Designed for bathrooms where space, simplicity and discreet installation are particularly important, the Aubyn Concealed Hot Tree Heated Towel Rail from Rutland London offers an elegant slimline alternative to a conventional heated towel rail. Its distinctive vertical form, concealed heating connections and integrated towel hooks make the Aubyn particularly well suited to contemporary bathrooms, luxury hotels and carefully considered residential interiors.

Each Aubyn Concealed Hot Tree Heated Towel Rail is handmade to order at Rutland London's family-owned factory in Hampshire, England, using high-quality 32mm diameter DZR brass tube. Substantial 83mm diameter brass wall plates complete the design, reflecting the emphasis on material quality, skilled craftsmanship and longevity found throughout Rutland London's bathroom and heating collections.

The defining feature of the Aubyn is its concealed installation. When specified for central heating or dual fuel operation, the flow and return connections are incorporated within the wall returns, removing the requirement for conventional exposed radiator valves and creating a significantly cleaner appearance.

This concealed arrangement makes the Aubyn particularly attractive for luxury hotel and hospitality bathrooms, where designers may wish to prevent guests from adjusting radiator valves while maintaining a refined and uncluttered interior. It is equally effective within luxury residential bathrooms where visible pipework and heating controls would otherwise compromise the overall design.

Rather than conventional horizontal towel bars, the Aubyn incorporates integrated brass hooks, providing practical positions from which towels and robes can be hung and warmed. Its slender vertical proportions also require considerably less wall space than many conventional heated towel rails, making it particularly useful within compact bathrooms or interiors where available wall space is limited.

Despite the warmer climate of Dubai, the UAE and wider Middle East, a heated towel rail remains a practical luxury within a carefully designed bathroom. Extensive use of air conditioning can create noticeably cooler interior environments, making warm towels and robes particularly enjoyable after bathing or showering. Regular operation can also help towels dry more effectively between uses, providing a useful everyday benefit even where conventional room heating is rarely required.

For many UAE projects, the Aubyn can be specified as a standalone electric heated towel rail, allowing independent operation without requiring a conventional central heating system. This configuration is particularly practical for luxury villas, apartments, hotels and hospitality projects throughout Dubai and the wider Middle East.

Where suitable infrastructure is available, the Aubyn can alternatively be connected to a central heating system. For projects requiring greater operational flexibility, a dual fuel configuration combines central heating operation with an electric heating element, allowing the towel rail to be used independently when the principal heating system is switched off.

Due to the Aubyn's concealed design, suitable pipework and access must be incorporated within the wall behind the heated towel rail. Installation requirements should therefore be considered during the design and construction stages of the bathroom. Where an electric or dual fuel configuration is specified, installation must also comply with the applicable local electrical requirements and bathroom electrical zoning regulations.

For luxury villas, private residences, hotels and hospitality projects throughout Dubai, the wider UAE and Middle East, the Aubyn provides an elegant solution where conventional towel warmers may be visually or spatially unsuitable. Its combination of handmade English construction, 32mm DZR brass tube, concealed connections, integrated hooks and slimline proportions makes it particularly appropriate for projects where functionality and architectural simplicity are equally important.

The Aubyn Concealed Hot Tree Heated Towel Rail is available to purchase online in Polished (Unlacquered) Brass. As a living finish, Polished (Unlacquered) Brass will naturally age and develop a distinctive patina over time, with the rate and extent of this change dependent upon the environment in which the product is installed.

The Aubyn can also be produced across Rutland London's portfolio of 40+ handcrafted finishes, spanning Brass, Bronze, Nickel, Copper and Gold, allowing the towel warmer to coordinate with the wider brassware and bathroom accessories specified throughout the interior.
