This collection features a wide variety of modern black heated towel rails, combining sharp aesthetics with reliable heat output. From slimline models for compact spaces to larger designs that function as full room heaters, there are options to suit every layout and heating requirement.

Design-Led Heating for Contemporary Spaces

More than just a functional feature, black radiators are increasingly chosen for their visual impact and ability to ground a space. When paired with neutral tiles, bright wall colours, or polished ceramics, a matt or brushed black finish introduces balance, depth, and a designer-led touch.

Our selection includes ladder-style towel warmers, flat-panel radiators, and round-bar designs—all offering generous towel storage while helping maintain a warm, dry bathroom environment. Each piece is crafted from durable materials like steel or stainless steel, with hard-wearing powder-coated finishes that resist scratches, marks, and moisture damage over time.

Heating Options for Every Setup

To suit different installation needs, we offer both electric black towel radiators and dual fuel models. Dual fuel towel rails can be connected to your central heating system during colder months and switched to electric use during warmer weather—ideal for year-round functionality and energy efficiency.

Electric-only towel radiators offer convenient, independent heating that’s easy to install and control, especially useful in smaller spaces or bathrooms without direct access to central heating. Many models include digital timers or thermostats, giving you full control over temperature and timing.

Styles and Finishes to Match Your Space

Whether you prefer a matt black finish for a soft, contemporary look or a more defined brushed black that adds architectural edge, there’s a design to complement both modern and traditional interiors. Our range includes compact vertical models, wider multi-bar rails, and flat panels with high heat output—all with clearly listed BTU ratings and sizes for easy selection.Pair your radiator with matching black or gunmetal radiator valves and accessories for a cohesive finish across your space.

Dual Fuel Compatibility and Electric Heating

For year-round use, our dual fuel black towel radiators are a highly practical solution. These models allow you to operate the radiator through the central heating system in colder months or independently via an electric heating element when the heating is off. This functionality makes them perfect for spring and summer use when you still need dry towels without heating the entire home.

Our electric elements are available in a range of wattages, including 200W, 400W, and 600W, and can be selected with a T-piece, depending on the installation requirements. Some electric elements also come with digital thermostats and multiple settings, giving you full control over heat output and energy usage.

When connected to a power source, the electric element heats the radiator from within, ensuring fast and efficient warmth. These features not only reduce energy consumption but also make dual fuel systems more flexible and cost-effective compared to single-fuel options.

Simple Installation and Easy Maintenance

Installing a black electric towel radiator is straightforward, with most models requiring only a standard electrical connection. The supplied mounting brackets and fixtures ensure a secure fit to the wall, whether you're working with tiled surfaces or plasterboard.

Maintenance is equally simple. To preserve the finish, wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners. Periodic checks for signs of wear—such as minor scratches or moisture marks—will help maintain the radiator’s appearance and performance over time.

Bathroom radiators are available in a variety of sizes to suit different layouts, heating needs, and design preferences. Popular options such as 1200mm x 500mm and 1200mm x 600mm provide excellent heat output and ample towel space, making them ideal for medium to large bathrooms. These taller radiators work particularly well on narrower walls where vertical space is available. For more compact areas such as en-suites or cloakrooms, smaller models like 800mm x 500mm or 800mm x 400mm offer a space-saving solution without compromising on functionality. Despite their smaller footprint, these radiators still provide efficient warmth and are perfect for keeping towels dry and rooms comfortable. Each size is designed with both performance and practicality in mind, allowing homeowners to choose a radiator that fits their space while meeting their everyday needs.

Precision Control with Radiator Valves

Every black towel radiator requires compatible valves to manage heat output. Our matt black radiator valves and brushed brass towel rail valves are available in several types.

We offer valves in angled, straight, and corner configurations to suit a variety of pipework layouts. For example, angled valves are used when pipework rises from the floor, while straight valves are best for connections from the wall. Corner valves specifically designed to connect a radiator to the heating system when the pipework comes out of the wall at a 90-degree angle

Finishing Touches: Pipe Covers and Accessories

To complete the installation, black radiator pipe covers offer a polished finish by neatly concealing exposed pipework. These covers also help protect the connection between radiator and floor, preventing dust and debris from affecting long-term performance. Typically supplied with round base plates, they enhance the overall presentation of your heating system for a tidy, cohesive look.

Browse our matt and brushed black towel radiator range to discover heating solutions that combine bold design with practical performance. From dual fuel flexibility to precision valve control, every detail is considered to deliver lasting comfort and elegance in any bathroom setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What size bathroom radiator should I choose for a standard family bathroom?

For an average-sized family bathroom, a radiator measuring 1200mm x 500mm or 1200mm x 600mm is often ideal. These sizes provide a good balance between heat output and towel storage, helping to keep the room warm and your towels dry. Be sure to check the BTU rating to ensure the model suits your room’s heating requirements.

2. Is an 800mm x 500mm radiator powerful enough for a small bathroom or en-suite?

Yes, an 800mm x 500mm radiator is typically well-suited for smaller bathrooms, en-suites, or cloakrooms. It offers efficient heating and sufficient towel space without taking up too much wall area. This size is a practical solution for spaces where every inch counts.

3. Do radiator sizes affect the heat output (BTU)?

Yes, larger radiators generally have a higher BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating, meaning they produce more heat. For example, a 1200mm x 600mm radiator will typically provide more warmth than an 800mm x 400mm model. It’s important to consider both size and BTU to ensure your chosen radiator meets the heating needs of your bathroom.
