Benefits of Stainless Steel vs Chrome Towel Rails

Benefits of Stainless Steel Bathroom Radiators

More often than not, what tends to put homeowners off the idea of investing in stainless steel bathroom radiators is the price. Not that they are excessively expensive, but given the fact that chrome and other types of heated towel rails are usually cheaper, it seems to make sense to go with them. However, it’s important to acknowledge the fact that stainless steel products are more expensive for a reason and in terms of value for money have the potential to bring a lot more to the table. What must be remembered is that after being plumbed into a central heating system and positioned in a bathroom, the towel rail chosen will come into prolonged contact with a wide variety of corrosive elements. Stainless steel is specifically manufactured and finished in such a way as to offer maximum resilience and protection, while still looking simply fabulous at the same time. Given the fact that all radiators to be used in the bathroom will be in the presence of constant water and moisture, it simply makes sense to select radiators made from the most resistant material available. While the damage may not always be visible, many types of bathroom radiators have the potential to slowly but surely rust and corrode from the inside, eventually leading to problems with performance and perhaps outright failure of the radiator. And of course, the outside of the radiator may also begin to show damage at the hands of rust and corrosion, which over the course of time has the potential to become quite severe.

Where Stainless Steel Beats Chrome Towel Rails

Along with resilience and durability, one of the primary arguments in favour of stainless steel towel rails is the way in which they are known to conduct heat better than any other standard radiator type – a full 15% better than chrome. So when it comes to performance and energy efficiency, the stainless steel radiator really is in a league of its own. Stainless steel retains heat and goes on giving out heat for much longer than a chrome radiator, adding up to real savings over the long-term. So while it may be true to say that stainless steel towel holders for the bathroom may cost slightly more than their counterparts, what you get for your money is considerably greater performance and long-term value.
