Adax-Solaire stocks electric heated towel rails across several control configurations, from simple on/off models to WiFi-enabled rails with Solaire app scheduling. Options include purely electric models, dual-fuel rails that work alongside a central heating system and an independent electric element, and central-heating-only versions. Rails are available in chrome and other finishes to suit bathrooms of varying sizes. Free next working day delivery applies to mainland UK and Isle of Man orders.
Everything you need to know
An electric heated towel rail runs from a mains-wired or plug-in electric element and operates independently of your central heating system. A dual-fuel rail includes both a central heating connection and an electric element, so you can heat it during summer or when the boiler is off without running the whole heating system.
A purely electric towel rail does not need a plumber, but it does require a qualified electrician to connect it safely to a fused spur. Dual-fuel models require both an electrician for the element and a plumber or heating engineer to connect the rail to the central heating circuit in accordance with current regulations.
Smaller heated towel rails are primarily designed to warm towels and provide background warmth rather than act as the sole heat source in a bathroom. For a bathroom needing primary heating, pair the towel rail with a dedicated bathroom panel heater. As a guide, allow 80W per square metre when sizing supplementary heating.
The majority of towel rails on adax-solaire.co.uk are available in chrome. Some models are also offered in white or anthracite finishes. Finish availability varies by range, so check individual product pages or call 01325 717 899 for current stock and lead times on specific finishes.
Electric heated towel rails with a built-in thermostat or programmer are designed for safe, unattended operation and will cycle on and off to maintain a set temperature. Models with no timer should not be left on indefinitely without supervision. Fitting a seven-day digital programmer or upgrading to a WiFi model gives greater control and peace of mind.
