Bard & Brazier La Fayette Floating Hydronic Towel Rail

Product description

The Bard & Brazier La Fayette Floating Hydronic Towel Rail FLF1 brings the La Fayette's period ball joints and rounded ends to a modern floating format, with each bar fixed to the wall on its own — and runs on your central heating or hot water. Choose from one to five bars, 585mm flange to flange, in 12 hand-applied finishes. Choose the matching INF1 installation frame in the Installation Frame option — it is needed for every new installation and its price is added to the rail.

What the price covers: The price shown is for the complete set of bars chosen in the Bars option, plus the matching installation frame if you select it. It is not a price per bar. To fit more than one set, increase the quantity.

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 La Fayette 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 145 Btu/h for a single bar to 725 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 update with the number of bars, finish and installation frame you select. 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.

Silver soldered joints — Bard & Brazier use silver solder exclusively for cleaner, stronger joints.

The installation frame has to go in at first fix, before boarding and tiling, so decide the number of bars and their position early. Valves are not included. Bard & Brazier recommend the Concealed Pullman or Concealed Panama valves, which sit flush on the wall panel.
