Although the device is called a heated towel rail, it would be a mistake to claim that its main function is solely to dry towels.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, explained what else a heated towel rail is needed for and why it should never be dismantled.
The thing is that the device also provides heating for the bathroom – without it, mold formation is inevitable.
If for some reason you are tired of the water heated towel rail, you can replace it with an electric one.
This device has a number of advantages: it is more aesthetic and works all year round, unlike a water one, which switches off when there is no hot water. However, it is worth considering that using an electric heated towel rail will increase your electricity costs.
It is possible to install an electric heated towel rail on any wall except the one shared with neighbors, since the living room is located behind it.
Important: do not rush to purchase a device that is larger in size than its “predecessor”.
As a result of this decision, the pipe on the neighbors' side will become colder, and it will not be difficult to establish that this is your fault.
