Towel Radiator alternative

[rcs]

Hi
Does anyone know of a towel radiator that gives off a decent amount of heat but will fit under a window? The size would be limited to 700mm high but length is upto about 1500mm. I'm still considering just putting a normal rad there as having a warm bathroom would be more important than warm towels.
Any advice appreciated.

What is the heatloss for the room?

Thanks for the reply but that's the point. I only have 700mm of height to play with. Not sure what the heat loss is but the room is only 4 sq mtrs with 2 insulated outside walls and a large window.

Sorry mis read your post (hung over and trying to find a new mortgage simultaneously ).

Looks like you'll have to get a normal rad or buy a custom job.

Have you thought about old school rads?

I doubt you'll need much for that room.

Well I can put a 700Hx400W Towel Heater, but would that provide enough heat for the size of room?
Cheers

Hangover and mortgage research? Not a pleasant combo!!

PLUS nearly a months worth of paperwork!!!! aaarrghh

An I gotta clean the house for the wife's reuturn tomorrow 'cos the cleaners didn't turn up.



Anyway... why not fit one it its side? then you can get a bigger one? Get one that has evenly spaced bars otherwise it'll look obvious.

700X400 towel warmer, Phwoar, freeeezzing cold bathroom.

600X1200 Double, uhmmm, really really as warm as toaste

Well that's the way I'm thinking at the mo. Could always get a hanger for the towels over the rad (no airing cupboard). Might not look as good but come winter (and new born!!!!) I think I might regret not putting in a rad.

Put two or three side by side, by coupling the rails with chrome pipe and fittings. BES will supply the chrome fittings.

I did think of putting a few side by side, but even then, the output will still be quite low. I've seen some old fashioned type radiators that have a towel rail built in but they are of an old fashioned style. I would prefer something modern. Hole in the market or a niche?
Thanks for the reply.

Myson have a radiator with a towel rail attached to the front.

You can couple up a few and then put one on another wall as well if space.

Also look here:

Or put in a Myson kickspace under the bath and a towel rail. This will heat the place up no problems. The under bath units have 12 volt electrics.
