Screwfix curved Towel rail and Brackets

[paulp]

hi
just thought id let you know my experience of fitting this towel rail

So ive been told to "Do" the bathroom by my undemanding wife, off i trot to screwfix to get heated towel rail. When i got it home and started to prepare it for fitting i soon realised that the tubular stand off brackets were useless. Because if you mount the brackets on the wall and hang radiator you will find the brackets will be at an angle due to the curvature of the rails. It does not look good and you can distort the brackets which makes them weak.
The solution to this problem is to get the curved towel rail bracket kit from B&Q!! Yes thats right.The tubular brackets are mounted on a ball which allow you to get the right angle to the wall. I rang screwfix customer services and they are aware of this problem they sent me a £10 voucher to cover the cost of my purchase at B&Q .
This was back in May so hopefully they have addressed this problem.

I've just fitted a 1100 x 500 curved chrome rad from a Builders merchants.
Cost me £20 less than Screwyoufix and the designer rad valves were £8 as opposed to SFX who were £15

I do like the touch of authenticity on Screwfix chrome towel rails.
After a few months the discolouraisation and rust marks sure looks good.

I have gone off SF a bit on price and quality. They used to be better as mail order.
