Electric Towel Rails Buying Guide

Providing comfortable warmth, these electric towel rails are built with specially formulated thermal fluid that is incredibly heat-retentive, promoting energy-efficient bathroom heating. Once the towel rail is switched on, the liquid heats up and spreads across the body of the heater, ensuring an even distribution of warmth in your bathroom. Quick to warm up and slow to cool down, the heat produced from these towel rails can be felt long after the heater has stopped drawing power from the wall. Complete with a slender ladder design, it’s no wonder that oil-free bathroom radiators are a popular choice for many.

Best suited for: Small, medium and large sized bathrooms.

For fast-acting bathroom heating, dry thermal towel rails make an excellent choice. They work by using a stretch of conductive wire – this wire warms up and emits radiant heat across the front surface of the towel rail. As a result, the heater warms anything that’s in front of it, e.g., your towels. Thanks to their robust radiant warmth, the heat they produce is long-lasting, so you won’t need to use as much energy to maintain comfort levels.

Best suited for:  Those looking for an exceptional towel-drying solution. 

Electric towel rails are 100% efficient at point of use, converting every watt of energy drawn from the plug socket into usable heat. This means that absolutely nothing is wasted, so you can rest assured that every penny put toward your energy bill is being used to warm your bathroom.

When paired with a renewable energy source such solar panels or a green energy provider, these heaters become completely efficient from start to finish, for total carbon neutrality.

From 24/7 programming to on-the-go app control, most electric towel rails come with a whole host of energy-saving features that are designed to boost efficiency and ease steep running costs.

With electric towel rails, you don’t need to extend your pipes or have a boiler fitted – in fact, this heating solution requires minimal effort when it comes to installation. Whilst these heaters aren’t DIY-friendly, hardwiring is a quick, simple job for any qualified electrician, so lengthy callouts and costly fees can be easily avoided. Electric towel rails also come with a zero-maintenance guarantee, so you won’t need to waste time and money on annual safety checks – hassle-free heating at its finest.
