Heated Towel Rails: What Actually Matters (From People Who Sell Them Every Day!)

Heated Towel Rails: What Actually Matters (From People Who Sell Them Every Day!)

A question we get often on the showroom floor is "Is that going to rack up my power bill?"  Fair question! Nobody wants to install a heated towel rail only to discover it's expensive to run. The good news is that most of the common concerns - running costs, leaving them on overnight, vertical rails and bar spacing, are all based on myths rather than facts. Once you know how heated towel rails actually work, these worries are easy to put to rest.  At Elite Bathroomware, our team helps homeowners, designers and builders choose heated towel rails every day. We stock a wide range of leading brands that have heated towel rails in their product range, including Code Interiors, Heirloom, Atlantis and Newtech. That means our advice isn't based on selling one product, it's based on helping customers choose the right solution for their bathroom. Running Cost & The Goldair Timer The Goldair power-saving timer is the single easiest way to bring the number down, and it's why it's included as a standard addition, rather than treating it as an optional extra. Instead of having your rail running continuously, the timer automates the whole cycle. Heat when you need it, off when you don't! No remembering to flick a switch before bed or manually managing the drying window. You set it once around your schedule and it does the rest. The savings aren't a trick or a gimmick. It's simply the rail drawing power for a scheduled window instead of all day, every day.  Every Code Interiors heated rail includes a Goldair power-saving timer as a standard. Manufactured by one of New Zealand's most recognised home heating brands, Goldair's timer is simple to use, reliable and designed to help you get the most from your heated towel rail without the guesswork.  Another brand we stock at Elite, Heirloom, has select heated towel rails that include ESP (Energy Saver Pulse) technology.  ESP is a smart electronic controller built into select heated towel rails to cut power by up to 50% while keeping towels warm and dry. Instead of using a basin on-off timer, it toggles between two main power levels using a simple touch pad. The Heirloom Genesis 825 Ladder in Chrome & the Heirloom Genesis 1025 in Chrome are available in the Power Saving Timer alternative.  Here's what it looks like in actual dollars: Published NZ figures for running a heated towel rail vary widely, from roughly $44 a year on a 4 hour timer and up to $260-$310 if left on continuously. The gap is real, and it comes down to two things, the wattage of the element and how many hours a day it's drawing power. The spread is exactly why usage time often has a bigger impact on running costs than small differences in wattage. A rail left running continuously sits at the top of the range regardless of how efficient the element is. The same rail on a scheduled timer, running around your towel usage, sits close to the bottom of the range.  Can You Leave It On Overnight? The short answer: yes. This is one of the most common things people assume is wasteful or risky and neither are true at a normal household use. A heated towel rail isn't a heater in the room-warming sense, it's a low-wattage element built to run for long stretches without an issue. Leaving it on overnight to make sure towels are properly dry by the morning is what they are designed for.  If you want to keep an eye on cost, the Goldair timer handles that for you. But running it overnight occasionally or as a habit isn't going to damage the unit or blow out your power bill in the way people assume it will.  Vertical Rails: The Misconception Vertical rails get a bad rap. The usual complaints we hear are "they don't hold enough towels" or "they look flimsy next to a horizontal ladder". Neither of these complaints are really about the vertical rail itself, they're more about the bathroom.  Vertical rails are better for narrow spaces, tight ensuites or walls where a horizontal ladder simply won't fit. Because the bars run vertically, rather than horizontally, you get more hanging points for the wall space they occupy. For smaller Auckland bathrooms especially, vertical rails often hold more usable towel space than a horizontal one, crammed onto the same wall.  The underrated reputation isn't a myth to bust - vertical rails were never competing with horizontal ones as they solve a different problem.  At Elite we have a few brands that offer vertical heated towel rails, such as; Code Interiors offer both a Nature Style or Lineare Style. Heirloom offers vertical rails in Heiko, Aura and Studio Styles.  Atlantis offers vertical rails in Icona Chateau and Icona Mont Styles. Newtech offer vertical rails in Titan, and Polo Styles Why the Bar Spacing Looks Odd (But Actually Makes Sense) Customers sometimes look at our ladders and ask why the gaps between the bars aren't even. It looks, at a glance, like an inconsistency.  But it's deliberate! The uneven spacing is built for how towels are actually used, not for symmetry on a spec sheet. Wider gaps lower down allow for larger sized bath towels, or towels folded multiple times, so they hang properly and get full airflow, instead of bunching. Tighter gaps up the top suit hand towels or folded towels that need a second bar for draping. You may think evenly spaced bars look nicer, but it's the uneven bars that actually work when you hang your full towel. Why Some Rails Run Patchy The single most common complaint across the whole category isn't a safety issue; it's rails that run hot at the top/bottom and lukewarm in the middle. It's a cheaper unit problem and it's the kind of thing you don't notice until you've owned one for a few months.  