Summit Description
The Summit is a truly innovative towel warmer that emphasizes both functionality and attractive, modern design. With 8 main heated bars, the Summit is able to accommodate 2 large towels or a bathrobe while the heated 3-bar shelf can keep additional towels toasty. The Summit is made of durable stainless steel and features a matte black finish that can be set against a light colored wall to create a bold, visual impression or set against a dark colored wall to complement its surroundings.
This towel warmer is also dual connection, meaning it can be used “as is” to plug into a standard 120 VAC outlet or it can be modified by a licensed electrician to have a hardwired 120 VAC electrical connection. And when this towel warmer is installed with a hardwired electrical connection, its unique design means there is no unattractive and cumbersome cover plate required. Additionally, this towel warmer is extremely safe and is cETLus listed. The Summit comes with an LED power switch and TempSmart™ overheat protection to prevent the unit’s surface temperature from exceeding 167°F (75°C). The Summit is covered by our 2-year manufacturer’s warranty for peace of mind.
Optional towel warmer controls sold separately.

Yes. WarmlyYours matte black towel warmers use a powder coat finish applied over a stainless steel body. Powder coating involves electrostatically applying a dry powder to the metal surface, which is then cured under heat to form a smooth, durable, matte finish. This process creates a finish that is resistant to chipping, scratching, and corrosion — making it well-suited for the humid bathroom environment.
Matte black is one of the most forgiving finishes when it comes to water spots and fingerprints. Unlike polished or chrome finishes that reflect light and make water marks highly visible, the non-reflective matte surface diffuses light and conceals everyday splashes and smudges. A quick wipe with a soft, damp cloth is all that's needed to keep your matte black towel warmer looking its best.
Cleaning a matte black powder-coated towel warmer is simple. Follow these guidelines:
- Use a soft, damp cloth — microfiber works best.
- For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution is safe to use.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals such as bleach or ammonia, which can damage the powder coat finish.
- Dry the surface after cleaning to prevent water buildup.
With minimal care, the matte black finish will maintain its appearance for years.
The main difference is how the towel warmer connects to power:
- Hardwired: Wired directly into your home's electrical system — no visible cord. Requires a licensed electrician to install. Offers the cleanest, most permanent look. Most WarmlyYours black models (Tahoe, Maple, Malta, Grande) are hardwired.
- Plug-in: Plugs into a standard 120V outlet with a cord. Easy DIY installation — no electrician needed. The Ibiza Freestanding is WarmlyYours' only plug-in black model and requires no wall mounting at all.
- Dual Connect: Can be installed either way — plug-in for flexibility or hardwired for a permanent finish. The Sierra, Summit, and Infinity offer dual connection in black.
If you're renovating and have access to the wall, hardwired is the preferred choice. If you're renting or want a no-commitment option, the plug-in Ibiza is ideal.
Our matte black towel warmers are specifically designed to resist fingerprints and water spots:
- Matte finish: Unlike glossy surfaces, the matte texture doesn't show fingerprints or smudges
- Powder-coated surface: The durable powder coat resists water spots and is easy to wipe clean
- Scratch-resistant: The finish withstands everyday use without showing wear
Care Tips for Black Towel Warmers:
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads
- Dry after cleaning to prevent water spots
Matte black towel warmers are a popular choice for modern bathrooms because they add bold style while being practical and easy to maintain.
