Tired of your cold bathroom? Fed up of your towels taking ages to dry?
The Alpine is a dual fuel thermostatic electric towel rail. It is perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and drying rooms.Β It has a modern round-tube design with evenly-spaced bars. The Alpine is available in 3 different heights (800mm, 1200mm & 1700mm), and is suitable for small, medium or large bathrooms.
Designed with energy efficiency in mind, R3 dual fuel towel warmers are Eco Design / Lot 20 compliant. You can reduce energy consumption and running costs with its built-in timer, open window recognition. The Alpine chrome towel radiator is suitable to be used as the roomβs primary heat source.
This dual fuel towel rail connects to both central heating and electric, designed so that you can use it all year round. The accessories, including valves and electric element, are packaged separately from the towel rail to ensure a safe delivery.
Fitted with wider crossbars, the Alpine bathroom radiator has a greater surface area, which emit more heat to either warm the room or dry your towels.Β Itβs always important not to let style comprise practicality. Weβve designed the Alpine to facilitate larger towels by carefully spacing the cross rails.
Our Alpine towel offer outstanding value for money and quality. Youβll be hard pressed to find a better standard across the British market. The Alpine range has been rigorously tested through ASTMB117 β anti-corrosion / salt tested to 250 hours to ensure this towel rail is built to last β we back this by putting a 10-year guarantee onto the Alpine.
Dual Fuel towel rails can be heated from the central heating system or an electric element. Therefore you can still use the towel rail even when the central heating system is off. This is ideal if you want to dry towels in the summer.
The R3’s state of the art technology is cleverly integrated into the element to ensure tidy installation. All the elements functions are housed into a single unit. No additional connections are needed.
To use in electric mode, you simply tighten one of the dual fuel valves until it is closed and switch the element on.
The R3 has all features that you could ever need. 7-day time-control alongside the adjustable temperature control for the room or radiator. Meeting the LOT20 ECO Design energy efficiency regulations.Β Β All settings can be changed with the user-friendly remote control.

With the electric element turned off, your dual fuel towel rail becomes like any other radiator in the house. When the central heating is switched on, the towel rail warms up.
Our angled dual fuel radiator valves are a study and well made, composed of solid brass with chrome plating. The valves are screwed into the bottom of the towel rail’s vertical pipes. The electric element is then screwed into the bottom of one of the dual fuel valves. The opposing valve has a blank plug connected to the remaining socket. The central heating pipes connect at a 90 degree angle to the towel rail. So they can come straight out of the inside of the wall, or run horizontally along the wall to connect to the valves.
Alternative Dual Fuel Valve Option
If you need the central heating pipes to connect to the towel rail vertically, by coming up out of the floor, we can supply our alternative dual fuel valve kit on request.Β This consists of two straight radiator valves and two t-pieces. The t-pieces are inserted into the towel rail first, and the valves attach the their right angled socket, allowing the dual fuel towel rail to accept pipes from below.
