Towel Rail Element

What is a Towel Rail Element?

A towel rail element is used to convert central heating towel rails into electric-only models. By filling central heating towel radiators with water and inhibitor and attaching an element you can efficiently transform it into an electric towel rail radiator. Unlike dry heated towel rails where you would need to replace the entire radiator with an electric towel rail, you can simply change the element when necessary making it a more Ecological, flexible and cost-effective solution.

Thermostatic or Non-Thermostatic Elements?

Thermostatic towel rail elements offer advanced energy-saving features by automatically maintaining consistent temperatures and switching on/off as needed. You can adjust the temperature for personalized comfort, and our thermostatic elements include a 1-5 hour variable timer ideal for drying towels. Simply set it and forget it the element will turn off automatically after the selected period.

Our latest ER-Wifi model takes it further with smart IoT functionality, allowing you to control your heated towel rail from anywhere in the world using your smartphone or device, making it perfect for remote management and convenience.

Non-thermostatic towel rail elements function similarly to a light bulb they are either fully on or off providing constant heat without adjusting the temperature. These elements stay on all the time once turned on, making them less energy efficient compared to thermostatic models which can regulate the heat for comfort and savings.

Timers and Benefits for Electric Towel Radiators

Using a timer for electric towel rails ensures energy efficiency while keeping your towels warm. Our collection includes three types of timers: booster timer, digital timer and Wi-Fi-connected smart timer. Each timer offers flexible control over your heating schedule and helps reduce energy consumption by preventing unnecessary heating.

All of our towel rail timers come with a built-in fused spur for safe installation, fully compliant with UK building regulations. This ensures both safety and energy savings, making your electric towel rail a smart eco-friendly choice.

Dual Fuel Kits

Dual fuel kits are perfect for year-round use, allowing you to warm and dry towels even when the central heating is off. These kits also help reduce condensation in summer, extending the life of your radiator.
