The power required for an electric heated towel rail depends on its size. Larger rails, whether in terms of height, width, or the thickness of the bars, have more surface area and therefore need more energy to heat effectively.

Below is a breakdown of common towel rail dimensions along with the recommended wattage to ensure efficient heating.
