Product description
The Bard & Brazier Florian FLB is a floor mounted towel rail measuring 1629 x 665mm, a towel warmer with a smooth, sweeping frame and a distinctly vintage, opulent feel. It is available in 12 hand-applied finishes and as a hydronic rail, with a heat output of 5,328 Btu/h (1561W).
What the price covers: The price shown is for one complete towel rail in the size, fuel type and finish selected, plus a set of valves if you add them in the Valves option. If you need more than one rail, set the quantity before adding to your basket — each rail is priced individually.
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 FLB
The Florian looks best in a traditional or vintage scheme — think period bathrooms, country houses and boutique hotel-style suites. A 665mm width sits comfortably on most bathroom walls, beside a basin or opposite the shower. The 1629mm height makes it a full-height rail with room for several towels and bath sheets. Being floor mounted the legs carry the weight and the pipes come up from the floor, which suits stud walls, tiled panels and period bathrooms with timber floors.
At 5,328 Btu/h (1561W) the FLB is a high-output rail that can act as the main heat source in many bathrooms as well as warming towels. Ask us for a quick heat-loss check if it is the only heating in the room.
Hydronic only
The Florian is made as a hydronic rail only, connected to your central heating (closed system). Bard & Brazier's range chart does not list sealed electric or dual fuel versions of the Florian; if you need an electric rail, look at the La Fayette or Baronial for a similar traditional look.
This model is for closed circuits only — it is not suitable for a direct (open) hot water system when ordered hydronic.

Valves are not included in the rail price. Add them in the Valves option above — Bard & Brazier recommend the Pullman exposed valves, Portobello exposed valves, Penhallam exposed valves for the Florian — and they are made in the same finish as your rail, with the cost added to the price shown. Pipe centres for the valves are 305mm, and the rail projects 343mm from the wall.
Measurements may vary slightly because each rail is handmade, so confirm final pipe positions with us before first fix.
