950mm Wide Chrome Towel Radiator| 900mm Pipe Centre
14 years supplying UK bathrooms, est. February 2012. Free delivery on orders over £200. 5-year manufacturer's warranty on all towel rails.
The 950mm chrome towel rail delivers a 900mm pipe centre and a near-metre chrome span across three focused heights: 600mm, 800mm, and 1000mm. Outputs range from 1,013 BTU up to 1,730 BTU at standard boiler temperatures — covering rooms from 8 m2 up to 16 m2 as a primary heat source. At 950mm wide, it is a defining architectural element in luxury master bathrooms and premium hotel-specification refurbishments. Central heating, electric, and dual-fuel; 5-year warranty.
Pipe Centre Note: When installing a 950mm wide chrome towel rail on central heating, your pipework should be set at 900mm centre-to-centre for straight floor-entry valves. For wall-emerging pipework, use angled or corner valve offsets.
Technical Specifications & Multi-ΔT Heat Output Table

| 1000mm | 19 | 4+4+4+7 | 891 BTU / 261 W | 1,730 BTU / 507 W | 2,194 BTU / 643 W | 900mm |
Why Choose a 950mm Width Towel Rail?
The 950mm width occupies the space between the 900mm and 1000mm ranges, specifically serving bathrooms where existing pipework is at 900mm centres. The 900mm pipe centre is found in high-specification bathroom installations planned on a 300mm tile grid module.
- Ideal Room Suitability: Large master bathrooms (12-18 m2), luxury bathroom refurbishments, wet rooms with 900mm-grid plumbing layouts, and premium hotel-specification bathrooms.
- Towel Drying Capacity & Ergonomics: At 950mm, three hand towels can hang flat without folding or touching. Two large bath sheets fit simultaneously with an air gap between them — optimal drying conditions for a shared luxury bathroom.
- Installation & Wall Space Considerations: The 900mm pipe centre is a wide spacing found mainly in premium bathroom designs. Allow approximately 1,050mm total wall clearance. Only three heights are available — verify BTU requirement carefully.

Understanding the ΔT30 / ΔT50 / ΔT60 Output Columns
The three output columns in the table above correspond to different heating system types. ΔT50 is the UK standard (BS EN 442) used by most gas boilers; ΔT30 applies to heat pump systems running at lower flow temperatures; ΔT60 applies to older high-temperature gravity-fed systems. For a full explanation of how these figures work, how to match them to your system, and how to calculate the exact BTU your room needs, see our Towel Rail Heat Output & BTU Calculator Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the pipe centre for a 950mm towel rail?
A: The standard pipe centre for a 950mm wide chrome towel rail is 900mm, leaving 25mm clearance on each side for valve connections.
Q: Which rooms is a 950mm chrome towel rail most suited to?
A: The 950mm width is most at home in large master bathrooms (12-18 m2), luxury hotel-style ensuite refurbishments, and wet rooms where the plumbing is set at 900mm pipe centres. It bridges the gap between the 900mm and 1000mm ranges for bathrooms where the wall run is exactly 950mm-1050mm.
Q: What is the maximum BTU output of a 950mm chrome towel rail?
A: The highest output in the 950mm range is the 1000mm-high model at 1,730 BTU / 507W at DT50 (standard boiler). At DT30 (heat pump), this reduces to approximately 891 BTU / 261W. At DT60 (high-temperature legacy), it increases to approximately 2,193 BTU / 643W.
