FAQ's
- Is a white heated towel rail a good colour choice?
Yes, white is a neutral shade that pairs well with any colour. It comes in classic and contemporary designs to suit your style preferences. They are also available in various finishes, including brushed, matte, metallic, sparkling & gloss. You can choose the white you prefer that meets your bathroom's aesthetic.
If you have an existing one that is a different colour and would rather have a white one, we recommend replacing it rather than painting it.
- Are white towel warmers as efficient as black or dark-coloured options?
White towel warmers are generally as heat-efficient as black or dark-coloured ones. The ones in darker colours may emit a bit more heat because they have better thermal radiation properties. However, the difference is so minimal that you will hardly notice it. The efficiency of the towel rail depends more on the BTU, wattage, size and tubes than on the colour.
- Can I paint a white towel warmer?
We do not recommend that you paint a white heated towel rail. The paint may not be able to handle the temperatures and will crack & flake off. Painting the towel rail may also impact the heat transfer efficiency, as the paint will create a seal. The paint may also reduce the unit's lifespan, as it will damage the protective coating. If you choose to paint your existing towel rail to white or vice versa, you may also void the warranty.
The better option is to choose a new heated towel rail in a colour that suits your bathroom décor or your preferences. If you can't find the colour you want, contact our friendly staff & we will guide you through the many finish choices available at our online store.
- How to clean white towel warmers?
To keep your towel warmer and looking fresh, give it an occasional cleaning to stop dust from building up. Always make sure it's switched off and has cooled down fully before you begin. Once it's safe, wipe the surface with a soft cloth dipped in a mild soapy solution, then rinse with clean water. Finish off with a dry cloth so you don't get streaks or water marks.
Try not to use scouring pads or rough cleaning tools, as these can damage the coating. For any stubborn marks mix of vinegar and water works well. Avoid strong chemical cleaners, as it may affect the finish.
