What colours do straight towel rails come in?
It used to be that your only option when picking a towel rail was silver alone. We have worked hard to find radiator brands which develop chrome rails in a variety of finishes.
Some of the most popular finishes include:
- Anthracite
- Black
- Black Nickel
- Chrome
- Copper
- Polished
- Silver
- White
The finish you go for will depend on the existing décor of your room and what colour can complement your new towel rail.
What is the difference between straight and curved rails?
All of the towel rails you’ll see in this page are fully straight rails. This means that the rails running horizontally fall in line with the vertical columns. Straight rails are beneficial when you want to keep protrusion from the wall to a minimum.
If you want to see the difference between straight and curved, visit the curved towel rails section or our main towel rail page, as it has images of every popular rail shape.
Which brands make the best straight towel rails?
We only work with brands we trust and believe to produce superior products, which is why there are only a few brands we guarantee can provide the rail experience you’ll be happy with for years to come.
Some of the highest-rated brands amongst customers include:
- Trade Direct – Rails designed and created by the Trade Radiators team. Many of the rails you’ll find in this section were made by Trade Direct as a way to give UK customers designer style rails with the same prices they’ve known to expect when shopping with us.
- DQ Heating – A UK based radiator brand we’ve stocked for many years now. We find their rails to outperform many of the common names you’ll see in DIY stores.
- Lazzarini – You wouldn’t know it, but Italians make fantastic radiators, and Lazzarini is a shining example of this, with straight rails that will never let you down.
- Pisa – The standard-bearer when it comes to simplistic rails. Many customers prefer their chrome and anthracite finishes.
Do I need anything special to install a straight towel rail?
Towel rails are hung on walls just like a radiator, with the only difference being they’re slightly higher up. When you order a new towel rail from Trade Radiators, we will provide the necessary fittings in the box.
Can straight towel rails be used as electric heaters?
Many of the rails in this section can be adapted as dual-fuel rails. This is where an electric heating element is installed so the rail can be switched on, even when you don’t have the central heating on.

Do heated towel rails use more energy?
Straight Towel rails have a lot of power under the surface. Many can work just as well, if not better, than regular radiators of the same size. If you’d like to learn more, we recommend reading The Complete Guide to Heated Towel Rails at our advice centre.
What are straight heater towel rails made from?
The towel rails in this section are made of stainless steel, be that 1.5mm steel or Grade 304 stainless steel. These are the most common type of steel used for making radiators in Europe.