It comes down to the build and quality of the product. A rail with an undersized or poorly placed element can't carry consistent heat the full length of the ladder, so the bars furthest away from the element run cooler. That's a component problem and happens when rails are built down to price rather than standard.  One advantage we've seen with premium heated towel rails is more consistent heat distribution. Brands such as Code Interiors are designed with correctly sized and positioned heating elements to deliver more even warmth across the rail, rather than concentrating the heat around the connection point. It's one of the differences we encourage customers to look for when comparing options in the showroom.  What Separates a Good Heated Towel Rail from a Cheap One? Not all heated towel rails are built the same. While most look similar at first glance, differences in heating, elements, materials, finishes and the overall construction can have a noticeable impact on performance and longevity.   At Elite Bathroomware, we stock a carefully selected range of heated towel rail brands to suit different budgets and styles. If you're looking for a premium option, Code Interiors is our standout recommendation. Designed with consistent heat distribution, durable construction and high-quality PVD finishes, Code Interiors heated towel rails combine everyday performance with contemporary design.  Alongside Code Interiors, we also stock trusted brands including Heirloom, Atlantis, Newtech and more, each offering their own strengths in design, finish options, and price point. Our role is to help you compare the differences and choose the heated towel rail the best suits your bathroom.  The Auckland Humidity Problem  East Tamaki and the greater Auckland region run humid. That’s the real reason these sell, not the warm-towel feeling. Damp bathrooms don’t dry towels properly on their own, especially through winter. A folded, damp towel left on a hook is exactly the environment that mould and mildew need. A heated rail (timer or not) keeps towels properly dry between uses. Finding the Right Type for Your Bathroom At Elite Bathroomware, we have a large range of ladders, vertical rails, horizontal bars, and floor standing rails. Each one is built to solve a different bathroom problem. Ladders are the all-rounder. Wide bar spacing at the bottom, tighter up top, built to hold a full range of towels at once. If you’ve got the wall space and want maximum hanging capacity, this is the default pick. Shop all heated towel rails & ladders here. Vertical rails earn their place in narrow bathrooms and tight en-suites. Running the bars up rather than across means more hanging points per metre of wall, which makes them a better fit where a ladder simply won’t sit without crowding a door, mirror or vanity. Shop all vertical rails here. Horizontal bars suit bathrooms where wall width isn’t the constraint, but height is. Think of a low window or sloped ceiling. A single or double bar gives you drying space without needing the full wall space. If you’re after more of a statement look, stack 2 of 3 horizontal bars vertically to hang multiple towels. Shop Horizontal Rails here. Floorstanding rails are the answer when you have little or no space on the walls, and they give you the same heated drying function as a wall mounted rail. None of these are the ‘correct’ choice in general. The right one is whichever best suits your bathroom layout, wall space and style. How Much Does It Cost to Run a Code Interiors Heated Towel Rail? Code Interiors heated towel rails are among the cheapest appliances to run in your home. The exact cost will depend on the size, but at New Zealand’s average power price of about 39c per kWh, most cost only 2-6 cents an hour. Used with the included Goldair power-saving timer for a few hours’ morning and night, that’s roughly 10-30 cents a day. Frequently Asked Questions: Q:  Will a heated towel rail blow out my power bill? A: Not with a timer. Running costs range from roughly $44 per year on a scheduled timer, compared to $260-$310 per year when left on continuously. See the real numbers above in our table for Code Interiors heated towel rail range. Q: Is it safe to leave on overnight? A: Yes. Heated towel rails are built for long, low wattage runs, overnight use is normal, not risky. Q: Are vertical rails worse than horizontal ones? A: No! They’re built for different spaces. Vertical rails suit narrow walls and smaller bathrooms, while horizontal suits wider walls with more towel volume. Q: Do I actually need one, or is it just a nice-to-have? A: In humid Auckland bathrooms, it’s more than just comfort! It keeps towels dry which helps keep mould and mildew from setting in. Q: Why do some heated rails feel warm at the bottom and cool at the top? A: Usually an undersized or poorly placed element, this is typically seen on lower end or cheaper heated towel rails. Q: Can I install a heated towel rail by myself? A: No, it is not recommended. Elite recommends that all heated towel rails are to be installed by a qualified electrician.  In short: a heated towel rail isn’t one thing doing one job. It’s the timer helping keep your power bill under control. The element of warming your towels evenly instead of leaving cold patches, the spacing of bars being built for how you actually hang towels and the style that suits your space. Get these four right and the ‘warm towel’ part takes care of itself. Still not sure which heated towel rail is right for your bathroom?

