Element Types

Standard (on/off): Fixed temperature. Simple switch or fused spur. Fine for occasional use.

Thermostatic: Adjustable temperature, 24-hour timer, remote control. Set it to warm towels for your morning shower, switch off automatically.

All elements are IP-rated for bathroom safety. IPX4 splashproof as standard, IPX6 for installations near showers (Zone 1). Fused spur timers go outside zones.

Running Costs

A 150W rail costs about 3.7p per hour at 24.67p/kWh. On a 4-hour daily timer, under £4.50 a month. Use our running cost calculator for exact figures.

Installation

Brackets and fixings included. Wall mounting is straightforward. Plug into an existing socket — no electrician needed. For hardwired fused spur in a bathroom, Part P requires a qualified electrician. Budget 30 minutes for a pro install.

Questions We Get Asked

Do they heat the bathroom or just towels? Both, but mainly towels. A 150W element gives about 500 BTU — enough to take the edge off a small bathroom. Not a radiator replacement. Pair with an electric radiator if you need proper heat.

How much does it cost to run? About 15p a day on a 4-hour timer, under £4.50 a month. Check our calculator for your exact setup.

DIY or electrician? Wall mounting is DIY. Plug-in connection is DIY. Hardwired fused spur in a bathroom — get an electrician. Part P regulations apply.

What IP rating do I need? IPX4 minimum for bathroom zones. IPX6 if it's going near the shower or bath. Never install any electric rail inside the bath or shower tray (Zone 0).

How do I clean chrome? Dry microfiber cloth. For marks, warm water with a tiny drop of mild detergent. No bleach, no bathroom sprays, no abrasive cleaners. Wipe dry after.
