Main Features:
Steel offers the lowest price tag compared to other materials, but it also offers the most diversity in terms of colour and style. Steel is a highly durable material which is important as towel rails are going to be the victims of some knocks and bangs over time and you want them to withstand that.
StyleA popular pick for those looking to add a touch of design to their bathroom, the flat tube style offers a slimline feel that will work with pretty much any décor. The Tristan has horizontal flat tubes, grouped in threes, which are connected to two vertical round tubes (these are called collectors) on one side of the towel radiator. It is completely reversible, meaning you can have the collector tubes (the vertical ones) on the left or right hand side. This open-ended design makes guiding towels on and off super easy. The powder painting gives the metal a perfectly even finish and It’s easy to maintain and clean – get those towels nice a toasty for when you step out the shower!
Colour
Black, the colour that always fits and never fades. This matt black powder painted towel rail is exactly what your home needs. Black radiators go well with anything. As a colour, there are few shades or hues that it does not complement. Whether providing effective shadow tones to an already dark background, or a striking contrast to more brightly coloured walls, black towel rails rarely look out of place. As well as suiting a great variety of home styles, black is a very forgiving shade. It won't show dust, dirt, or rust like white so you know they will look great well into the future.
Heat SourceThis dual fuel towel radiator works both as part of your central heating and independently using electricity. This enables you to keep your bathroom warm over the winter by relying just on the central heating system while also being able to use the electric element to dry your towels during the warmer summer months while the rest of your heating is turned off.
AccessoriesThis towel rail is provided with everything required to hang the rail on the wall - brackets & masonry fixings, chrome bleed valve and blanking plug, as well as all the accessories needed for the dual fuel functionality - electric element, 2 x t-pieces, a pair of angled manual valves. The t-piece acts as an extension which allows you to insert the electric element into the towel rail as well as attach the valves. The use of 2nd t-piece provided is optional, for those who want to create symmetry with the valves on both sides of the rail. The element can be installed on either the left or right hand side of the towel rail - whichever is better for your set up.
The Talus digital element gives you flexibility and control over your heating system. The thermostatic heating system allows the radiator temperature range to be selected from 40-65 degrees, in 5 degree increments. The LED lights indicate the temperature setting, for at-a-glance checking.
Operation:When set to Comfort mode, the thermostat keeps the internal temperature of the radiator or towel rail at the value set by you (using the + and – buttons). Boost mode can be used to increase the element to the maximum temperature for a period of 2 hours (not exceeding 65°C), at the end of the Boost the element returns to Comfort mode.
There are also 2 different Timer modes: 12 hour and 24 hour. When set to these modes, the element will use Boost for 2 hours, then return to Comfort mode for either 10 or 22 hours – depending on your selection – after this time, the element will use Boost again. This sequence is repeated endlessly. The final operation mode is Standby/Antifreeze. In this mode the element will not operate (meaning it won’t provide any heat to the radiator or towel rail) unless the temperature drops below 10°C, where it will use the antifreeze mode to activate the element in order to prevent any internal liquid from freezing.
When discussing heat outputs, the Delta rating is the difference between the temperature of the water inside the heating system and the desired temperature of the room.
In simple terms, this value is about heat loss. Heating a room only works, if the radiator output exceeds the heat loss of the room.
We use this calculation to make it easy to choose a radiator that will have a heat output that exceeds the heat loss of the room when connected to your heating system type.
If you don't know the room heat loss, you can use our calculator to find out.
Watts are our main unit of energy/power in the UK, commonly associated with lightbulbs and Home Energy performance certificates (EPCs).
BTUs are the unit of measurement used to portray a radiators heat output and a rooms heating requirement. 1 Watt is equal to 3.41 BTUs.
We buy radiators to heat our homes, right? So, we need a way of knowing if a radiator is powerful enough to heat the room that we are shopping for - Watts and BTUs provide us with a value that makes its easier to compare radiators and ultimately choose the right one for our heating requirement.
