Barra is a single-bar dry electric towel rail that runs on a safe 12V supply, so you can fit one, two or three bars to create your own layout. Brushed nickel gives a subtle, understated sheen, cooler than brass but gentler than chrome, and it is very forgiving of splashes.
It is made from stainless steel and supplied with its transformer. Choose the width to suit your wall, and add more bars to build a two or three bar layout.

Help choosing
A towel rail should keep the bathroom warm, not just dry towels. Check it's powerful enough for the room.
Enter your room size to see the heat output you need.
- Match the output to the room. Use the BTU figure from the calculator. In a bathroom, a towel rail alone often heats a small room; bigger rooms may need a radiator too.
- Check your connections. Measure the gap between your pipes and choose valves to suit: angled, straight or corner (see the valve helper on our valve pages).
- Heat pump? At the lower water temperatures heat pumps run at, expect roughly half the listed output.
- Summer use. Central heating rails only warm up when the heating is on. A dual fuel kit adds an electric element where the rail supports it.
