Collection: Flat Towel Rails

Space is tight in most bathrooms. A flat towel radiator solves this by sitting just 60-80mm from the wall while heating the room well. The straight bars create a clean, modern look perfect for contemporary spaces. Flat designs use wall space efficiently without infringing on your bathroom. Bars run parallel to the wall, providing heat in a slimmer form. In small bathrooms or en-suites, those saved centimetres really help. The style suits minimalist bathrooms where everything must be functional. Flat bars warm the room and hold towels without drawing attention. That’s why they’re popular in modern homes.

Our Flat Towel Radiator Range

The Reina Diva Flat 1200 x 500 White Towel Rail is your standard white finish at a decent mid-height. At 1200mm tall and 500mm wide, it fits most bathrooms without taking up too much space. White bounces light around nicely, which helps smaller bathrooms feel less cramped.

The Reina Ottone 1200 x 600 Brushed Brass Towel Rail brings that warm golden brass tone. Same 1200mm height but wider at 600mm, so there's plenty of room when you've got multiple people sharing the bathroom. Brass has made a proper comeback recently—not just for traditional bathrooms anymore, it works surprisingly well in modern ones too.

The Reina Ottone 800 x 600 Brushed Gun Metal Towel Rail goes shorter at 800mm, but keeps that wider 600mm width. Gunmetal's got that industrial vibe that looks ace with concrete-effect tiles or darker colour schemes. The shorter height but wider format works well when you've got limited wall height but decent width to play with.

The Reina Diva Flat 800 x 500 Anthracite Towel Rail combines compact size with the popular deep grey. At 800mm by 500mm, it's properly compact—ideal for en-suites or genuinely small bathrooms. Anthracite gives you character without going full black, if that makes sense.

The Reina Diva Flat 1800 x 500 Black Towel Rail is the tall one at 1800mm. That height gives you loads of hanging space with proper gaps between towels so they actually dry. Black creates a serious visual impact, especially against lighter walls, where you want the radiator to be a feature rather than hiding away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much gap do flat towel radiators have from the wall behind? Most stick out 60-80mm from the wall, though it varies a bit depending on the model and how the brackets are set up. That's quite a bit less than curved ones, which usually need 100-150mm. Saving that space is the whole point, really. Just check the exact projection measurement before you install—you don't want it catching on door frames or other fixtures.

What is the warranty on these flat towel radiators? You're typically looking at 5-10 years, depending on which model and brand. Reina stuff usually comes with a 10-year warranty that covers manufacturing issues and finish problems—like leaks, dodgy welding, or peeling coating. Verify damage from installation or general wear, but manufacturing defects should be sorted out. Keep your receipt somewhere safe, obviously.

Can flat towel radiators be used with underfloor heating systems? Not as a connected bit of kit, no. Flat towel radiators can be plumbed into your central heating or run electrically on their own. They work fine in bathrooms that've got underfloor heating, though—they just do their own thing separately. Some people use them as a top-up when the underfloor heating alone isn't quite enough, or when they want warm towels without heating the whole floor.

Do flat designs heat as effectively as curved towel radiators? Heating output depends on surface area and bar count, not flat versus curved design. A flat radiator of the same size as a curved one delivers similar BTUs. Flat saves wall space; curved helps hang thick towels.
