What is a Towel Rail Element?

A towel rail element allows you to convert a central heating towel radiator to an electric-only unit. By filling your radiator with water and inhibitor and connecting the element, you can quickly convert it into an electric towel rail. Unlike dry heated towel rails, which require you to replace the entire unit, this solution simply requires you to change the element as necessary, making it a more adaptable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective option.

Thermostatic or Non-Thermostatic Elements?

Thermostatic towel rail elements improve energy economy by keeping temperatures consistent and automatically turning on and off as needed. You may set the heat to your optimum degree of comfort, and our thermostatic models include a 1-5 hour timer, ideal for towel drying. Simply set the timer, and the element will turn off after the specified time.

For added convenience, our latest ER-Wifi model includes smart IoT features that allow you to operate your heated towel rail from anywhere using your smartphone, making it an excellent choice for remote management.

Non-thermostatic towel rail elements, on the other hand, function as a basic on/off switch. Once triggered, they deliver steady heat with no temperature variations. While effective, they are less energy-efficient than thermostatic solutions, which can help you save money by controlling heat output.

Timers and Benefits of Electric Towel Rails

Adding a timer to your electric towel rail improves energy economy while keeping your towels warm. We provide three sorts of timers: booster timers, digital timers, and Wi-Fi-enabled smart timers. Each gives you flexible control over your heating schedule and prevents needless heating, allowing you to conserve energy.

All of our towel rail timers have a built-in fused spur for safe and compliance installation in accordance with UK building requirements, ensuring that your electric towel rail is both safe and energy efficient.

Dual Fuel Kits

Dual fuel kits are suitable for year-round use, allowing you to warm your towels even when the central heating is turned off. They also help to decrease condensation in the summer, which can increase the life of your towel radiator.
