What are Electric Towel Radiators?
Electric towel radiators, also known as electric towel rails, are heating devices designed to warm up your bathroom while keeping your towels dry and toasty. Unlike traditional towel rails connected to a central heating system, these are powered by electricity, offering flexibility and easy installation. With sleek designs and a range of finishes, electric towel radiators not only serve a practical purpose but also add a touch of luxury to your bathroom space.
How Electric Towel Radiators Work
Electric towel radiators work by using an internal heating element that heats up the liquid inside the radiator or the dry thermal material, depending on the model. Once turned on, the unit begins to emit heat, warming both the surrounding air and your towels. Many models come with thermostats or timers, allowing you to control when and how much heat is produced. This means you can enjoy warm towels on demand while saving energy when the radiator is not needed.