Big Style, Smarter Spaces: Space-Saving Bathroom Ideas for Small Bathrooms

Big Style, Smarter Spaces: Space-Saving Bathroom Ideas for Small Bathrooms

Big Style, Smarter Spaces: Bathroom Ideas That Maximise Every Centimetre  Whether you're renovating a compact ensuite, updating a family bathroom or simply looking to reduce clutter, smart design choices can completely transform how your bathroom looks and functions. Creating a spacious bathroom isn't always about adding more square metres. Often, it's about making better use of the space you already have. By choosing products designed specifically for compact layouts, you can create a bathroom that feels open, organised and effortless to use. From wall hung vanities and shower niches to compact corner baths and vertical heated towel rails, these simple design decisions can make even the smallest bathrooms feel larger. Shop the Collection 1. Utilise Underused Corners with a Compact Corner Bath Corners are often the most under-utilised areas in a bathroom. While a traditional bath can occupy an entire wall, a corner bath makes use of space that would otherwise go unused. The result is a more open floor plan that instantly makes your bathroom feel larger. The Code Interiors 1400mm Corner Bath is a smart solution for smaller bathrooms, ensuites and compact family bathrooms where a full-length bath simply won't fit. Why it works:  Creates a more open floor layout Makes use of otherwise wasted corner space Ideal for smaller bathrooms Retains the luxury of a bath without sacrificing valuable room. Shop 1400 Corner Bath 2. Think Vertically with Heated Towel Rails Once you've reclaimed your floor space, the next opportunity is your walls. Vertical heated towel rails provide a practical place to warm and dry towels without taking up unnecessary room. Their slim profile makes them ideal for bathrooms where every centimetre matters. By thinking vertically instead of horizontally, you can improve functionality while maintaining a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. Why it works Frees up valuable wall space Perfect for compact bathrooms Keeps towels warm and dry Adds functionality without visual bulk Shop the Heirloom 850 Towel Warmer 3. Make Use of Empty Wall Space Walls are often the most wasted surface in a bathroom. Simple additions such as robe hooks and shower glass hooks create practical storage without taking up a single centimetre of floor space. Use robe hooks to organise towels, robes and clothing, and utilise unused shower glass to keep towels within easy reach while showering. Small details like these can significantly reduce clutter and make your bathroom feel more organised. Why it works: Reduces floor clutter Creates convenient everyday storage Makes use of unused surfaces Easy to incorporate into any bathroom design Shop Robe Hooks 4. Build Storage Into Your Walls One of the easiest ways to create a cleaner bathroom is to push storage into the walls instead of out of them. Shower niches eliminate the need for bulky caddies, baskets and additional shelving, creating a streamlined look while keeping everyday products organised and accessible. It's a simple solution that delivers a big impact in smaller bathrooms. Why it works Removes the need for extra storage accessories Keeps shower essentials organised Creates a cleaner aesthetic Reduces visual clutter Shop Shower Niches 5. Choose a Wall Hung Vanity Wall hung vanities are one of the most effective ways to make a bathroom feel larger. By exposing the floor beneath, they create a sense of openness and make the room appear more spacious without changing its footprint. They also make cleaning easier and contribute to a more contemporary bathroom design. Why it works Creates the illusion of more space Exposes additional floor area Easier to clean underneath Provides a modern, streamlined look Shop Wall Hung Vanities 6. Replace Hinged Doors with Fixed Panel Shower Screens Traditional hinged shower doors require clearance to open, which can make compact bathrooms feel cramped. Sliding and fixed-panel shower screens eliminate this issue, helping to create a more open and comfortable layout. It's a simple switch that can dramatically improve the functionality of smaller bathrooms. Why it works Eliminates door swing clearance Makes bathrooms feel larger Creates a cleaner aesthetic Improves overall flow Shop Glass Shower Panels Designing a Smaller Bathroom Doesn't Mean Compromising Thoughtful design choices can completely transform how your bathroom feels and functions. By incorporating space-saving products such as compact corner baths, wall hung vanities, shower niches, vertical heated towel rails and clever storage solutions, you can create a bathroom that feels bigger, more organised and easier to live in. If you're ever unsure where to start, the team at Elite Bathroomware is here to help. Bathrooms made simple.

