Product Information

Full details

The Milano Ive 1600mm x 400mm white dual fuel heated towel rail is designed for homeowners seeking to enhance their bathroom's aesthetic and functionality. Its primary benefit is the dual fuel capability, allowing for towel warming via central heating or an electric element, ensuring comfort year-round. A key consideration is that while it offers electric heating, it still requires connection to the central heating system for optimal dual fuel operation. This towel rail features a premium steel construction with a durable white powder-coated finish, a straight bar design, and a generous size for multiple towels.
