Mere Ellesmere ‘Dry ‘ Electric Towel Warmer

Electric towel warmers are the modern way to keep your towels warm dry and aired all year round and that particularly applies in the summer months when the heating may be turned off. The Mere Ellesmere ladder style ‘dry’ electric towel warmer is manufactured from 100% stainless steel and they operate with a dry element which ensures rapid heating as well as prolonging the life of the heating element.

The overriding reason for using stainless steel and dry element technology means the towel warmers are very efficient, consuming less power to maintain a constant temperature beneath towels. Designed and built to last a lifetime, this new range of heated towel rails is manufactured using stainless steel, an environmentally friendly material known for its durability and resistance to corrosion and these are offered in six sizes, including a curved version all with 10 year guarantees.

Fitting an electric towel drying radiator is a modern outlook for installers and householders as it does not depend upon the central heating system being in use, not at all uncommon in the warmer months.

Terrier Straight TRV & Lockshield Thermostatic Valve Pack

Thermostatic radiator valves are a good investment and are a great way to manage your room’s temperature. These work by sensing the temperature around them and regulate the flow of water through the radiator to which they are fitted. Because the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) controls the room temperature you can set each TRV to a temperature best suited to each room. This gives flexibility of having differing temperatures to separates parts of the home, saving energy and of course money.

The home can be more comfortable and friendly for friends and family, and by just turning down a thermostat by thermostat just one degree will save us as much as 10% on the average heating bill.  When the TRV is set to a lower setting, it will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature and much energy will be saved in the process. The Terrier TRV is just one example of many that are stocked at UK Bathrooms and will over time, save money over standard radiator valves.
