Do white towel rails give off more heat than Chrome?
You may not think so, but painted towel rails give off more heat than chrome ones, and significantly so. Approximately, painted towel rails give off 20% more heat output than chrome models.
This is because the chrome is a coating, layered on top of another metal. Essentially, this means that the heat has to go through two metals whereas painted models will not have this issue.
