Heated Towel Rail
A heated towel rail brings hotel style comfort into your bathroom while keeping your towels warm, dry and fresh. Unlike a standard towel bar, a heated rail radiates gentle warmth that helps prevent moisture, dampness and musty odours. This makes it ideal for bathrooms with limited ventilation or for families who use multiple towels each day.
At Arova, our collection includes electric heated towel rails designed for Australian homes. You can choose from finishes such as chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, brushed gold and gunmetal so it is easy to match your tapware and bathroom fittings.
If you are looking for a taller product with more hanging space, you may also like our collection of heated towel ladders.