5 Favourite Bathroom Themes that will Inspire your next design

5 Favourite Bathroom Themes that will Inspire your next design

Coastal / Hamptons Bright, airy, and evoking the tranquil ambiance of the seaside, a Hamptons-style coastal bathroom offers a serene retreat to both begin and end your day. Originating from the affluent coastal enclave of the Hamptons on Long Island, New York, the Hamptons style embodies elegance and sophistication. Often Featuring blue paneled vanity fronts or a feature wall with white and bright surroundings. A coastal hamptons colour pallete can pair well with a wide range of tapware. We recommend gold for a summery seaside feeling, and silver, gunmetal or black for a cooler marine vibe. Warm the space up with timber accents or wooden styling such as wicker light shades or wooden hooks. Bring in plenty of bright light and perhaps some minimal coastal ornaments or decorations such as dried bunny tail grass, marine stripe towels, ocean art work, or hanging some sailors rope.   Modern / Japanese Inspired The Japanese approach to bathroom design is closely linked with simplicity, minimalism, and zen. Black can be used to create a sense of sophistication or luxury, and is closely associated with japanese design through the practice of yakisugi. Also called shou sugi ban, this ancient technique chars the wood's surface, giving it a dark hue and increased durability.  To reduce shadows and brighten the use of black, welcome natural light and place LED lighting beneath floating vanities, within shelving, or consider a led lit mirror. Other decorative elements could include stones or concrete features, bamboo plants or indoor palms, or a japanese style bath. Yakisugi isnt the only way to welcome this Japanese inspired colour palette into the your bathroom design, black tiles or corregate offer a modern and timelines Japanese inspired look.  Paired with warm timbers and cool toned tapware such as gunmetal, chrome or matte black. Black basins pair beautifully with a wooden vanity.  Keep the bathroom minimal and zen feeling with seamless hidden storage, shower niches and recessed shelving. Floating elements such as wall hung vanities and toilets work to create sense of lightness, spaciousness and calm. French Farm House Inspired The French Farmhouse and modern barn aesthetic is undoubtedly one of the most popular design styles for bathrooms. Inspired by the french countryside where rustic farmhouses feature weathered oak vanities and small stand alone basins, reclaimed wood shelving and stools, vintage seats and pottery, and traditional stone tiles such as travertine or terracotta.  Keep the lighting natural and soft - Candles, incandescent farm style lights, shuttered windows or a french door with sheer linen curtains. Bring in french greenery such as indoor olive trees, or a vintage jug of fresh roses. Romanticise your bathroom space in true french mannor, by displaying what makes your bath time a ritual - collections of scented soaps, vintage jars with bath salts, a stool for your book or radio. A popular tapware choice with the french farmhouse aesthetic is brushed brass or copper. These options te in beautifully with the warmth often found in the creams, terracotters and timbers.  Of course, claw foot baths are an iconic statement in any french inspired bathroom. often near a french style window where you can soak up the countryside view.   Scandinavian Inspired Scandi style channels the use of asymmetry. In the pursuit of a tranquil space, intentional "imperfections" such as the imperfect tiles and an asymmetrical ladder prove more inviting than flawless lines, yet the outcome remains impeccable. Embrace raw materials for a foraged look with recycled timbers, variations of baskets, or perhaps a vase of branches. Common Scandi style bathrooms stick to neutral tones and timbers, but adding a little bit of colour won't hinder a Scandi-style bathroom. Select a serene colour palette and experiment with colour. This could include a sage coloured basin or forest green tiled shower. Light and timeless tapware such as silver or white are popular with scandi style. However gold and copper pairs great with wood tones too. Keep the space minimal, warm, and light. Sheer curtains for add a feminine and soft feel. Warm whites and creamy neutrals such as Resene rice cake go brilliantly with with light soft wood tones. Balinese Inspired Achieve a serene atmosphere in your bathroom by incorporating minimalist decor in neutral shades and diverse natural textures. Introduce tropical plants and scattered shells to elevate the sense of escapism. Central to this aesthetic are plants. Consider sourcing a variety that thrives in bathroom conditions to complete the look. By integrating bamboo furniture and incorporating natural fibers and textures, you can seamlessly introduce the captivating beauty of Bali's aesthetics into your home.

