    Heated Towel Rails

    Good morning and hello. I wonder if anyone can assist. For many years our heated towel rails have been running when either the CH or HW is running, so when the CH is off the towel rail will get warm, and similarly when the HW is off the towel rail still gets warm. Now having had some work done...

    Towel Rails

    Is it normal to plumb Towel Rails into a pressurised water system, running the Towel Rails off this water supply, or do the Towel Rails have to be run in tandem with the Central Heating?

    New Towel Rad

    A friend of the Mrs just asked me if I can fit a new towel rad.. I said sure. They just had their bathroom refurbed and the rad is the last thing. Out of curiosity I asked her to send me pic of the pipework for the existing rad.. I just shook my head!!!

    Convert from electric towel radiator

    Hi, I've picked up a secondhand electric towel radiator, can these generally be converted to be used with a central heating system? It was probably made as an electric one but I can see how it might be possible to unscrew the heating element and also the cap on the other side to connect pipework.

    Hi all, One of my friends has a 3yr old house with normal rads in the bathrooms & cloakroom which she would like to replace with towel rads. It was built by Taylor Wimpey and the plasterboard walls are paper thin (9.5mm board I think or similar) so not the best. She has the normal 10mm...

    Would you suppor 1100 by 450 towel rail with 4 of these?

    I'm wondering if borderline case or not. I know it's common to see little rads hung with these with no problems and this towel rad weighs probably less but it's also going to have people stuffing and pulling towels on and off? http://tinyurl.com/zj45ouh

    Hi everyone, The guys who put in my new combi boiler and radiators have left a hot and cold pipe in the bathroom ready for me to plumb-in my new towel radiator.
