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.
StyleThe straight ladder towel rail has been a firm favourite for many years in the bathroom radiator world. The ladder name signifies the run of horizontal tubes connected by two vertical tubes (these are called collectors). “Straight” – sometimes known as flat, simply means that the horizontals bars run straight across between collectors and when looking at the towel rail from the side, it is completely flat. So, they are great for compact bathrooms where every millimeter counts.
ColourAnthracite is a high-end variety of coal noted for the purity of its carbon and the dark grey smoke it emits when burning. It’s also one of our customers’ most popular picks for a modern-looking towel rail that looks as good as it functions. The smoky matt finish you achieve with this colour is quite unlike any other and produces a stylish effect with even the most minimalist design. As we become more conscious of our surroundings, tastes shift from the functional and the merely decorative to something combining qualities of both, and anthracite towel rails certainly tick all of the boxes.
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.

Good quality product and easy to install .Quick and easy to order, received in 2 days. Excellent service.
Only fitted yesterday and found an immediate increase in heat output compared to the chrome rail that was replaced of same physical size and with the addition of the electric heater makes it much more flexible as we don’t put the heating on in the evenings as we have a log burner so we can just heat the bathroom and dry the towels.
Looks really nice and getting very hot
Looks great and is a excellent replacement for the radiator in the bathroom
Lovely looking radiator. Managed to find a direct replacement from my old one so I didn't have to alter the pipe work.
I've had it a few months to give it a fair review. I can't fault it, it's black and it hasn't peeled or flaked, it still looks great. I recommend it.
Very good product and service.
Replaced a small radiator in my bathroom with this attractive towel rail. Used the BTU calculator to ensure I had the right size. Easy to install and working very well. My bathroom is now much warmer and my towels are snug and ready as I get out of the shower. Would recommend this company and product.
Can’t fault the towel rail works a treat. If I had to buy it again I would’ve bought one with a thermostatic valve on it. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the packaging was delivered wet at one end and smelling very musty, which is left my garage smelling awful. I did report it as damaged on arrival.
The service, communication and delivery of the towel rail were exemplary. Unfortunately I can’t comment on its effectiveness as I cannot get a plumber to fit the thing for love nor money!!! They all seem disinterested and most don’t even reply to left messages so… I suppose the bottom line is don’t buy unless you have a plumber - on tap!🤪
Lovely quality radiator looks exactly like the picture.
Nice radiator- was worried about how good a price it was since it included p&p but it was a good heavy radiator and seemed well made - easy to fit as it was a direct replacement
Love it arrived within 36 hrs of ordering. Great service great product.
Nice stylish towel radiator that is nice and wide, and not too tall.
Great quality and looks good...
