What Are Dry Electric Towel Radiators?

Introduction

When it comes to kitting out your house, there is an abundance of choices available for you to peruse over. This is especially true when it comes down to deciding what radiator to fit in your bathroom. For many, installing a radiator inside your bathroom used to be seen as an unconventional choice; however, the introduction of dry electric towel radiators into mainstream home construction has changed all of that.

What Are Dry Electric Towel Radiators?

Threaded throughout the bars of the towel radiator is a cord-heating element, which in turn heats the metal of the rail to a uniform standard throughout. In doing so, the dry electric towel radiator is an efficient and easy method to heat up your bathroom and surrounding communal areas. As the name indicates, these electric radiators are also ideal for warming up your towels, ensuring that they're warm for when you step out of the shower.

The Many Styles Of Dry Electric Towel Radiators

As the range of interior design styles within the modern home diversifies, so too does the range of dry electric towel radiators that are on offer. For instance, you can get radiators that have bars in simple lineation, or else curvy - whatever suits the style you're trying to achieve. Ladder rails are one of the most popular choices, liked for their ability to stack towels in a neat hanging manner. There are many other styles loved by homeowners, such as spiral, ring, wave, or loop. Each style of electric radiator offers its own stylistic and practical advantages.

Most, if not all, dry electric towel radiators come in a stainless steel finish too, meaning that they add a polished, sleek, and glamourous touch to any room. What's more, many dry electric radiators offered today are simple in design, making them the perfect addition to any room going for a minimalist approach.

Not only this, but you can get a varying number of bars on any dry electric radiator. For couples and people that are living alone, a simple 3-bar radiator may suffice; for larger families or people that are house-sharing, there are radiators that boast as many as 7, 8, or even 14+ bars for you to hang towels on. Plenty of room!

The Benefits Of Dry Electric Towel Radiators

There are many benefits to installing a dry electric towel radiator. Here are just a few of the main ones, in case you need help making up your mind:

New Dry Heating Technology

Because dry electric towel radiators are a relatively new concept, they're constructed using the latest technology available. This means that they're more reliable than older models that are more prone to breakdowns and faults, costing the homeowner less in the long run - so if you, like many, are amateurs at maintaining your radiators, you need not be intimidated by out-of-date technology that requires a 15-year-old part.

Many people are also becoming increasingly concerned with the carbon footprint of their home and the effect it's having on the environment; if this is you, then dry electric towel radiators are an excellent choice because they have an extremely low carbon print and require less energy to run.

Does Not Leak

Another large benefit of choosing to install a dry electric towel radiator in your home is that they don't leak. This is because, unlike traditional radiators, there is no water running throughout the pipes - only the simple cord-heating element mentioned above, and air. Dry electric radiators are an excellent choice for those homeowners that don't consider themselves to be particularly houseware-savvy, because there's little to no expert knowledge required.

Fast And Efficient Heat

Due to the lack of needing to wait for the water to heat up and fill the pipes, dry electric towel radiators heat up far faster than alternative models. This is especially critical during the winter months when you might need the room to heat up quickly and thoroughly. Alternatively, a spontaneous decision to have a shower before heading out or going to bed no longer has to result in getting out into a cold bathroom - the electric radiator has you covered.

Can Be Controlled Easily

Dry electric towel radiators are heated up using a simple low wattage, meaning you don't have to flood the pipes with water every time you want to heat up your property. This new method ensures that you can control the temperature of your radiators a lot easier, and in a far more precise manner. As such, there's little need for messing around with the internal system - which means less room for things to go wrong.

Frees Up Drying Space

Another popular reason for choosing dry electric towel radiators over any other type is that they free up a lot of space. Whereas previously you would opt to dry towels by spacing them out over bannisters or traditional radiators (which look cluttered and unnecessarily messy) you can instead hang all of your towels in one space. This allows them to hang up to dry, making them crease-free and ready for the next use.
