Heated Towel Rails with Flexible Design Options Perfect for Making the Most of Compact Spaces

Heated towel warmers are a small addition to bathrooms that have a big impact on the overall user experience. Heirloom’s heated towel rails are perfect for adding a touch of luxury while ensuring towels stay dry, warm and fresh. Take advantage of Heirloom's smart design options to incorporate towel warmers seamlessly into your design and bring comfort and style to bathrooms of all sizes. 

Applications

Heirloom’s towel warmers are suitable for a variety of residential projects from stand-alone homes and townhouses, right up to high-density apartments. For higher density projects, the breadth of design options and sizes available makes it easier to incorporate towel warmers into small or unique spaces. 

Three space-saving designs

A choice of Towel Warmer Ladders, Towel Warmer Bars, or Towel Warmer Poles gives architects ample options for maximising space.

Towel warmer ladders

This classic option is available in a selection of sizes to suit different wall configurations. In addition to Heirloom’s Standard and Extended options, this includes three options designed specifically for projects where space is at a premium:

  • Slimline: This option features ladder widths of 460mm in a range of standard heights, making them suitable for narrow wall spaces such as between showers and vanities.
  • Compact: An option available in 460 or 600mm ladder widths with a height of 510mm, making it suitable for areas with limited vertical space,
  • Compact Extended: Available in 850mm wide x 510mm high, this option is ideal for walls with good width but restricted height. 

Towel Warmer Bars

The sleek frameless design and modular form of Heirloom’s towel warmer bars allows for more flexible installation — perfect for bathrooms with a compact footprint. Available in a range of widths, including a slimline 460mm model, designers can adapt the number and configuration of bars to the needs and limitations of each space.

Towel Warmer Poles

Offering a clean, space-saving alternative to traditional horizontal towel ladders, the vertical orientation of Heirloom’s towel warmer poles allows for installation in compact areas of bathrooms, while still providing the luxury and practicality of a heated towel warmer.

Attractive profile and finish options

All three towel warmer options come in a choice of linear and round profiles, and a range of seven attractive finishes including polished stainless steel, brushed brass and brushed copper. This gives designers the opportunity to match other finishings in the bathroom for a cohesive overall look. 

Environmental performance

Heirloom offers a range of energy-saving options for their towel warmers to help minimise energy use. This includes Energy Saver Pulse which features an eco mode that runs the towel rail at 50% electricity usage, Timekeeper options which allow the warmers to be automatically turned on and off and certain times of day, and an Ecowarm option which heats the towel rail at full capacity for four hours, followed by 50% capacity for 8 hours, ensuring towels stay dry. Get in touch with the Heirloom team to learn more about energy saving options available for each model.

Design support

The Heirloom team is available to talk through different design options and help you find the right configuration to really make the most of each unique bathroom space. This support is backed by readily available drawings, certification and documentation to ensure your project goes smoothly. 

History of use

Heirloom introduced electric heated towel warmers to New Zealand in the late 1980s and has since provided heated towel warmers to countless bathrooms across the country for over 40 years. This includes taking their heated towel warmers to bathrooms in apartments and other higher density buildings as density has increased in New Zealand. 

Warranty & maintenance

Heirloom heated towel warmers are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. They are backed by a 10-year warranty.
