FAQ's

What does the wattage of an electric towel rail indicate?

The wattage indicates how much power it uses to generate heat. A higher wattage means the rail can produce more heat to warm your towels and the bathroom.

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 products we stock at QS Supplies generally range from 40 to 300 watts. A 200-watt heated towel rail efficiently heats a medium-sized bathroom.
Are QS Supplies' electric towel warmers energy-efficient?

All the towel rails we supply are manufactured by top-notch brands. They are generally energy-efficient, with a built-in thermostat regulating temperature. Compact ones use less energy and are economical and perfect for smaller bathrooms. Running an electric model for a few hours a day results in a relatively low electricity bill. Timers or thermostats can manage energy usage and may lower running costs.

For customers looking for highly energy-efficient models, we recommend choosing one of the dual-fuel towel rails. Dual-fuel models connect to the home electricity supply and the central heating system with the help of a T-Piece Connector. It uses both central heating or electical system to heat the towel warmer.
Are electric towel warmers 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, and 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. Some of our models include thermostats and automatic shut-off to prevent overheating.

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

Yes, you can find our electric models in numerous styles, colours and finishes. 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 warmers in our collection are wall-mounted, so they require no floor space.
Can an electric towel warmer supplied by QS Supplies replace the need for a radiator?

Whether an electrical unit 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 towel rail with a high BTU, you can efficiently heat 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 and length of the room. The number of windows, their heights and widths and whether the walls are insulated or not. Whether there is another room above the bathroom. Once you have the answer, you can choose one that offers roughly the same BTU or one with a slightly higher BTU.
