Understanding the importance of towel rails

Over time, bathroom interiors have gained considerable importance. A modern bathroom should not only be functional, but also aesthetic. Hence, today much importance is given to bathroom taps.

A bathroom can never be complete without towel rails. They are one of the most important bathroom accessories. Towel racks are bars to store towels. They are coat racks, generally hung on the wall, and are used to store both dry and wet towels. Dry towels can be folded and stored on the bars for easy access. Wet towels can be spread over the bars to dry. This prevents wet towels from getting soggy and the subsequent growth of mold on them. Towel bars are usually made of metal and are plated with chrome, nickel, brass or bronze to prevent rust. Towel bars come in two sizes. One is 18 inches (45.72 cm) long and the other is 24 inches (60.96 cm) long. The eighteen inch is used to hang hand towels and are placed near the bathroom sink or in the kitchen. The longest bar, which is twenty-four inches, is used to hang body towels and is placed in bathrooms. Towel bars also come in single bar and double bar designs.

The towel rails are very simple in terms of their structure. They usually consist of a rod, suspended a few centimeters from the wall, which is held on both sides by two posts. The posts are the supports for the rod and are screwed into the wall.

When fixing the bars on the wall, it is extremely important to take into account that the bar must be fixed correctly. It’s important to firmly secure the bar to the wall, not only because wet towels are heavy, but also because people often use towel bars as handholds. Therefore, it is not only about the weight of wet towels, but also about the weight of the human body. The poles must be fixed correctly. In an ideal scenario, the studs should be nailed to the wooden boards that are usually hidden behind the drywall. In case that type of installation is not available, the towel rails should be fixed with the help of a wall anchor. Very often, towel rails are attached to a sturdy board first, and then the board is attached to the wall for additional support.

Sometimes they are also fixed with the help of a pre-fixed support. Two brackets are fixed to the wall with the help of two screws each. The two towel rail posts are then attached to these brackets with simple screws. This not only makes the towel rack firmly attached to the wall, but also the towel rack can be removed and changed at any time quite easily.

In addition to the towel rail, there are a few options available for your use. You can use the standing towel rack, which is generally a shelf that is placed on the floor, and thus, one is saved from all the trouble of fixing the shelf to the wall. Another option is the towel ring, which is a ring that is fixed to the wall and the towel is hung from the ring. A third option is a towel warmer that looks like a ladder. The towels hung on it are dried by the heat generated by the heater.

Now go ahead and choose the one that is most convenient for you. To start your search for the perfect towel rack, start by searching the internet. You will be able to see the catalogs of various bathroom accessories. Choose according to your budget and your need. Go ahead, make your bathroom stylish and functional with the perfect bathroom accessories, and then finish it off with accessories that complement the rest of the decor.
