The range of heated towel rails on sale is simply huge. These inherent attributes of a bathroom differ from each other not only in price, configuration and appearance, but also in how they work. The safety and durability of the equipment depends on whether the heated towel rail is correctly selected for a particular room. It is worth remembering that the device performs two functions at once - decorative and practical. A heated towel rail is an element of the interior, and also increases the comfort of using the bathroom, maintains dryness and the right temperature there.
Heated towel rails can be electric, water or combined. Water models are a pipeline. Their heating is carried out from hot water, which moves inside. Most often, such heated towel rails are connected to the DHW system, however, they can also work from the heat carrier from separate heating equipment. When choosing a water heated towel rail, special attention should be paid to both the possibility of water hammering and the quality of the water. Production materials must comply with the operating conditions.
Stainless steel is the most popular option. Products made from it can withstand pressure and temperature drops and are resistant to corrosion.
Non-ferrous metals are practically inferior in durability to stainless steel. Their thermal conductivity is also high. The plus is the ability to not be oxidized from hard water, low weight and long life. But at the same time, sudden changes in the coolant pressure can disable the device.
Such models do not require special connection conditions, but they still have certain disadvantages. The heated towel rails connected to the heating system work only during the heating season or during the draining of hot water. It is almost impossible to regulate their temperature.
Regardless of the hot water, electric models work. Their working temperature can be adjusted as you like. It is more comfortable to use such heated towel rails. But at the same time, when they connect, they impose certain requirements. The rules for the installation of electrical installations in rooms with high humidity will need to be observed. The maximum characteristics of the heated towel rail should not exceed the ability of the outlet that will be used for connection. In addition, it will be necessary to take care of the insulation and the residual current device, which, in the event of a leak to the current casing, will shut off the supply of electricity.
Combination heated towel rails are universal. The heat source for them can be selected depending on the conditions and season.
