What It Costs to Run
A rough guide for the Single Heat element at full power. A thermostatic or timer element costs less, because it only draws power until it reaches temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Does this towel rail run independently of central heating?
A. Yes. It's a sealed, pre-filled electric rail that heats from the mains with no connection to your boiler or pipework — ideal for rooms without existing heating pipes.
Q.
Will it heat the whole room?
A. Yes, it does. Towel rails are built primarily for warm dry towels but they also give off steady background heat. They're slimmer than panel radiators so the output per surface area is lower — and covered with towels, even less. Use the calculator above to check it against your room size.
Q.
Is the heating element already fitted?
A. No. Your chosen element ships separately in the box. A qualified electrician fits it into the bottom inlet and makes the connection — a regulatory requirement for bathroom electrics.
Q.
Can I add or change the timer later?
A. Yes. The timer is independent of the element and works with any of the three element types, so you can add or upgrade it whenever you like.
Q.
What does the glycol pre-fill do?
A. It's an anti-freeze, anti-corrosion fluid that also reduces noise and limescale, helping the rail run quietly and last longer.
Q.
Is the anthracite finish suitable for any bathroom?
A. Yes — the anthracite powder coat finish is neutral and hard-wearing, and carries a 5-year guarantee.
