For example, if you are using a BTU calculator, you have to ensure that it is one that allows you to specify that the room is a bathroom or kitchen. 

Make sure that the radiator is rust resistant

All radiators should be rust resistant, but it is even more important in bathrooms. You'll find that many towel radiators will go rusty within a year or two and this is because they haven't been treated properly and because they're made of a rust susceptible material, such as aluminium. The best choice of material for use in the bathroom or kitchen is stainless steel. This is because it is the most resistant to rust out of all the radiator materials. 

Make sure it has sufficient rungs

Many people assume that beach towel occupies a single rung at a time. This is not true. You need at least two rungs per towel in order to ensure that the radiator produces enough heat to dry the towel within a reasonable time.  Allocate at least two rungs per towel.
