Correct height of towel radiator above floor

[Andy B]

Hello,

Just doing first fix pipework for a bathroom and two ensuites.

Just wondering what the convention for height above floor for towel radiators is please?

I will be bringing two chrome pipes out of the stud wall at the correct height for angle valves.
I am also putting extra timber noggins in the stud wall to screw the radiators hence have to know the height at this stage.

I have seen 300mm above finished floor but this seems a bit low for towels.

Cheers!

No rule mate , just whatever you think looks best .

Make sure it is above the skirting board.

And low enough If it’s some bonkers tall one

Ok chaps cheers.

I will go for 300mm pipe centres above the floor, should be ok and I can always put an elbow and a short pipe if it's too low.

No set measurement but I bring mine out at around 250mm.

Mine are between 200 & 300 but depends on where the old one sat to be honest.

Also take into consideration tiles and grout lines etc. Also angled or straight rad valves.

If coming straight out the wall look at offset angled valves.
