Towels by GSM – Discover the Perfect Weight for Every Need
Towels are daily essentials that influence your comfort, hygiene, and even the aesthetic of your bathroom or workplace. At The Towel Shop, we offer a wide range of towels classified by GSM, making it easier for you to select the right towel according to your needs and budget. Whether you’re seeking everyday functionality, hotel-standard durability, or five-star spa indulgence, our GSM-based towel collection has you covered.
What is GSM and Why It Matters?
GSM stands for "grams per square metre" and is a universal measure of towel density and weight. The higher the GSM, the thicker, heavier, and generally more absorbent the towel will be. Towels typically range between 300 GSM to 800 GSM. However, at The Towel Shop, we focus on the most popular and practical ranges: 400, 450, 500, 600, and 700 GSM. Each GSM range serves a different purpose, and your choice should depend on where and how you plan to use the towel.
