Description

General description

These chrome plated flat electric towel rails feature an energy-efficient PTC electric heating element, combining cost-effective operation with excellent handcrafted build quality. They are filled with a glycol solution to prevent freezing and corrosion, while also reducing noise compared to traditional towel warmers filled only with water. The high specification IP64 rated CE approved PTC electrical element maintains a safe and stable temperature of 70°C, which can be adjusted with a dimmer switch, eliminating the need for a thermostatic control unit. The towel rail operates at full power until it reaches the desired temperature, then reduces power to maintain it, making it more economical than standard electric elements. A bidex timer is included for scheduling operation, allowing you to save energy by heating rooms only when needed. Installation must be done outside of the bathroom by a qualified electrician, connecting it via a switched 5amp fuse box. A small air gap within the rail accommodates liquid expansion when heated. The towel rail is constructed from mild steel with multiple layers of plating for superior corrosion and rust resistance, resulting in a flawless luxury finish.

The radiator itself is attractive and easy to install, the timer provided is the most complicated piece of equipment ever, almost impossible to schedule and saving the time is impossible.
