Bathroom Double Towel Rails

Double Towel Rails That Combine Style, Strength, and Convenience

Double towel rails are essential for keeping towels organised, dry, and within easy reach, elevating both function and form.

Buildmat’s range is designed for Australian homes, offering a variety of styles, finishes, and installation methods to suit every renovation. Whether you’re reworking a busy family bathroom or adding luxury to an ensuite, these rails offer practical storage with designer appeal.

Styles

Choosing the right double rail style transforms towel storage into a design statement. Wall-mounted rails save floor space and keep towels neatly displayed, while heated towel rails introduce luxury and seamless integration, ensuring your renovation feels bespoke and considered from the ground up.

• Wall-Mounted Double Rails: Fixed close to the wall, offering two parallel bars for maximum hanging capacity without using floor area.

• Heated Double Rails: Plumbed or electric, these gently warm towels on both bars, ensuring cosy towels even on cool mornings. Adds a layer of comfort, warming your towels for a touch of hotel-inspired luxury.

Installation Types

Quick, secure installation means less downtime and faster project completion. Surface-mounted rails attach easily to existing walls for a streamlined DIY upgrade, while stud-mounted options provide professional-grade stability and a trim-free look. For heated towel rails, plug-in models make retrofits simple, and hardwired versions integrate quietly into new builds, adding premium comfort without disrupting your timeline.

• Surface Wall-Mount: Quick install on any wall type using provided anchors: perfect for DIY projects.

• Stud-Mount: Bolts into timber or metal studs for superior stability under heavy loads.

• Plug-In or Hardwired (Heated Rails): Choose a plug-in model for easy retrofitting or a hardwired/plumbed version for seamless integration.

Application Types

Different spaces call for tailored solutions. Double rails in family bathrooms keep multiple towels accessible for busy mornings. In en suites and powder rooms, compact or heated towel rails add a luxury touch without overwhelming limited wall space.

Laundry areas benefit from portable freestanding rails, offering drying capacity exactly where and when it’s needed, helping renovators solve storage and functionality challenges across the home.

• Family Bathrooms: Wall rails keep bath and hand towels separated and accessible for each family member.

• Ensuites & Master Baths: Heated rails provide a spa-like touch, warming towels for ultimate comfort.

• Powder Rooms & Guest Bathrooms: Slim double rails fit into tight spaces while offering ample hanging capacity.

• Laundry Areas: Freestanding or wall rails serve as dedicated drying stations for hand-washed items.

Colours & Finishes

Choosing the right colour and finish of your double towel rail ensures longevity and style harmony with your sink mixers and fixtures. 

Polished chrome offers a bright, reflective surface that coordinates well with classic bathroom hardware, while matte black makes a bold, low-maintenance statement against light tiles. Brushed nickel and brass provide a softer metallic tone that warms the space, and stainless steel delivers unmatched corrosion resistance in humid environments.

• Black: Striking, low-sheen surface that resists fingerprints and water spots, black towel rails are perfect for creating contrast against light tiles or cabinetry.

• Brass Gold: Warm, luxurious tone with a softly reflective finish, brass gold towel rails elevate traditional and modern schemes alike.

• Brushed Brass: Rich, golden-hued finish with a matte texture that exudes vintage elegance.

• Brushed Gold: Soft, muted metallic with a lustrous sheen that adds warmth and sophistication.

• Gunmetal: A deep, metallic charcoal shade, gunmetal towel rails add an industrial sophistication, pairing seamlessly with concrete or stone accents.

• Brushed Nickel: A subtle and satin-textured finish, brushed nickel towel rails offer timeless versatility and an easy match to nickel or chrome tapware and soap dishes.

Shapes & Profiles

Rail shape and profile influence both usability and visual impact. Straight bars offer a clean, contemporary look that aligns with minimalist design trends, while curved bars cradle towels to prevent slippage and encourage airflow for quicker drying. Angled arms promote better drainage, and tubular profiles feel smooth to the touch, reducing sharp creases in your towels.

• Straight Bars: Classic, minimalist lines that suit modern and industrial interiors.

• Curved Bars: Gentle arcs help towels hang securely and dry more evenly.

• Angled Arms: Slight downward tilt ensures water drips into the basin or floor tray.

• Tubular Profiles: Rounded cross-section that’s comfortable to handle and reduces towel creasing.

Accessories & Finishing Touches

Complete your towel rail installation with matching bathroom accessories that enhance functionality and unify your design. Pair rails with fixtures like robe hooks, toilet roll holders and hand towel holders in the same finish to create a cohesive hardware suite.

• Robe Hooks & Hand Towel Holders: Coordinated by finish and style for seamless hardware integration.

• Bathroom Shelves: Installed above rails for toiletries, décor, or extra storage.

• Coordinated Tapware: Extend your chosen finish into basin mixers, bath mixers, and shower heads for a unified scheme.

Buildmat’s double towel rails offer renovators a combination of practical storage, enduring materials, and designer finishes that turn a functional necessity into a key styling element. Make drying towels an effortless part of your bathroom’s refined look.
