Gio Bella Towel Rails

Thirty three wall mounted towel rails from Gio, split almost evenly: sixteen single rails and seventeen double. They are the same fittings people search for as Gio towel rails and Gio Plumbing towel rails, and the wording in the titles moves around a little. Como and Verona call theirs a towel bar, Rieti simply calls it a single rail or a double rail. They are the same class of fitting.

Single or Double

A double rail carries two bars on one set of wall fixings, which is the answer in a shared bathroom or a family bathroom where two towels have to dry at once without stealing a second stretch of wall. A single rail is the cleaner line and is usually enough next to a shower or in a guest bathroom where one bath sheet hangs. Thirteen of the fourteen ranges here list both, so the choice does not lock you out of a range.

The Length Is in the Title

Fourteen of the thirty three state a length, and that is how most people choose. Messina's single is 620mm. Malta runs 690mm in both single and double. Demola and Varese sit at 760mm. Como and Verona list their towel bars at 60cm. Torino gives you the widest choice: a single at 760mm, 900mm or 1000mm, and a double at 760mm or 900mm.

Measure the clear wall before you choose, not the towel. You need the run of tile the rail will span plus room at each end for your hand, and on a wall broken by a door, a window reveal or a shower screen the longer rails often will not fit. The other nineteen titles do not carry a length, so check the individual product page for the dimension before you order.

Matching the Rest of the Bathroom

Eleven Gio ranges run right through the accessories, so a rail here has a towel ring, a robe hook and a paper holder to match in Como, Demola, Fiorano, Malta, Nova, Rieti, Roma, San Marco, Torino, Trapani and Verona. Demola lists its 760mm single and double in black, and those sit with the rest of the black fittings on Gio Bella black. The full accessory set is under Gio Bella bathroom accessories, and the brand as a whole is on the Gio Bella hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do Gio towel rails come in?

Fourteen of the thirty three state a length in the title. Messina's single is 620mm, Malta is 690mm in single and double, Demola and Varese are 760mm, and Como and Verona list their towel bars at 60cm. Torino is the widest ladder: a single at 760mm, 900mm or 1000mm and a double at 760mm or 900mm. The rest do not state a length, so check the product page.

Should I get a single or a double towel rail?

A double carries two bars on one set of fixings, so it dries two towels in the wall width of one rail. That suits a shared or family bathroom. A single is the quieter line and is usually enough beside a shower or in a guest bathroom where one bath sheet hangs. Several ranges offer both, so you do not have to choose the range on that basis.

How much wall space do I need for a towel rail?

Measure the clear tile, not the towel. Allow the stated length of the rail plus a little room at each end so your hand clears the wall and the door or shower screen does not foul it. On a broken wall the 900mm and 1000mm Torino rails often will not fit, and a 620mm or 690mm rail is the more realistic choice.

Can I match a Gio towel rail to the rest of my accessories?

Yes, if you pick from the ranges that run right through. Como, Demola, Fiorano, Malta, Nova, Rieti, Roma, San Marco, Torino, Trapani and Verona each cover the towel rail, towel ring, robe hook, glass shelf, soap dish, toilet brush holder and paper holder, so the whole bathroom can be kitted out in one range and one finish.

Are there black Gio towel rails?

Demola lists both its 760mm single and its 760mm double in black, and they appear on the Gio Bella black page with the rest of the black fittings. Beyond those two and the brushed Inox rail, the titles here do not state a finish, so take it from the product page rather than from the photograph, which can read warm or cool depending on the lighting.
