Single Towel Rails

A single towel rail is a straightforward way to hang a towel, and it fits almost any bathroom. It suits narrow walls, small ensuites and powder rooms where a double rail would feel too large. 

The single bar lets a towel hang flat and open, which helps it dry between uses. It also keeps the look light and simple, and a rail in a matching finish ties in neatly with your tapware and other accessories. 

Choose the length by checking your wall space. A short rail suits a hand towel or a compact bathroom, and a longer rail holds a full bath towel without bunching. Think about projection as well, so the towel does not touch the wall, door or basin when it hangs. 

Position the rail near the shower or bath, at a comfortable height. It has to carry wet towels, so use the supplied fixings or suitable anchors, and fix into studs where you can. 

Finish matters here as well. Chrome, black and brushed tones each give a different feel, and matching your rail to the taps and hooks keeps the bathroom looking planned. 

Browse the range to compare lengths and finishes, and find a single towel rail that suits your space.
