Towel bars are staple bathroom accessories in essentially every bathroom design. The inclusion of a towel bar allows you to hold your hand towels and bath towels comfortably in a dedicated area.
Towel Bar Dimensions
Depth of the towel bar - The standard depth of a towel bar will generally fall between 2” and 3” for most towel bars. The depth of a towel bar is determined by measuring how much space is between the wall and the bar on which a towel is held. Depending on the style of towel bar, this measurement can vary.
Thickness or diameter of the towel bar - Typically most towel bars will have a diameter or thickness of about ½” to 1”, with ¾” being the most common. This will be the case for most round towel bars. Rectangular towel bars will vary in how they are made, with some being much thinner, and others being more similar to round towel bar thickness.
Typical size of the backplates or Escutcheon plate dimensions - If a towel bar has any escutcheon plates or backplates, they will typically fall within the range of 3” x 3” or below. The length and width of the backplates will vary depending on the style of the towel bar.
