FAQ's

What does the wattage of an electric towel rail indicate?

The wattage of an electric towel rail indicates how much power it uses to generate heat. A higher wattage means the rail can produce more heat to warm your towels & the bathroom much faster.

The diameter of the tubing also impacts the wattage, as wider tubing needs more wattage, which may increase the overall size of the towel rail. The wattages of the electric towel rails we stock at QS Supplies generally range from 40 to 300, with a 200-watt heated towel rail efficiently heating a medium-sized bathroom.
Are QS Supplies' electric towel rails energy-efficient?

All the towel rails we supply are manufactured by top-notch brands. Our electric towel rails are generally energy-efficient, with a built-in thermostat regulating temperature. Smaller rails consume less energy, making them cost-effective for heating towels & small bathrooms. On average, running an electric towel rail for a few hours a day results in a relatively low electricity bill, and using timers or thermostats can help manage energy use & keep running costs down.

Some customers looking for a high level of energy efficiency choose one of the dual-fuel towel rails available at QS Supplies. Dual-fuel models connect to the home electricity supply and the central heating system with the help of a T-Piece Connector. This allows you to use central heating to heat the towel rail at times of the year when you use the system to heat your home, & to switch to using electricity to heat the towel rail when you're not using the central heating system.
Are electric towel rails safe?

While water and electricity don't mix well, our high-quality electric towel rails are completely safe when installed correctly. There are no exposed electrical components, & the element is encased in the rail, so you do not come into direct contact with it. They are also designed to meet strict electrical safety standards & often include features like thermostats & automatic shut-off to prevent overheating.

We recommend installing your electric towel rail professionally for maximum safety and peace of mind.
Do electric towel rails suit all styles of bathrooms?

Yes, you can find electric towel rails in numerous styles, colours, & finishes at QS Supplies. We stock a wide range of options, so you're sure to find something whether your bathroom has a more classic look or a contemporary aesthetic. From traditional ladder styles to curved rails, there's an option to suit every style. The electric towel rails in our collection are wall-mounted, so they require no floor space.
Can an electric towel supplied by QS Supplies replace the need for a bathroom radiator?

Whether an electric towel rail can replace a radiator in your bathroom will depend on the size of the room and the BTU of the towel rail. The higher the BTU (British Thermal Unit), the more heat is emitted. If you install a heated towel rail with a high BTU, you can efficiently heat up a room without needing a radiator.

We recommend using our BTU calculator to determine the optimal BTU needed for your bathroom. You'll need to input various information, such as the height, width, & length of the room, the number of windows & their height & width, whether the walls are insulated or not, & whether there is another room above the bathroom. Once you have the answer, you can either choose an electric towel rail that offers roughly the same BTU, or you can choose one with a slightly higher BTU.
