"Assuming you are talking about a chrome towel rail (radiator), they are very good as you can dry your towels as well as heat the room. A con would be that a chrome version has a lower heat output than a white one. Chrome radiators tend to be more expensive than white options, but they do make bathrooms look more modern and fresh.

"They are just another style of radiator. Only aesthetically different and allow space for multiple towels if your wanting one in your bathroom for example."

"Chrome radiator is good and radiant, it emits heat more than any conventional radiator, it is slightly expensive"

"Biggest drawback to a chrome radiator is quality. If the chrome plating is not done correctly your radiator will rust around the welding."
