FAQ's
- Is a white heated towel rail a good colour choice?
Yes, white is a wonderful neutral that pairs well with any colour. The white heated towel rails at QS Supplies come in classic & contemporary designs to suit your style preferences. They are also available in various finishes, including brushed, matte, metallic, sparkling, gloss, & sparkling, so you can choose the white you prefer that meets your bathroom's aesthetic.
If you have an existing heated towel rail that is a different colour and would rather have a white towel rail, we recommend replacing it with from our collection rather than painting it. We do not recommend painting heated towel rails, as this can reduce its efficiency, damage the protective coating & void the warranty.
- Are white heated towel rails as efficient as black or dark colour options?
White heated towel rails are generally as heat-efficient as black or dark-coloured ones. While towel rails in darker colours may emit heat a bit more effectively because they have better thermal radiation properties, the difference is so minimal you will not notice it. The efficiency of the towel rail depends more on the BTU, wattage, size & tubes than the colour.
- Can I paint a white heated towel rail?
We do not recommend that you paint a white heated towel rail, as the paint may not be able to handle the temperatures & 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 white heated towel rail, 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 a white heated towel rail?
We recommend cleaning your white heated towel regularly to keep it dust-free. To do so, ensure it is off and completely cooled down, then use a wet cloth dipped in a mild, soapy solution to give it a thorough clean. Once done, use a wet cloth to rinse off any soap residue & use a dry cloth to polish it.
Don't use abrasive scouring pads or cleaning tools, as these can affect the coating. If there are stubborn spots, you can use a mix of vinegar & water to break down the residue. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as these can also affect the coating on your heated towel rail.
