Product description
The Bard & Brazier D-Rail Floating Hydronic Towel Rail FDR1 takes the best-selling D-Rail and strips it back to horizontal bars only, each one fixed to the wall on its own so the rail appears to float — and runs on your central heating or hot water. Choose from one to five bars, 575mm flange to flange, in 12 hand-applied finishes. Choose the matching INF2 installation frame in the Installation Frame option — it is needed for every new installation and its price is added to the rail.
Home of Clay is a Bard & Brazier stockist. Every rail is made by hand to order at their factory in Wolverhampton, and our team at the Newcastle-under-Lyme showroom in Staffordshire can help you choose the size, finish and fuel type.
Where to use the D-Rail floating hydronic rail
Use it where you want a towel warmer that looks built in: above a bath, on the wall of a walk-in shower area or on a short run of wall between a basin and a window. Outputs range from 110 Btu/h for a single bar to 550 Btu/h for five, so it is a towel warmer rather than a room heater — keep a radiator or underfloor heating in larger bathrooms.
Pricing and availability
Prices shown include VAT and are for the finish and fuel type selected. Bard & Brazier rails are made to order, so confirm the current lead time with us before you order. Bespoke RAL powder-coat colours in matt or gloss are also available on request. Ask for Matt or Greg on 01782 617517 or email sales@homeofclay.co.uk and we will come back to you the same working day.

The installation frame has to go in at first fix, before boarding and tiling, so decide the number of bars and their position early. Every hydronic floating D-Rail has Bard & Brazier's discreet inline valves fitted as standard, so no separate valves are needed.
