Aston - Stainless Steel Electric Towel Rail H1400mm x W500mm Straight 400w Thermostatic WIFI

A ladder towel rail with flexible electric control

Designed for independent electric use, this Stainless Steel straight ladder towel rail pairs a 400W element with a practical ladder layout. It provides dedicated bars for towels without requiring the home’s central heating to be running, while the polished finish helps it sit naturally within the bathroom.

Why choose this towel rail?

• Warm towels without running the whole central-heating system: Electric operation lets you use the rail independently when you only want heat here.
• Choose the control level that suits your routine: Wi-Fi/app control provides the most flexible programming, with modes including comfort, boost 2/4hr, standby w/antifreeze, open window, 24hr timer/weekly programme (wifi/app required).
• Choose with realistic warm-up expectations: Electric towel rails heat differently from rails continuously supplied with hot water from a boiler, so they are not automatically faster or slower.
• No radiator valves to buy: This model operates electrically rather than connecting to a wet central-heating circuit, so radiator valves are not required.
• Avoid surprises with the electrical installation: This is not a standard plug-in towel rail. It is designed for the specified 220v-240v fused spur, 5 amp fuse* supply, so electrical installation should follow that requirement.
• No oil filling required before use: The towel rail is not supplied pre-filled with oil. It comes with the listed electric element/conversion kit and installation components, so you are not expected to source or add heating oil yourself.
• Avoid unexpected extra purchases: The supplied-items data lists Electric Element Kit, Wall Brackets, Masonry Fixings, Bleed Valve & Blanking Plug, helping you see which core components are included rather than assuming everything must be bought separately.
• Choose with confidence for bathroom use: This model carries an IP44 rating, providing a product-specific indication of protection against moisture/water ingress. Bathroom electrical installation and positioning should still follow the applicable electrical requirements and be completed appropriately.
• Choose the towel clearance that suits your space: The straight ladder layout keeps the bars in a flatter, neater profile, making it a good choice when you want a more streamlined look and less visual depth from the wall.
• Dedicated space for positioning towels: The 22-tube ladder construction provides clearly defined horizontal rails, making it easy to see where towels can be placed while leaving some rail surface exposed for heat to circulate.
• Make the finish part of the bathroom: The polished Stainless Steel finish gives the rail a considered finish that contributes to the room as well as serving a practical purpose.
• Reduce the risk of defects reaching your home: The 9-step quality assessment process checks the product through a structured series of quality controls before it is dispatched, giving added reassurance around consistent quality and durability.
• Choose a finish tested for long-term durability: 200 hours of salt spray testing assesses resistance to corrosion and rust, helping provide reassurance against flaking, peeling and deterioration of the finish over time.
• Long-term reassurance: The 25 years (towel rail), 2 years (element) guarantee arrangement gives separate reassurance for the towel rail and its electric element.
