Benefits of Installing Towel Bars
- No Mold: Because towels placed on the floor do not dry very well, there is a rather high chance that you could promote mold growth on both the towel itself and the floor it lies upon. A towel rod can circumvent that, reducing the prospective damage and ensuring you are not exposed to harmful mold.
- Cleaner Towels: In addition to mold, towels on the floor are subject to absorbing bacteria, increasing your chances of sickness and making your towel less clean in general. Fortunately, though it won’t completely reduce the bacteria your towel is exposed to, a towel rack can help significantly lower the levels and ensure your towel stays clean longer.
- Great Design: Of course, double towel bar sets can also help complete the décor in your bathroom. With hundreds of options and several high-quality brands, you’ll be able to make your bathroom more beautiful than ever before. Check out our product page to see our selection of towel rods.
Tips for Buying
If you go with a trusted name you are certain to get a product that is built to last and with so many options here at PlumbersStock, you are certain to find one that beautifully matches your bathroom.
A towel bar is mounted to the bathroom wall, typically very close to the shower or bathtub for convenience. Dry towels hang on the bar for storage, and once the towel is used and wet, it can be hung back on the bathroom towel bar, which allows it to dry properly. Many manufacturers have created sets of bathroom accessories, which include matching bathroom towel storage accessories (bar shelves, toilet paper holders, and hand towel rings). These sets come in finishes matching the sink faucet and shower/tub trim, so they can be installed in chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, stainless steel, etc.
Tips for Positioning
- Typically they are mounted near the shower or tub for convenience.
- It must be hung high enough to accommodate the length of the towel bar. The standard height for installation is 48 inches from the floor.
- Do not install a bar behind a door, the swinging door and protruding object can damage each other. The bar will usually not reach two studs in the wall. It is recommended that one end be positioned on a stud and a wall anchor be used for the other end.
How to Install a Towel Bar
- Use the hardware included with your purchase as a template to mark exactly where to drill your mounting holes.
- Mark the actual spots where you want to drill your holes with a pencil. Masking tape and a level is a convenient way to measure your hole space.
- Use a drill bit of different sizes for each of the two ends. The wall anchor will require a much larger diameter hole than the screws that are being installed directly into the stud.
- Install the wall fastener into the wall, then mount the hardware onto the wall and place the ends of the bar over the hardware.
- Using the screws included, attach them to the mounting equipment.
