It might seem counterintuitive to buy and install a heated towel rail in the bathroom during the summer, given that you're less likely to need extra heating this season! Yet, there are several compelling reasons why summer can actually be an ideal time for installing this popular bathroom fitting.
While the primary heating benefit of a heated towel rail is more apparent in winter, the hygiene, convenience, and flexibility of dry towels make it a valuable addition to your bathroom even during the summer months. Additionally, having it installed in summer sets you up perfectly for comfort when the temperatures eventually drop.
Here at The Bathroom Showroom, we consider the many advantages of buying and installing a bathroom heated towel rail this summer. 

Five Good Reasons to Buy Your Heated Towel Rail This Summer

1. Humidity Control and Hygiene:
  • Damp Towels are a Summer Problem Too: Even in summer, towels can remain damp for extended periods, especially in humid bathrooms or if not hung properly. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria, mould, and mildew, leading to unpleasant musty smells. A heated towel rail efficiently dries towels, preventing this issue and promoting better hygiene.
  • Reduced Mould and Mildew: Bathrooms are naturally prone to moisture, and summer humidity can exacerbate this. A heated towel rail helps to dry out the air around it, reducing the overall moisture content in the bathroom and inhibiting mould growth on towels, walls, and grout.
2. Independent Towel Drying (Especially with Electric or Dual Fuel Models):
  • No Need for Central Heating: The biggest advantage of having a heated towel rail in summer, particularly an electric or dual-fuel model, is that you don't need to turn on your entire central heating system just to dry your towels. This saves energy and keeps the rest of your house cool.
  • Flexibility and Convenience: Electric and dual-fuel models can be switched on and off independently, allowing you to use them only when needed (e.g. after a shower). This offers year-round convenience for dry, fresh towels while helping you keep energy usage low. 
  • Quick Drying: Even if it's warm outside, you might still want a quick and efficient way to dry towels after showering or bathing. A heated towel rail does this much faster than simply hanging them to air dry, especially if your bathroom has limited ventilation.
3. Planning for the Colder Months:
  • Avoid the Winter Rush: Many people realise they need a heated towel rail once the colder weather hits. Getting it installed in the quieter summer means you avoid the inevitable rush for plumbers and electricians during autumn and winter.
  • Enjoy Immediate Benefits: While the heating aspect might be less critical in summer, you still get the benefit of dry, fresh towels immediately after installation, as well as the ability to make sure there are no problems with your heated towel rail when we do move into those colder months.
  • Easier Installation: Summer is the perfect time to tackle home improvement projects, including installing a heated towel rail. With longer days and warmer temperatures, you'll have more daylight hours to work on the installation. Additionally, you won't have to worry about cold weather affecting the installation process.
4. Space Saving and Aesthetics:
  • Year-Round Functionality: Regardless of the season, a heated towel rail serves as an excellent space-saving solution for hanging towels, and keeps your bathroom tidy and organised. 
  • Enhance Bathroom Aesthetics: A stylish heated towel rail enhances the look of your bathroom all year round, contributing to a more luxurious and organised feel.
5. Fantastic Summer Price Deals:
During the summer months, demand for heated towel rails tends to decrease as people are more focused on outdoor activities and holidays. As a result, many retailers offer significant discounts on these items, meaning big savings for you if you purchase a heated towel rail during the summer.
