FAQs
What is a towel radiator?
A towel radiator is a type of heating appliance designed to heat towels and provide warmth to a bathroom. It typically has a ladder-like design that allows towels to be hung over it.
How do towel radiators work?
Towel radiators can be either electric or water-based (hydronic). Electric towel radiators use electricity to heat the unit directly, while hydronic models are connected to a central heating system and use hot water to provide heat.
Are towel radiators energy-efficient?
Towel radiators can be energy-efficient, especially if used in conjunction with a central heating system. Electric models may use more energy if left on constantly, but many have timers and thermostats for better control.
Can I install a towel radiator myself?
Follow the installation instructions for the selected radiator. Arrange electrical work with a qualified electrician and plumbing work with a competent installer. Ask our team if you need help checking the connections before ordering.
Do towel radiators require maintenance?
Regular maintenance is minimal. For Central heating models, ensure there are no leaks and that the radiator is bled periodically to remove trapped air. Electric models may require less frequent checks.
Can I use a towel radiator in other rooms?
While towel radiators are commonly used in bathrooms, they can also be installed in kitchens or laundry rooms for added warmth and convenience.
What sizes are towel radiators available in?
Towel radiators come in various sizes to fit different spaces. It's important to measure the area where you plan to install the radiator to ensure a proper fit.
How much do towel radiators cost?

Are towel radiators safe?
When installed correctly, towel radiators are safe. Ensure they are placed away from water sources and follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines.
What warranty is included?
Towel radiators have a five-year warranty. Heating elements, radiator valves and accessories have a one-year warranty; terms apply. Ask our team if you need help with a warranty query.
Are valves included with my towel radiator?
Check the option selected on the product page. Valves are included only when you select a valve kit; a radiator ordered without valves does not include them.
