If your towel rail needs to actually heat the room, this is it. The Novara 1200x500mm matt black heated towel rail is the highest-output rail we sell in this size — a substantial 750W (2,556 BTU) at ΔT50, rising to 945W (3,224 BTU) at ΔT60. That's roughly 30% more heat than typical designer 1200x500 rails, achieved through nine chunky, generously proportioned bars and a solid 18.8kg construction with 80mm central connections. Built for main family bathrooms of up to 7–8m² where a standard rail leaves the room cold.

Why Choose the Novara?
Most 1200x500 towel rails top out around 500–600W — fine for towels, marginal for heating a full-size bathroom. The Novara's 2,556 BTU output competes with rails costing £250+ from the national designer brands, letting you skip a second radiator entirely in many bathrooms. The wide-bar design also holds more towel per bar, drying faster. Pair it with black tiles or dramatic onyx tiles, and browse the full designer heated towel rails collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many BTUs do I need for my bathroom?
A rough guide for UK bathrooms is 300–400 BTU per m². At 2,556 BTU (ΔT50), the Novara comfortably covers rooms of 7–8m² as the sole heat source.
What is the maximum system pressure for the Novara?
3 bar maximum working pressure (tested to 4 bar) with a 75°C maximum water temperature. Check your sealed system's operating pressure before ordering — most run at 1–1.5 bar, well within spec.
Why does it have only 9 bars when other rails have 12?
The Novara uses wider, higher-volume bars (6.7L total water content) — fewer bars, but each carries more hot water and more surface area, which is where the extra output comes from.
What connections does it use?
80mm central connections with 1/2" BSP threads — flow and return grouped neatly beneath the centre of the rail.
