Types Of Heated Towel Rails Explained !!

We supply a complete range of heated towel rails and radiators. You can choose plumbed, heated towel rails in many different formats.

Heated Towel Rails (Water Only)

Water only towel rails are to be plumbed in to your central heating system and will work only when your central heating is running.

Heated Towel Rails (Water&Electric)

Water and electric towel rails are plumbed in to your heating system and also connected to
an electric supply. This allows the option to run them either through your central heating
system (i.e. winter) or by using the electric element (i.e. summer, when heating not required).

Heated Towel Rails (Electric Only)

Electric only towel rails run purely off a built in immersion type element which heats your water without the requirement of needing to link into a central heating system.

How much heat does my room require?

Every room varies on the amount of heating required to reach the desired temperature. Calculating that requirement is essential to make sure that the radiators you choose have a big enough heat output to keep you comfortable. We reccomend you choose radiators with a slightly higher output than required therefore you can always use a thermostatic radiator valve to reach your desired temperature.

How is my heat output measured?

There are two recognised measurements of heat output the first being BTU (British Thermal Unit) and the second being watts.

How can I find the heat output which I require?

Your installer should be able to confirm the required values for each room or use the following:

Step 1. Find the volume of the room in cubic feet which is height x width x length.
To convert from cubic meters into cubic feet multiply the total figure by 35.31.

Step 2 . Multiply the volume by 6 to find the btu requirement if you require this in watts then simply divide the btu figure by 3.412.

Do different designs affect the output of the radiator?

The greater the surface area of the radiator the greater the heating output will be.
By altering the size and shape or number of columns of the radiator you can adjust the output acheived (Column Radiators).

Does it matter if I choose a horizontal or vertical designer radiator:

No this does not matter the benefit is that by altering the size and shape you can then cater for a smaller or larger area, obviously outputs may vary.

What are the differences of radiator columns?

There are 3 main styles of standard radiators:

1. Single convector radiator this is purely a panel and a convector on the reverse of the radiator.

2. Double panel single convector this is 2 radiator panels with only one convector in the middle this generally has a greater output than a single panel radiator.

3 Double panel double convector radiator this is 2 panels and 2 convectors this radiator generally is the highest form of output from a radiator.
