heat output

• Firstly, if you haven't already done so - use our heat calculator to work out your specific requirements for your room to ensure you are looking at the right size heated towel rail - in terms of the BTUs heat output it gives.

design & material

• With its eye-catching sleek curves and high output, the Tesoro towel rail is a harmonius blend of style and practicality. The Tesoro is available in both central heating and electric.
• TESORO is designed with single-layered bars.
• The bars have a delicate curve at either end and the bats protrude forward from the uprights.
• TESORO is very stylish in its construction, with neat rectangular uprights that complement the flat rectangular shape of the bars.
• TESORO has a much larger surface area compared to many standard ladder-type rails — so the colour stands out far more as a feature in the bathroom.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on electric towel rails, giving even more information and tips.

optional wooden shelves

• Wooden veneer oak shelf are available for Tesoro, allowing you to turn the towel rail into a stylish and functional storage feature.
  
• Ideal for storing towels, toiletries, or decorative items in your bathroom, utility room, or kitchen.
• PLEASE NOTE: Shelves are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the TESORO towel rail - it is not supplied with any shelves as standard. Link to self can be found on the right hand side of the page.

control & functionality

• Supplied with the Terma MOA heating element.
• Full operational control via the 4 buttons: Temp +/-, Drying Function, Power
• 5 heat settings (30°C to 60°C) regulating the internal radiator temperature, denoted by 5 LEDs
• 2-hour drying function for quick and efficient towel drying
• Compatible with an external timer, retaining settings when switched off
• No built-in timer
• If you wish to control the maximum surface temperature of the towel rail (for example, to safeguard children), this element can be programmed to limit output:
  • The 30°C to 60°C internal range is divided across 5 LED settings in 7.5°C increments.
  • LED 1 = 30°C, LED 2 = 37.5°C, LED 3 = 45°C, LED 4 = 52.5°C, LED 5 = 60°C.
  • You can cap the maximum temperature (e.g. LED 2 = 37.5°C) so it cannot be increased beyond that level.
  • Instructions for this are included in the printed manual.
  • Alternatively, consider contacting us to special order this model with the 43D, which is pre-set to 43°C for a safe low surface temperature without reprogramming.
• Looking for a heating element that automatically turns off (ideal for hotels or homes where you're conscious about energy use)?
  • We offer two alternatives designed for timed operation - both of which you can contact us to special order this model with either of the elements inside instead:
  • TDY – runs for 1, 2, or 3 hours, then switches off automatically, with adjustable temperature settings.
  • DRY – runs for 1–5 hours, auto shut-off, and pre-set to 45°C.

colour & finish

• Painted in RAL 9005 Ultra Matt Black.
• Finished in a matt, smooth texture.
• This is a standard powder paint.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on paint finishes and colours giving even more information and tips.

installation & features

• The element can be fitted on the left or right hand side as you prefer (as it is not on a pre-determined side like with the E1 or E8 connection).
• The heating element is supplied separately and your electrician will simply turn the radiator upside down to insert the element on the chosen side.
• Think about where your electric supply will be so the wire has the shortest distance to travel.
• Quick and simple installation; no commissioning required.
• This MOA heating element is not supplied with a plug - so must be connected to a switched fused spur - or you can mount a plug. If you'd like a model pre-fitted with a plug, look at the Wi-Fi options as the VEO elements are pre-fitted with a UK plug.
