Tips for choosing the towel warmer

  The tips for choosing the right towel warmer include

 The type of towel warmer

 Being aware of the types of towel warmers would help you choose the right towel dryer for your home. The types of dryers you can access include.

• Electric towel warmers– These are towel warmers that consume very little power. Here again, you have two types of electric warmers. A dry element might be used as the warmer, or you may have a model that uses the element to heat mineral oil within the unit that works as a warmer. Again, you have hardwired as well as plug-in versions. Both these versions feature on and off switch as well as a timer.
• Hydronic warmers– These systems use hot water in the plumbing to produce heat that is required to warm the towel. You again have two types of systems. The first one is the open system, and the other one is the closed system or specific hydronic system. In an open system, the hot water plumbing system in your home is used as the heating system. In the case of the closed system, there is a dedicated hydronic heating system. However, the installation has to be planned during the construction or remodelling project.

Mounting and installation

Another important factor that has to be considered includes the type of towel warmer that you would like to get installed. It includes types based on installation. They are

• Wall mount ideal for areas with limited floor space
• Floor mount ideal for placement above the tile line, wainscoting, etc.
• Freestanding ideal for flexibility in placement and use

You can choose the type of towel warmer that would be ideal for your home based on the size of the room and where you need to place the towel warmer in the room.

Style

 You have different styles of towel warmers. The most common styles include

• Classic
• Contemporary
• Traditional
• Artistic
• Antique

You also have warmers with curved or straight rails, arched and straight tops, etc. You can choose the style of warmer depending on your taste.

Cost

 The factors that contribute to the cost of the towel warmer include the style, size, and installation type. You have warmers that are available across wide price ranges. You can buy cost-effective units as well as high-quality designer units, depending on the budget you have in mind.

 Apart from the above-mentioned factors, you must also look out for features such as automatic cut-off features or timers that would help save power. Choose the towel warmer of your choice, having the tips in your mind. You can then avoid getting out of the shower to the unwelcoming chill air.
