Deltana R2006 Double Towel Bar, 24", R-Series

Projection is 5-1/4 inches from the wall face. That's the number to check against a swinging door or a shower enclosure in a tight powder room, since a double bar carries two rails and needs the clearance. The mounting posts are 2-5/8 inches wide at the base, and the bar itself is 5/8 inch round stock.

The 24 inch figure is the towel bar length on the R2006. Each post base measures 2-5/8 inches wide, so plan your wall area around the bar plus the two bases rather than 24 inches flat. Center your blocking or anchors on a clear run of wall with no outlet or trim in the way.

Deltana classes the R2006 as residential. For a single-family home, a condo, or an apartment unit bath it's a normal fit. For a high-traffic commercial or institutional washroom where people hang off the bar, spec a commercial-rated accessory instead, since a residential bar and its anchors aren't built for that kind of abuse.

The Emtek Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar is the nearest peer. Like the R2006, it is a double-bar towel bar in brass and sits in Emtek's Traditional Bath Hardware line, so the styling intent matches the traditional look of Deltana's R-Series. The R2006 is a solid brass 24 inch double bar with a 5/8 inch bar, 2-5/8 inch base and 5-1/4 inch projection, which is the geometry to check your existing mounting centers against when you swap brands.

Step down to a single-bar model. The Emtek Traditional Brass Towel Bar's single-bar counterparts in the same family of bath hardware include the Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar and the Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Bar, both single-bar brass units. The Orca Hardware Camano 24 inch Towel Bar Set is another single-bar option at the same 24 inch length as the R2006. A single bar holds one towel and projects less from the wall, so it suits a narrow wall run where the R2006's 5-1/4 inch projection is more than you want.

No. The Delaney Denali 1100 Series Towel Bar Post Only is the mounting post component, not a complete towel bar, so it does not replace a full unit. The Deltana R2006 is a complete 24 inch double towel bar in solid brass. Order the Denali post only when you are replacing or adding a post to a Denali bar you already have on the wall.

Solid brass, both the bar and the posts. That matters in a bathroom because a plated pot-metal or zinc bar corrodes from the inside once humidity gets past the finish. Solid brass substrate is also why the R-Series carries finishes like oil rubbed bronze and antique nickel that are meant to wear rather than flake.

Eight finishes: PVD polished brass, polished brass, polished chrome, polished nickel, brushed nickel, antique nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and paint black. The PVD polished brass and the standard polished brass are separate options, so if you want the harder PVD coating rather than lacquered brass you have to pick it specifically.

A double bar like the R2006 puts two 24 inch rails on one pair of posts, so you get two towels of hanging space out of a single set of anchors and one 5-1/4 inch projection off the wall. Two singles need two runs of wall and two sets of blocking, but they let towels dry with air on both sides and can be split between users. If wall space is the constraint, the double wins; if drying is, run singles.

For a like-for-like traditional double, the Emtek Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar is the closest peer, also brass and also a double. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar is the other double option if you want a heavier cast look. If you want a matched 24 inch set with the posts included rather than a series piece, the Orca Hardware Camano 24 inch Towel Bar Set and the Delaney Congaree 200 Series 24 inch Towel Bar Set are both sold at that length.

The R2006 is part of the Deltana R-Series, a traditional solid brass bath collection, so it's built to coordinate with the other R-Series pieces (paper holder, ring, hooks) in the same finish. Order every piece in one finish name from the same series and they'll match. Mixing an R-Series bar with a different Deltana series can shift the profile and the finish tone even when the finish name reads the same.

It ships as a complete double towel bar, sold each, with the bar and both mounting posts. Compare that with the Delaney Denali 1100 Series Towel Bar Post Only and the Delaney Cascade 300 Series Towel Bar Only, which are sold as separate components and need the matching half ordered alongside them.

Look at the towel bar sets. The Delaney Congaree 200 Series 24 inch Towel Bar Set matches the R2006's 24 inch length and ships as a set, and the Delaney Acadia 900 Series Towel Bar Set is the same idea in Delaney's Acadia line. Orca Hardware offers set-format bars in the 27-Cypress, 36-Swirl, 37-Camano and 48-Blakely series. The R2006 is sold as a single unit, each, so for a fleet of units where you want the bar and its companion pieces to arrive together, a set is the simpler line item.

The Delaney Cascade 300 Series Towel Bar Only (Square) is the bar by itself in a square profile, sold without the accompanying set pieces. The Deltana R2006 is a complete double towel bar with a 5/8 inch round bar, 2-5/8 inch base and 5-1/4 inch projection in solid brass. If you are replacing a broken bar on posts that are already mounted, a bar-only part is the right shape of order; if the whole assembly is coming off the wall, the R2006 is the complete unit.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar is the other double-bar unit in the group, from Emtek's Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line, and its cast bronze character reads heavier and more rustic than the machined solid brass of the R2006. If you want to stay with the R2006 and just go darker, it comes in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Nickel and Paint Black alongside the brighter Polished Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel and Polished Chrome.

Two peers are specified at the same 24 inch length: the Delaney Congaree 200 Series 24 inch Towel Bar Set and the Orca Hardware Camano 24 inch Towel Bar Set. Both are single-bar sets, where the R2006 is a double bar, so the overall run of wall is comparable but the towel capacity and the projection off the wall are not. Confirm the post spacing on the replacement against your existing anchors before you drill.

For a residential-grade standard across units it works: one model number, one 24 inch size, and eight finishes to pick from means you can lock a single spec and reorder it as units turn. The solid brass build holds up better in a humid bath than plated zinc. Just confirm the wall behind each mount can take an anchor at 24 inch spacing before you commit the whole building, and stay with one finish name across the order so replacements match.

The Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar sits in Emtek's Modern Brass Bath Hardware line and is the contemporary-styled brass bar of the two. The Deltana R2006 belongs to the R-Series, a traditional collection of solid brass bath accessories, so it carries traditional detailing. For a squared contemporary look in a set format, the Delaney Cascade 300 Series Towel Bar Only comes in a square profile.
