DESCRIPTION

Learn more about the Soho Heated Towel Rail

Understated, elegant and effortlessly timeless, the Soho Heated Towel Rail from Rutland London combines clean proportions with the enduring beauty of handcrafted brass. Its restrained design allows the Soho to complement both contemporary and traditionally influenced bathrooms, making it a versatile choice for luxury residential and hospitality interiors.

Each Soho 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 75mm diameter brass wall and floor plates complete the construction, reflecting the emphasis on material quality, skilled craftsmanship and longevity found throughout Rutland London's collection of luxury bathroom and heating products.

The Soho's appeal lies in the simplicity of its all-brass tubular construction. Rather than incorporating an additional radiator insert or heavily embellished detailing, its carefully proportioned framework celebrates the quality of the material itself. Horizontal heated rails provide practical space for hanging, warming and drying towels, while the clean design retains an elegant architectural appearance.

Without a separate radiator insert, the selected handcrafted finish extends consistently across the Soho's visible brass framework. This makes the towel rail particularly effective when coordinated with basin taps, showers, mirrors and bathroom accessories in the same finish, helping designers create a considered and consistent metal palette throughout the bathroom.

Despite the warmer climate of Dubai, the UAE and wider Middle East, a heated towel rail remains both a practical and luxurious addition to a carefully designed 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, providing a useful everyday benefit even where conventional room heating is rarely required.

For many UAE projects, the Soho can be specified as a standalone electric heated towel rail. This allows the product to operate independently whenever required without needing connection to a central heating or hot water system, making electric operation particularly practical for luxury villas, apartments, private residences and hotels throughout Dubai and the wider Middle East.

Where suitable plumbing infrastructure is available, the Soho can alternatively be connected to a central heating system or suitable hot water system, providing additional flexibility according to the requirements of the individual project.

For installations requiring convenient year-round operation, the Soho can also be specified in a dual fuel configuration, combining a suitable plumbed connection with an electric heating element. This allows the towel rail to operate electrically and independently when the principal central heating or hot water system is not in use.

The Soho's understated appearance makes it particularly versatile across different interior schemes. Within bathrooms incorporating marble, natural stone, polished plaster, decorative tiles or bespoke cabinetry, its brass framework introduces warmth and material richness without competing with the surrounding architecture.

For luxury villas, private residences, hotels and interior design projects throughout Dubai, the wider UAE and Middle East, the Soho provides an elegant alternative to conventional heated towel rails. Its combination of handmade English construction, 32mm DZR brass tube, understated proportions and flexible heating configurations makes it particularly appropriate for projects where material quality, craftsmanship and timeless design are equally important.

The Soho 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 Soho 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 heated towel rail to coordinate with the wider brassware and bathroom accessories specified throughout the interior.

For alternative handcrafted finishes or assistance specifying the appropriate electric, central heating, hot water or dual fuel Soho Heated Towel Rail for a luxury bathroom project in Dubai, the UAE or wider Middle East, please contact our colleagues at sales@rutlandlondon.ae.

FINISHES

Discover more about our brassware & painted finishes

In addition to our comprehensive portfolio of brassware finishes, this product is also available in an array of painted finishes including colours from Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint & Paper Library amongst others.

The rate and extent of this patination will depend on the environment in which the product is installed and should be expected. Patination of a product finish is not considered a warranty issue. If you seek further clarification of the appearance and behaviour of a finish we recommend purchasing a sample from Rutland London.
