Bathroom Heating in Melbourne: Heated Towel Rails, Non-Heated Rails and Space Heating

Heated towel rails and bathroom heating make a real difference to comfort and practicality in a Melbourne bathroom, particularly through winter. At Apadana Design, our heating range brings together 93 products from Thermogroup across heated towel rails, non-heated towel rails, Thermorad towel dryers and space heating, all available with free shipping across Melbourne.

Whether you are adding a heated rail to a bathroom renovation or replacing an existing towel rail with a non-heated option, our range covers every style, size, finish and voltage requirement.

Our Heating and Towel Rail Range

We stock four product categories across our heating and towel rail collection:

Heated Towel Rails

Electrically heated towel rails that warm and dry towels while adding ambient warmth to the bathroom. Available in 12V low-voltage and 240V standard voltage configurations to suit different electrical setups. Heated options range from entry-level Thermorail 12V rails such as the VS900HPL Vertical Single Polished ($619) through to the premium Jeeves range including the Spartan Boxx, Tangent L and Tangent M series, priced from $1,699 to $3,099.

Non-Heated Towel Rails

Standard towel rails without an electrical heating element, used purely for hanging and organising towels. Non-heated rails are the most accessible option in the range, starting from $159 for the Thermorail single bar options (USR6 in Polished Stainless Steel and USR6B in Matte Black). Non-heated options also include ladder rails, vertical rails and swivel rails in both round and square bar profiles, making them suitable for a wide range of bathroom designs and layouts across Melbourne.

Thermorad Towel Dryers

Thermorad is Thermogroup's dedicated towel dryer range, distinct from standard heated towel rails. Thermorad units are designed specifically for efficient towel drying and are suited to bathrooms where keeping towels dry and fresh between uses is the primary goal.

Space Heating

Dedicated space heating products for raising room temperature in bathrooms and other spaces. Space heating options in our range complement heated towel rails in bathrooms where a single rail is not sufficient for full room warmth, particularly in larger Melbourne bathrooms or in homes with high ceilings.

Product Series

Our range is built around two product families from Thermogroup:

Thermorail

Thermorail is the core Thermogroup range covering both non-heated and 12V heated towel rails in a variety of bar profiles and configurations. Key series within Thermorail include:

•       Swivel rails (USV24, USV35, SV35, SV43, SV68): round and square profile swivel towel rails that fold flat against the wall when not in use. Available in non-heated and heated options from $479.

•       Heritage Ladder (SB34M): a straight round heritage-style heated ladder rail in Polished Stainless Steel, currently on sale from $1,039.

Jeeves (Premium Heated Rails)

Jeeves is Thermogroup's premium heated towel rail range, offering larger, more powerful and more design-forward options for Melbourne bathrooms where the heated rail is a prominent design feature. Key Jeeves series include:

•       Spartan Boxx (T52SPR, T52SBKR): in Polished Stainless Steel ($2,179) and Satin Black ($2,229).

•       Tangent W Swivel (W11SR): a premium swivel heated rail in Polished Stainless Steel at $1,699.

Finishes and Colour Options

Our heating range covers one of the widest finish selections available in Melbourne, from classic metals through to designer and statement colours:

Standard and contemporary finishes:

Polished Stainless Steel, Polished Chrome, Matte Black, Satin Black, Satin White, Matte White, Brushed Stainless Steel, Brushed, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Brass, Brushed Brass PVD, Brushed Bronze, Brushed Bronze PVD, Brushed Gold, Brushed Gold PVD, Brushed Gun Metal, Gunmetal and Warm Brushed Gunmetal.

Statement and accent colours:

Rose Gold, Dusty Pink, Horizon Blue Pastel and Lilac Satin Pastel. These finishes suit bathrooms where the towel rail is intended as a deliberate colour accent rather than a background fixture.

Materials and Build Quality

Every product in our Melbourne heating range is selected for quality, safety and long-term performance in a bathroom environment:

•       Stainless steel and high-grade metal construction that resists corrosion, moisture and heat wear in daily bathroom use.

•       PVD finish options on select Brushed Brass and Brushed Gold rails for enhanced scratch and tarnish resistance over standard electroplating.

•       12V and 240V heated options to suit different electrical configurations and waterproofing zone requirements in Australian bathrooms.

•       All heated products meet Australian electrical safety standards for bathroom wet area installation.

Brand

Our entire heating and towel rail range is from Thermogroup, Australia's leading manufacturer of heated towel rails and bathroom heating products. Thermogroup produces under multiple sub-brands including Thermorail (core range), Jeeves (premium heated rails) and Thermorad (towel dryers), all backed by Thermogroup's track record for quality manufacturing, finish durability and technical support across Australian bathroom renovations.

Tips for Choosing Your Bathroom Heating

1.     Decide on heated or non-heated first. Non-heated rails from $159 are purely for hanging towels. Heated rails add warmth and active towel drying. If your bathroom is already warm or you simply need a towel hanging point, a non-heated Thermorail is a practical and cost-effective choice.

2.     Choose 12V for safety in wet zones. 12V heated rails are recommended for installation within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of a bathroom (closer to the shower or bath) and are generally considered the safer option for older Melbourne homes where wiring may not support full 240V installation near wet areas.

3.     Match the rail size to your towel needs. A single bar rail suits one towel. A six-rung Spartan or Tangent L suits a full family bathroom where multiple towels need to dry simultaneously. Choose bar count and rail size based on household use rather than wall space alone.

4.     Match the finish to your tapware and accessories. For the most cohesive result, match your rail finish to your shower mixer, tapware and accessory finishes. Polished Stainless Steel suits chrome tapware. Matte Black suits matte black accessories. Brushed Brass or Brushed Gold suits warm-toned bathrooms.

5.     Consider a swivel rail for compact bathrooms. Swivel rails in the Thermorail SV series and the Jeeves Tangent W fold flat against the wall when not in use, reducing the footprint of the rail in narrow Melbourne bathrooms where a full-projection ladder rail would intrude into the space.

Questions About Our Heating Range

Q. What types of heating and towel rail products do you stock?

We stock heated towel rails, non-heated towel rails, Thermorad towel dryers and space heating products, all from Thermogroup. Products are available with free shipping across Melbourne.

Q. What is the difference between a heated and a non-heated towel rail?

A heated towel rail has an electrical element inside the bars that heats up, warming and drying towels and adding ambient warmth to the bathroom. A non-heated rail is a standard wall-mounted bar for hanging towels only, with no electrical component. Non-heated rails start from $159 in our Thermorail range.

Q. What is the difference between 12V and 240V heated rails?

12V heated rails run on low voltage and are recommended for installation within wet zones of the bathroom close to showers and baths. They require a transformer but are considered safer in these positions. 240V rails operate on standard household current and are typically installed in drier areas of the bathroom. An electrician can advise on the correct specification for your Melbourne bathroom layout.

Q. What finishes are available for towel rails and heated rails?

Standard finishes include Polished Stainless Steel, Polished Chrome, Matte Black, Satin Black, Satin White, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Brass (including PVD), Brushed Gold (including PVD), Brushed Bronze (including PVD), Brushed Gun Metal, Gunmetal and Warm Brushed Gunmetal. Statement colour options include Rose Gold, Dusty Pink, Horizon Blue Pastel and Lilac Satin Pastel.

Q. What is the Jeeves range?

Jeeves is Thermogroup's premium heated towel rail sub-brand, offering larger, more powerful and more design-forward heated rails for Melbourne bathrooms where the rail is a prominent design feature.
