Radiator v towel radiators

[BluePhase]

Good evening Gents

Just moved in to our new house and we are now in the process of refitting our bathroom. Fitter is coming to start on Friday but we are still unsure on how to heat it. There is currently a very new looking chrome towel rail in there which we were going to re-use but it doesn't seem to provide much heat so we were thinking of changing it back to a standard radiator.

What is the general feeling towards these towel radiators? Are they any good?

Checked the BTU value for our room and we need around 1800 BTU and i reckon the towel rail is only rated at around 1100 (this is only worked out by comparing others of the same size)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

soon as you put towels on a "towel warmer/rail" they dont really giveout much heat rads are better as they have more surface area i would just put a nice looking rad in maybe a stelrad softline or something slim like them
