Towel rail with electric heating element

A method of assembling a towel rail having i) first and second vertically extending, elongate, tubular supports which oppose and are spaced apart from each other, ii) a plurality of spaced apart, horizontally extending, tubular beams, each having a first end and an opposing second end, and iii) a plurality of holes formed in a side of each of the first and second supports, through which holes each first end of each beam extends into the first support and each second end of each beam extends into the second support, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) threading an elongate flexible electrical heating element through one of the supports;
• (b) looping an appropriate length of the heating element through each hole of the one support to form a looped section associated with and extending out from each hole of the one support, thereby forming plural looped sections;
• (c) threading each looped section through a respective one of the beams so that an end portion of each loop extends towards the other, opposing support;
• (d) inserting each of the beams through a respective one of the holes of a selected one of the supports to bring an end abutment surface of each beam into contact with an inner surface of the selected one of the supports;
• and
• (e) locking the ends of the beams with the abutment surface contacting the inner surface of the selected one of the supports by i) passing fasteners at least partially through the selected one of the supports, and ii) engaging the fasteners with the ends of the beams with the abutment surface contacting the inner surface of the selected one of the supports.
