Description
Imagine stepping out of a shower or bath to luxurious, freshly-warmed towels waiting for you on a stylish dryer rack. Available in several different models, a heated towel rack from WarmlyYours provides a sleek yet functional design, which is perfect for a variety of home decor styles. Treat yourself to the comfort of warm towels with a heated towel rail.
Our towel warmers are able to provide such a high level of performance at such a low cost (often just 15 cents per day) because of the internal heating elements which turn the bars into sources of radiant heat for warming towels and bathrobes. And not only do these heated towel racks warm your bath towels, they can actually dry them in-between uses.
We offer a wide variety of models with different styles, bar-counts, power sources, and finishes to ensure you find the perfect heated towel rail for your project. All of our models are made of high-quality materials and are designed with an emphasis on performance.
Hardwired or Plug-in Towel Warmers
Choosing the right electrical connection for you is a crucial step in identifying the perfect heated towel rack. WarmlyYours offers both hardwired (meaning the electrical connection is made at a junction-box inside the wall) and plug-in models (with 3-prong plug).
Hardwired
- Provides a visually streamlined look without cords or wires.
Plug-in
- Very DIY-friendly for installation.
- Can be unplugged when not in use.
Free-standing or Wall-Mounted Heated Towel Racks
WarmlyYours offers electric towel warmers that are either wall-mounted or free-standing. Wall-mounted heated towel rails are exactly what they sound like, towel warmers that are installed by attaching them to a wall. These models can be plug-in, hardwired, or dual connection. Free-standing models are always plug-in and have legs to keep them stable. Free-standing towel warmers offer a high degree of flexibility and can be moved anywhere in the room as long as the cord can still reach the outlet.
Both types of heated towel racks are easy to install but our 24/7 Tech Support will always be there to answer any questions that come up.
The majority of electric towel warmers will be wall-mounted, which means they take up less space overall and it will make electrical connections easier (all hardwired towel warmers are wall-mounted). However, free-standing models are a really good choice for small spaces as they can be moved when not in use.
Almost nothing ensures that youll have a good day more than making sure your morning starts off right. A towel warmer, like the Riviera, is a simple but effective way to vastly improve your morning routine by providing you with a touch of high-end luxury in the comfort of your own bathroom. Made of high-quality stainless steel, this towel warmer has more than enough room to accommodate your towels or bathrobes. With its polished stainless steel finish, the Riviera towel warmer adds class and elegance to the bathrooms in your home. Each of the nine curved towel bars are designed to dry and warm large towels or bathrobes easily. Just imagine always feeling the comfort and coziness of a warm towel after your shower or bathe, or waking up on a cold morning and being able to put on a warm bathrobe.
This towel warmer is also dual connection which means that it can be used as is to plug into a standard 120 VAC outlet or it can be modified by a licensed electrician to have a hardwired 120 VAC electrical connection. When this towel warmer is installed with a hardwired electrical connection, there is no unattractive and cumbersome cover plate required because of its unique design. The Riviera is safe and is cETLus listed. It comes with an LED power switch and TempSmart overheat protection to prevent the units surface temperature from exceeding 176F (80C). For peace of mind, the Riviera is covered by our 2-year manufacturers warranty.
Optional towel warmer controls sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install the towel warmer myself or do I need to hire someone to do it for me?
Each towel warmer comes with an instruction manual which fully explains how to install the device from start to finish. If you can hang a picture, you can probably install a heated towel rack. However, for hardwired models, you will need a licensed professional who is certified to do electrical wiring for the final hook-up. |
How heavy/large are the towel warmers?
Weights vary based on design but typically range from 9 to 29 pounds. Even a larger towel warmer will not be a problem when attaching to the wall. As indicated in the instruction manual, you just need to make sure that at least two of the four brackets are attached to a stud. |
Does the towel warmer have an automatic shutoff function?
The heated towel rack is designed to stay on at a relatively constant temperature to keep your bathrobes and towels fresh, warm, and dry. However, should you need to turn the unit off for any reason, you can use the integrated on/off switch on the unit. If youre using a control for your heated towel rack, you may need to shut off the unit there as well. Most of our electric towel warmer models* come with built-in TempSmart overheat protection which will shut the unit down automatically if the unit’s surface exceeds the safety limit of between 149F (65C) and 167F (75C). *Excludes the Elements model. |
How hot does the towel warmer actually get and is there any possibility of damage?
The heated towel rack will heat up to between 100 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It will not produce sufficient heat to injure you if you touch or brush up against it, though you should still exercise caution around the device. Please note that once a heated towel rail is warmed up, the surface temperature will remain constant and can’t be adjusted incrementally. The heated towel racks have a built-in offset from the wall (the size of the offset will depend on which model you purchased); the offset provides sufficient clearance to prevent any damage to the wall. You should also maintain a distance of four inches between the towel warmer and surrounding fixtures. Additionally, nearly all of our electric towel warmer models* come with built-in TempSmart overheat protection which will shut the unit down automatically if the unit’s surface exceeds the safety limit of between 149F (65C) and 167F (75C). *Excludes the Elements model. |
How do I use the towel warmer after it is installed?
Our towel warmers are designed for everyday use and all of them include an integrated on/off switch. Please note that the Ibiza model from the Premier Collection includes additional built-in timer options for controlling the unit. WarmlyYours also offers a wide array of controls that can be used with your heated towel rack. Depending on the control you select, you can program the heated towel rack to your schedule or operate it remotely. Just bear in mind that the heated towel rack is designed to gradually warm towels over the course of a day and does work best when towels are left to hang for about 3 hours. |
How much does it cost to operate a towel warmer?
The cost to operate your model will depend on two different variables: 1.) the wattage of the model youve selected. 2.) the cost of electricity in your area. A quick way to figure out the hourly operating cost is to take the cost of electricity in your area (typically measured in cents per kilowatt hour) and multiple it by the wattage of your towel warmer divided by 1000. For example, the cost to operate an Infinity Towel Warmer (a 150-watt model) in Lake Zurich, IL (where electricity costs 10.44 cents per kilowatt hour) would be less than 2 cents an hour and the formula to figure that out would look like this: $0.1044 x (150/1000) = $0.0156 per hour. |
I already have a heated floor system; can a heated towel rail work in tandem with my floor heating system?
The towel warmer is designed as a stand alone product and will add some warmth to the room (particularly if it’s a small bathroom). It is, however, the perfect compliment to your floor heating system as they will work together to transform your bathroom into a spa-like retreat. |
How close can a towel warmer be installed to a shower or tub? Can it be mounted in a shower enclosure?
A towel warmer can’t be installed in a shower enclosure. A heated towel rack needs to be installed at least 24 away from a wet location like a shower, tub, etc. You’ll also want to check your local electrical code prior to installation. |
Can the electric towel warmer be installed upside down to change the power access point?
Yes, our heated towel racks are electric “dry” (liquid/oil free) units and can be installed “upside down”. |
Can a towel warmer warm up a bathroom?
Yes. A heated towel rack can be used as a supplementary heat source, but in most cases they dont generate enough ambient heat in a room to be used as a primary heat source. |
Can a towel warmer be left on all the time?
Yes, unit is designed to be left on 24/7 if needed. However, for efficient operation, you may want to pair your heated towel rail with a compatible WarmlyYours control. |
Can you control a towel warmer remotely?
Yes, a heated towel rack can be paired with either the Hardwired WiFi Switch or the Plug-in WiFi Switch, which can enable remote control of the units. |
What size wires and breaker will I need for my electric towel warmer?
Wire size and breaker size need to be selected based on the total amperage of the towel warmer(s). For towel warmers installed in bathrooms, a G |
