Towel Warmer
Towel warmers are heated racks that dry and warm towels and robes, adding hotel-like luxury to home bathrooms. Beyond comfort, warm towels dry faster between uses, reducing mustiness and extending time between washes. Many models also serve as bathroom heaters.
Electric models plug in or hardwire; hydronic models connect to home heating systems. Freestanding units offer flexibility; wall-mounted versions save floor space.

💡 Pro Tip
Size the towel warmer for your typical towel load—a small warmer won't heat large bath sheets effectively. Timer or switch control prevents unnecessary energy use. Heated floors and towel warmers together create true spa comfort.
