Flat Heated Chrome Towel Rail 400mm x 1200mm – FHTR4/12

The Flat Heated Chrome Towel Rail 400mm x 1200mm is a slim, tall option for narrow walls where you still want decent towel space.

Where it goes

At 400mm it fits alcoves and the space between a door frame and a corner, while the 1200mm length gives plenty of bars. It works off the wet heating system, fed through a pair of radiator valves that you buy separately. A chrome rail won’t kick out as much heat as a painted rail the same size, which is worth knowing in a chilly bathroom. Have a look at our straight chrome towel rails.

Size

• 400mm x 1200mm
• Chrome, straight rather than curved
• Our code: FHTR4/12

It’s the narrow alternative to the 500mm x 1200mm rail, for when every bit of wall width counts. A slim rail like this also works well on the back of a bathroom door recess or beside a basin, where a wider one would get in the way of the door swing.

Fitting tips

Mark the brackets with a spirit level, as a tall slim rail shows any lean. Make sure the fixings suit the wall, especially on plasterboard. Fit your valves, fill the system and bleed the air from the top before checking all joints.

Common Questions

Is a 400mm wide rail too narrow for a bath towel?

A folded bath towel hangs fine on 400mm. The 1200mm height gives plenty of bars for more than one.

Does the rail only work when the heating is on?

Yes, on a wet heating system it only warms when the boiler is heating the radiators.

How do I keep a chrome rail looking bright?

Wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it. Avoid scourers and strong descalers on the plating.
