What are Aluminium radiators?

The majority of radiators in home and offices across the UK are made from steel. While it’s an excellent material for conducting heat and helping heat a room, it isn’t as good as aluminium radiators.

Are there any advantages of having an aluminium heated towel rail?

We recommend aluminium when you need a towel rail that gets to your preferred temperature in no time at all. Aluminium can transfer heat from water to air through convection very fast.

Are aluminium heated towel rails powerful?

The incredible BTU levels of these towel rails are unparalleled. If you are unsure what BTU level you need to heat a room, use our heating calculator. It will match you with a BTU level to help filter down your towel rail options.

Why aren’t all towel rails made from aluminium?

It mostly comes down to price. The cost of aluminium and the time it takes to make a rail with the material makes it slightly more expensive than using steel.

How do I get a cheap aluminium towel rail?

We want you to find a towel rail that’s within your budget. There is a price filter on the side of this page to help narrow down options that fit in with your ideal price. We also recommend checking out our clearance section to see if any similarly styled towel rails match the look you’re going for.

Do aluminium heated towel rails have a short life span?

We only stock towel rails we know will perform fantastically from the day they’re installed to years down the line. That is why you will usually see aluminium rails having a 15-year guarantee.

What kind of entry do aluminium heated towel rails have?

Typically, because they’re mostly vertical rails, these towel rails have a vertical base entry that directly connects into your heating system. If your current set-up doesn’t allow for base entry, we do recommend taking a look at our radiator valves to see whether you’ll need an angled or corner valve.

What colours do aluminium towel rails come in?

Popular finishes we have in stock include:

• Anthracite
• Satin
• Polished
• White

Are there other anthracite towel rails available?

You may have noticed the majority of aluminium towel rails come in an anthracite finish. If you like the look and want to see something similar, take a look at our current range of anthracite heated towel rails, with almost 100 styles to choose from.

Which brands make the best Aluminium Towel Rails?

There are two brands which are highly rated here at Trade Radiators: Reina and Trade Direct.

Reina is a UK based designer towel rail brand, known for leading design and unbeatable quality. It’s worth checking out some of the Reina stainless steel rails we currently have in stock.

Trade Direct is a unique brand, as it was developed by the Trade Radiators team after realising customers in the UK didn’t have many options when looking for this type of product. That’s why we’ve created a range of products that aim to deliver designer style aluminium rails without the designer price tag.

Do I need any additional items for installation?

When you order an aluminium heated towel rail, it will come with fittings to help your installation. If you were looking to have robe hooks or specific plugs and caps to help the installation look just how you want it, visit our radiator accessories section.
