Heated Towel Rail Sizing Guide
Check size, pipe centres, valves and finish before buying a towel rail.
Quick checklist
- Measure the available wall height and width, leaving clearance around doors and furniture.
- Check pipe centres and whether straight or angled valves are required.
- Choose a finish that matches taps, wastes and accessories.
- For electric or dual-fuel options, check professional installation requirements.
Before you buy
Bathroom products need to match the room, the pipework and the other visible fittings. The main mistake customers make is buying the headline product but forgetting small parts like wastes, traps, valves, fixings or connectors.
For the best result, measure the finished space, check the product specification, and make a short list of every related part needed before you order.
Common extras to check
- Waste fittings and traps
- Valves, connectors and fixings
- Matching finish accessories
- Delivery access for large items
- Professional installation requirements for plumbing, heating or electrical products
