Which finish should I choose, chrome or matte black?

Match the finish to your tapware. Chrome suits almost any bathroom, reflects light in smaller rooms and is the easiest to pair with existing fittings. Matte black gives a stronger, graphic look against light tiles or timber vanities, and suits bathrooms with black tapware and shower fittings. Choose one finish for every accessory so the room looks planned rather than pieced together.

Should I choose a towel rail or a towel ring?

A towel ring holds a single hand towel and suits the wall beside a basin, especially in a powder room or small ensuite where a long rail would crowd the space. A 630mm single towel rail holds a bath towel, and a double rail holds two, which suits a family bathroom. The 235mm hand towel rail sits between the two, giving a neat spot for a hand towel to hang flat.

Where should Cosmo accessories be installed?

Place towel rails where you can reach them from the shower or bath without stepping onto a wet floor. Fit a robe hook behind the door or beside the shower screen. Install the toilet roll holder within easy reach of the seated user, and soap holders, baskets and shelves at a comfortable height inside the shower or above the vanity. Check the position against doors, screens and vanities before drilling.

How are Cosmo accessories fixed to the wall?

Each accessory screws to the wall through a mounting plate. On a tiled wall, use a tile bit and start with a small pilot hole to avoid cracking the tile, then use wall plugs that suit the wall behind. For towel rails and shelves that carry more weight, fix into a stud or noggin where you can, or use heavy-duty plugs. Set rails level with a spirit level before marking the holes.

How do I clean Cosmo accessories?

Wipe them with a soft damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull chrome and mark matte black. Matte black shows water spots more readily, so a quick dry wipe after showering keeps it looking even. Rinse soap holders and baskets regularly so residue doesn't build up.
