The Rance Electric Towel Rail

Imagine stepping out of the shower to a warm, toasty towel ready to wrap around you. The Rance electric towel rail can make that luxury a reality. This space-saving stainless steel heater is designed to keep towels dry and warm year-round, even when the central heating is off. Its clever design tackles the common bathroom problem of damp towels with innovative features and quick, efficient heating.

Innovative 4-Arm Design

The Rance’s slim profile (just 475mm tall and 500mm wide) fits easily in compact bathrooms. Its four individual arms pivot out to hold multiple towels at once, maximizing drying space without requiring a large wall area. When not in use, the arms fold back neatly, maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. This smart layout provides ergonomic towel storage and makes access simple after every shower.

Fast, Dry Electric Heating

The Rance uses a dry (oil-free) electric element, meaning it heats up rapidly as soon as you switch it on. Its polished stainless steel bars conduct heat quickly, delivering steady warmth to towels within minutes. At 50 watts (273 BTU), it’s efficient for small to medium bathrooms, giving instant comfort without wasted energy. For best results, consider a model with a built-in thermostat or timer if you want scheduled heating – but even a simple on/off Rance unit can transform cold towels into a warm embrace.

Stainless Steel Construction

Made from high-grade stainless steel, The Rance resists corrosion and retains its sleek polished finish over time. Stainless steel is the gold standard for humid spaces like bathrooms, as it won’t rust and is easy to wipe clean. The modern mirrored sheen complements any décor, making The Rance not just a practical heater but also an attractive focal point in your bathroom design.

Installation & Safety Tips

For safety, always install electric towel rails outside the shower’s immediate splash zone. UK regulations divide bathrooms into zones; towel heaters should be mounted in ‘Zone 3’ or higher. The Rance has an IPX4 splash rating for basic protection, but its wiring or plug must still be kept dry. Hardwired installation should be done by a qualified electrician to ensure full compliance. If you use a plug-in model, simply mount it at a safe height away from water and use a proper RCD outlet.
