Now there’s a question you never thought anyone would ask you. We’re talking about towel radiators of course, which as you probably know come in lots of different shapes and sizes. But they also come curved or flat, and this is an important feature you should consider carefully before making your final decision on what to buy.
The difference between the two types is obvious. The flat one stays parallel with the wall itself and does not protrude into the room. In contrast the curved one bends out into the room slightly. As such they give you very different looks. Which one would appeal to you the most?
One thing worth noting is that you won’t have any difficulty hanging towels on either design. They are made for this purpose after all, so don’t worry about how effective each design is. They are both as good as each other.
What you might want to think about is the amount of room you will have in your bathroom. If you have a nice sized bathroom with plenty of room to move about in, you won’t find a curved towel radiator to be a problem. But if size is really an issue and you have little room for anything else other than the main items – a toilet, a bath and a sink – you may want to opt for a flat towel radiator instead.
This is more for safety reasons than anything else. If you are pushed for space you stand more chance of bumping into a towel radiator that sticks out into the room. Obviously if it is switched on you will find it is very painful to do this, particularly if you are undressing to get in the bath at the time!
As you can see, practical reasons for having a towel radiator can extend to the design as well as to the actual idea of having one. The good news is that whatever you decide to go for, you will find lots of different designs in each particular type. They are available at all kinds of prices as well, obviously depending on how big or tall you want them to be.
So do you want yours to be curved or flat? Once you have made this all important decision you can set about shopping around for the best towel radiator for your situation. Whatever you opt for, hot fluffy towels are just around the corner.
