Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 28, 2010 2:18 pm We are meant to be getting 600mm wide ones but after measuring the ones we have in this house and the width of our towels, these will be too small (towels are 670mm wide) I just e-mailed my builder to see if we could change and she said to take into consideration that the noggins are already there. I think this weird that my builder would put in 600mm wide towel rails when they won't even fit a normal sized towel without scrunching!! What size are yours?
