Emtek Tuscany Bronze Double Towel Bar

Three bar lengths are offered: 18, 24, and 30 inches. Pick by the wall run you have between the vanity edge and the corner or door swing, leaving room for the mounting posts at each end. The 18 inch works for a powder room or a narrow wall between fixtures, 24 inch is the common full bath size, and 30 inch gives you room for two bath sheets folded over a double bar.

Projection is 2-1/4 inches off the finished wall. That is the number to check against a door swing, a shower glass panel, or a toilet clearance before you set the mounting height, since a double bar carries towels on two rails and the hanging towel will sit proud of that 2-1/4 inches.

The rosette is the decorative wall plate the bar posts mount to, and Emtek's Tuscany Bronze program offers it in four patterns: #11, #12, #14, and #15. Choose the one matching the rosette already used on the Tuscany Bronze knobs, levers, or cabinet hardware in the room so the bath accessories and the door hardware read as one set. Every rosette is available in both bronze finishes and all three bar lengths.

Yes. It is part of Emtek's Tuscany Bronze collection, the same decorative family as the Tuscany Bronze knobsets and leversets, and it shares the FB and MB finish codes with them plus the #11, #12, #14 and #15 rosette patterns. Order the towel bar in the same finish code and rosette number used on the doors and the bath accessories will match at the wall.

The Emtek Tuscany double towel bar is offered in a 24 inch width. Two comparable complete sets at that same length are the Delaney Congaree 200 series 24 inch towel bar set and the Orca Hardware Camano 24 inch towel bar set from the 37-Camano series. Both ship as sets with posts and bar, matching the 24 inch wall spread, and both are single-bar rather than double.

The Emtek Tuscany double towel bar carries two bars and is offered in 18 inch, 24 inch and 30 inch widths. If a single bar is wanted at the same three lengths, the Sure-Loc Boulder towel bar and the Sure-Loc Baden towel bar are both catalogued in 18 inch, 24 inch and 30 inch sizes, so the mounting spread can be matched to the same wall layout with one bar instead of two.

The Emtek Tuscany double towel bar is a brass bar built in an 18 inch width. Deltana offers several 18 inch solid brass single bars for comparison: the 55D2002/18 in the 55D series, the 98C2002/18 Classic in the 98C series, and the BBN2002/18 in the BBN series. Each is an 18 inch bar, so the wall spread matches; the difference is the single bar and the series styling rather than the two-bar Tuscany profile.

Emtek lists the Tuscany Bronze bath hardware as residential. For multi-family turns and hotel baths where towel bars get pulled on hard and replaced often, a plainer commercial-style bar such as the Sure-Loc Basic Towel Bar is the more sensible standardization choice. Use the Tuscany Bronze double bar in single-family homes, custom builds, and high-end remodels where it is matching decorative door hardware.

A double bar puts two rails on one pair of wall posts, so you get twice the hanging length off a single set of anchors and one wall penetration pattern instead of two. That matters on a short wall where you cannot fit two separate bars side by side, and it dries towels better than doubling them over one rail. If the wall run is long and you want the towels separated at different heights, two single bars, such as an 18 inch Deltana 55D2002/18, are the better layout.

The Emtek Tuscany double towel bar is styled in the Tuscany theme with a choice of #11, #12, #14 or #15 rosette. For other ornamental profiles, Orca Hardware offers the 36 series Swirl towel bar set, the 27-Cypress series swirl towel bar set, and the 48-Blakely series towel bar set. Delaney also offers the Acadia 900 series towel bar set. Each of those is a full single-bar set with its own decorative post design.
