Beautifully embellished and unmistakably traditional in character, the Reginald Heated Towel Rail from Rutland London combines classical English design with the practical performance of a high-output Italian column radiator. Its decorative brass detailing and substantial proportions create an elegant focal point for luxury bathrooms while providing generous space for warming and drying towels.

Each Reginald 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 and floor plates complement its embellished joints, while a traditional high-output Italian column radiator forms the functional and visual centrepiece of the design.

The Reginald's embellished brass detailing is central to its classical aesthetic. Rather than the restrained joints found on more contemporary towel warmers, its decorative components celebrate traditional brassworking and give the framework greater visual depth and presence. This makes the Reginald particularly effective within bathrooms where fittings are intended to contribute to the architectural character of the interior.

Surrounding the radiator, the brass framework provides practical space for hanging, warming and drying towels. The Reginald therefore combines the functionality of a traditional bathroom radiator with the convenience of a luxury heated towel rail, providing both meaningful heat output and dedicated towel-warming capacity within a single design.

Despite the warmer climate of Dubai, the UAE and wider Middle East, a heated towel rail remains a practical luxury within a carefully considered bathroom. Extensive use of air conditioning can create noticeably cooler interior environments, making warm towels particularly enjoyable after bathing or showering. Regular operation can also help towels dry more effectively between uses, while the integrated column radiator provides additional room heating where required.

For many UAE projects, the Reginald can be specified as a standalone electric heated towel rail and radiator. This allows the product to operate independently without requiring a conventional central heating system, making electric operation particularly practical for luxury villas, private residences and hotels throughout Dubai and the wider Middle East.

Where suitable infrastructure is available, the Reginald can alternatively be connected to a closed-circuit central heating system. For projects requiring convenient year-round flexibility, it can also be specified in a dual fuel configuration, combining central heating operation with an electric heating element so that the heated towel rail can operate independently when the principal heating system is switched off.

Due to its column radiator insert, the Reginald is designed for connection to a closed-circuit central heating system and must not be connected to a domestic hot water system. Installation on systems using salt-softened water is not recommended unless suitability has first been agreed with the project's installer or heating engineer.

The Reginald's Italian column radiator can be individually specified in colour, providing considerable opportunity to coordinate the product with the wider bathroom interior. The insert is finished using a durable aerospace-grade coating, with a matt finish being the most popular choice, while satin and gloss finishes can also be produced on request. Colours can be near-matched to leading decorative paint collections including Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint & Paper Library.

The relationship between the painted column radiator and embellished brass framework provides considerable scope for individual specification. Against richly veined marble, natural stone, decorative tiles, timber panelling or bespoke bathroom furniture, the radiator can be selected to complement the surrounding palette or specified in a contrasting colour to create a more distinctive focal point.

For luxury villas, private residences, hotels and interior design projects throughout Dubai, the wider UAE and Middle East, the Reginald provides a sophisticated alternative to conventional bathroom radiators and heated towel rails. Its combination of handmade English construction, 32mm DZR brass tube, embellished detailing, substantial 83mm brass plates and a high-output Italian column radiator makes it particularly appropriate for interiors where classical character, craftsmanship and practical performance are equally important.

The Reginald Heated Towel Rail is available to purchase online with its brass framework finished 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 heated towel rail is installed.

The brass framework can also be produced across Rutland London's portfolio of 40+ handcrafted finishes, spanning Brass, Bronze, Nickel, Copper and Gold. This extensive selection allows the Reginald to coordinate with basin taps, showers, mirrors, bathroom accessories and other visible Rutland London brassware throughout the bathroom.
