You are on the page featuring hot water towel rails. Fans of the French brand Acova will be delighted: quality and low prices are the order of the day! Because ManoMano refuses to standardize, there is a wide range of varied models available to you. Whether you're looking for a compact or wide model, with or without a blower, you're spoiled for choice.
The hot water towel radiator, also known as a thermal fluid model, is a very specific type of heated towel rail. It is doubly effective: as its name suggests, it not only dries your towels but also serves as a heating appliance for your bathroom.
Why choose a hot water towel rail?
The real benefit of this equipment is that it's very economical. It is connected to your central heating system and represents a much less expensive solution than an electric radiator. The hot water that circulates inside the bars of your equipment, called vertical and horizontal collectors, therefore comes from your home's boiler.
Installation is easy: many towel warmers come with their mounting kit – in the form of wall brackets. The connection is made from the bottom or the top.
"I don't know which hot water towel rail model to choose"
The choice of model depends first of all on the space you have available. If your bathroom sorely lacks space, it's pointless to opt for a tall and wide towel heater. Favor a compact installation instead, which will adequately warm up your room and your towels as it should.
As a guideline, we recommend a power of 100 Watts per m² and to increase the result obtained by 30%. Thus, if the area of your bathroom is 6m², a thermal fluid towel rail with a power of 780 watts is ideal. Of course, the choice of power also depends on what you require from this accessory: whether it's the sole radiator in your room or merely intended to dry your towels.
As for the color of the towel rail, it’s not a factor to overlook. White is the most popular color: it is generally inexpensive and matches perfectly with sanitary fixtures. For modern bathrooms, a chrome towel warmer is undoubtedly more fitting.
Then, there are other properties, more secondary, such as the shape of the collectors (flat or round) and their diameter, for example.
If you like to shop smart, then prefer a product with an integrated blower. Such a model allows towels to dry more quickly and is especially recommended for small spaces.
