The sky’s the limit
When it comes to the cost of a towel rail, the sky is indeed the limit as from reasonable the rates go way up to exorbitant. A bit of cost related research and comparison via the internet or by physically visiting stores is a good idea. This will not only help by giving an idea of what is a reasonable buy but also showcase a variety of designs and their varying cost price.
The bathroom is not the easiest place
Humid and damp bathrooms need durable fixtures and accessories and so, no matter what the cost or design of the towel rail, durability is of prime importance. It is a waste of both time and money if you are compelled to repeatedly replace rails as some of the weak rails can begin bending even in a month after installation! This can obviously turn into a nightmare scenario and therefore, knowing which material is the best for the price asked for is as important as landing a budget-wise good deal.
The extras
Depending on the price and design, there are towel rails like the heated variety which has become popular. After all, nothing beats a nice warm and cosy towel. Here too there are multiple factors involved as these work on electricity. Make sure the one you buy is energy efficient. Without this essential, be ready for a nasty surprise when you receive an inflated electricity bill. The installation costs too come in as a professional is the best bet when dealing with these matters.
A family towel rail or individual?
Depending on how many people are going to use it, the type of rail can be chosen as lengths to vary to cater to a larger family. Hanging too many towels on a single rail may lead to bending and it is better to have a couple of rails as such an arrangement works better and looks more imposing too.
