temperature of your water heater.