Bathrooms on a Budget

Bathrooms on a Budget

Renovating your bathroom is exciting time to redesign the space you often start and end each day. It's important to get results that reflect your style and lifestyle but also work with your budget. At Elite we want to help you create designs and choose products that suit your style and price range So, before you begin your bathroom revamp, we have created a useful budget-friendly guide packed with product suggestions, tips, tricks, and suggestions that will help you save..   Tapware finishes Tapware can really set the tone for a bathroom look. Choosing at tapware finish that can be easily matched with other accessories in the same colourway creates a cohesive, tidy and luxurious look. Chrome tapware and bathroom hardware is consistent and timeless in a bathroom. It is the most commonly found and the most cost-effective colour in our showroom. Brass and gunmetal finishes are premium, but clients could substitute for brushed nickel or matte black tapware as a middle-of-the range price option.   Lighting One great tip that anyone can incorporate with their bathroom revamp on any budget is better bathroom lighting. By upgrading your lighting, you can create a luxury mood and ambient feel in your bathroom. Bathrooms can be dark with not much natural light. Having good ceiling lighting as well as target lighting around the vanity and mirror is important. A couple of ways that you could incorporate modern lighting into your design is by adding a strip light under the vanity, using modern light fixtures, or investing in an LED mirror. At Elite, we have some of New Zealand’s most advanced LED bathroom mirror lighting products available.   Large Tiles The top choice for bathroom flooring is tiles. Whether you are incorporating tiling on your floors, walls or both, choosing a larger format is a great tip to saving money on your bathroom renovation. Larger format bathroom tiles such as 600x600 are both easy to lay and require less grout lines. Large tiles on bathroom floors and/or bathroom walls also work to make a small space feel larger. Small tiles and mosaic tiles are more time consuming and require more labour to get set right. At Elite Bathroomware, we stock a wide range of bathroom floor and wall tiles that can be paired with any colour palette and style. A couple of ways that you could incorporate modern lighting into your design is by adding a strip light under the vanity, using modern light fixtures, or investing in an LED mirror. At Elite, we have some of New Zealand’s most advanced LED bathroom mirror lighting products available.   Vanity Size One of the first elements in a bathroom clients wish to redesign in a renovation is their bathroom vanity. It can be a great place to start to form a style for the rest of the bathroom space. Before selecting your bathroom vanity products, think about your vanity size. The amount of surface space and bathroom storage needs, depends on their preference and lifestyle. However, when working on a budget, standard sized vanities with moulded basins can cut costs. Although the trend at the moment is to have basins sit on top of a stone benchtop on a timber look cabinet, these add cost compared to a traditional moulded basin. We have a large range of vanities we keep in stock in selected colours and sizes, which makes them affordable and also available faster. Storage is one of the most important aspects of the room. Acrylic Showers One of the main features in your bathroom space is your shower. Designing a space to wash where you feel relaxed in your own oasis. Creating a beautiful shower space on a budget tends to mean staying away from tiled showers. Adding tiles adds a huge expense, both in terms of product and labour costs. It also often requires council consent. Acrylic showers are a great option to renew your shower space without a massive price tag. At Elite, we have a huge selection of styles and sizes to choose from to suit every situation.
