Product Information

Full details

This Croydex FlexiFix Metra Towel Rail in Black is designed for homeowners looking to add a touch of modern, elegant style to their bathrooms without the hassle of drilling. Its key benefit is the versatile Flexi-Fix installation, allowing for either screw or glue fixing, making it ideal for renters or those who prefer a mess-free setup. A potential caveat is that while glue fixing is strong, it might not be suitable for heavily tiled or uneven surfaces without proper preparation.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the towel rail?

The Croydex FlexiFix Metra Towel Rail measures 80mm in height, 695mm in width, and 60mm in depth.

Can I use any adhesive for the 'no drills' option?

It is recommended to use the high-strength adhesive provided with the Flexi-Fix system for optimal performance and reliability. Using alternative adhesives may compromise the fixing strength.

Is this towel rail suitable for a steamy bathroom?

Yes, the zinc alloy construction with powder coating is designed for bathroom environments. However, regular drying and cleaning will help maintain its finish.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher marks, a mild detergent can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of the universal 'X' plate?

The universal 'X' plate allows you to easily swap out accessories from the Flexi-Fix collection without needing to remove the mounting plate, simplifying future style updates or changes to your bathroom.

Can I install this rail on a tiled wall without drilling?

Yes, the glue-fix option is suitable for most smooth, non-porous tiled surfaces. Ensure the tiles are clean and dry before applying the adhesive.

Does this product come in other colors?

Yes, the Metra range is also available in a Silver finish. Other items in the Metra collection, such as towel rings, are available in both Black and Silver.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail feels loose after installation.

If screw-fixed, ensure screws are tightened securely. If glue-fixed, check that the adhesive has fully cured (24 hours) and the wall surface was clean and dry before application. Reapply adhesive if necessary, ensuring proper surface preparation.

Adhesive not sticking well to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Smooth, non-porous surfaces are best for adhesive fixing. For textured or uneven surfaces, consider using the screw-fix method or consult a professional for surface preparation.

Matt black finish is showing water spots.

Wipe the towel rail dry with a soft cloth after use or when damp to prevent water spots from forming. Clean periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

Pros and Cons

  • Modern and stylish design fits well in contemporary bathrooms.
  • Durable zinc alloy construction with a matt black powder coating.
  • Easy to install, reducing fitting time and complexity.
  • Modular 'X' plate allows for easy future accessory changes.

Cons

  • Glue fixing may require careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • Dimensions might be larger than some minimalist towel rails.
  • Matt black finish may show water marks if not wiped down regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Flexi-Fix system offers two primary installation methods:

  1. Glue Fixing (No Drills): Clean the wall surface thoroughly. Apply the provided high-strength adhesive to the 'X' plate and press firmly onto the desired location. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure before hanging towels.
  2. Screw Fixing: Use the provided template (if applicable) or measure carefully. If using existing holes, align the 'X' plate. If creating new holes, drill appropriately and secure the 'X' plate using the supplied screws and wall plugs.

Once the 'X' plate is securely mounted, the towel rail simply slides and locks into place.

Compatibility: The 'X' plate is universal across the Flexi-Fix collection, allowing easy swapping with other compatible accessories like robe hooks or toilet roll holders.

Care: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the matt black powder coating.
