About Towel Rails Heaters

An electric towel rail warms and dries towels without running the central heating, so a towel can be warm in July without heating the whole house. At 50W to 85W these are towel warmers rather than room heaters: they dry what hangs on them, and a bathroom that needs heat needs a panel or downflow heater alongside.

The deXpro range comes in stainless steel and matt black, IP44 rated for bathroom Zone 2, in straight and S shaped designs. A rail wires to a fused spur rather than a socket, and we stock switched and Wi-Fi fused spurs alongside them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Very little. At around 27p per kWh, an 85W rail running four hours a day costs about 9p, or roughly £2.75 a month. Even left on continuously it is about 55p a day.
For most bathrooms, yes. The case rests on warming and drying towels without running the central heating, which is what stops the damp smell. If the bathroom already runs off a plumbed radiator that is on anyway, the saving is smaller.
There is no single best model, because the right choice is set by wall width and towel count. Match the wattage using the sizing guidance below, then pick the finish to suit the taps and shower fittings already in the room.
The three most common are expecting a towel warmer to heat the room, fitting one in the wrong bathroom zone for its IP rating, and running it continuously when a switched spur or schedule would do. All three are avoidable at the point of choosing.
Size by wall space and the number of towels, not by room area. The range runs 50W to 85W: the lower end suits a cloakroom or en suite with one or two towels, the upper end a family bathroom with several. Measure the available wall width first, since the bar count and height follow from it.
No, and it is worth being straight about that. At 50W to 85W these are towel warmers. A bathroom that needs heating needs a downflow fan heater or a panel heater alongside.
Stainless steel resists corrosion in humid rooms and suits contemporary and traditional bathrooms alike. Matt black has become the standard pairing for black taps and shower fittings. Both are supplied with wall brackets and fixings.
A towel rail is wired to a fused spur rather than plugged into a socket, because bathroom sockets are not permitted in most zones. We stock switched fused spurs alongside the rails, including Wi-Fi controlled versions that let you switch the rail from a phone or set a schedule without adding a timer to the rail itself.
No. That is the main advantage over a central heating towel rail. An electric rail is filled and sealed at the factory and needs only an electrical connection, so it can go on any suitable wall regardless of where the pipework runs.
The deXpro range is IP44, which covers Zone 2 and outside, where most towel rails are installed. Zone 1, meaning directly above or beside the bath or shower, requires a higher rating. Installation is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so confirm the zone with a qualified electrician before ordering.
Yes. Wall brackets and fixings are supplied with every rail.
