Here at the heat is on, we put the knowledge of what you need directly in your hands as the homeowner, so you needn’t ask or wait for information from your plumber. Here we give you complete expert guidance for this specific heated towel rail — including details of any additional parts required — so you can ensure a smooth and successful installation when your tradesman arrives.

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

• BOOKIE uses modern laser cutting technology on square tubes, which, when bent at 90-degree angles, create a stylish geometric form.
• A double-panel heated towel rail with a unique spatial structure that balances form and function.
• The well-thought-out layout allows for easy hanging of towels, with extended bars on the left and right acting as natural towel railings.
• Bookie is a bold design statement—ideal for kitchens or bathrooms, but its linear profile makes it equally suitable for other rooms throughout the home.
• Made from low carbon mild steel.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on central heating towel rails, giving even more information and tips.

full range of sizes available

• In addition to the sizes we are displaying here on the heat is on - you can view the full range of 9 different sizes of BOOKIE here on the Terma website

advice on which valves to purchase for piped installation (central heating)

• This heated towel rail is not supplied with valves, as we have such a vast selection of styles & colours to choose from, we do not include them (like some other retailers) as we cannot make this choice on your behalf.
• However, we make choosing the correct valves very easy for you. With our years of experience, we know once homeowners have chosen their rail, the valve selection process can be a little daunting — and even the plumber won't make the best choice for you in terms of aesthetics. You need to do this yourself, as remember you are left looking at the installation once the plumber has gone - often we have spoken to homeowners who have been disappointed with how the poor valve choice or absence of pipes & covers have let down the look - don't let this be you.
• On the right-hand side of this page we have pre-filtered our vast selection of valves to show you only the optimal valves for this specific model — easy — you'll see two sections of valves:
  • 1. matching/complementary colour valve & pipe sets — these could be an exact match (as they are painted using the same paint as the radiators) or the closest complementary match (dependent on whether we list valves in the exact matching paint here on our site). Note: If you don't see an exact match but specifically want one, please contact us — we'll likely be able to special order these for you. These valves come complete with pipes and wall covers which will conceal the standard copper or plastic pipes of your central heating system for a much more professional looking finish.
  • 2. standard valve & pipe sets — these are more economical standard valves which are not painted using the same paints as the radiators, so will never match. We show the closest colour only. These are not sold as sets; if you'd like pipes/covers, these need to be purchased separately.
• which orientation of valves do I need : 3-Axis (corner), straight or angled?
  • 1. your central heating pipework comes through the wall — this is a special towel rail with 50mm central connections at the bottom - you'll need a set of TWINS valves to go with this in an angled orientation if your pipes come through the wall.
  • 2. your central heating pipework comes through the floor — this is a special towel rail with 50mm central connections at the bottom - you'll need a set of TWINS valves to go with this in a straight orientation if your pipes come through the floor.
  • Note: You could also use 3 axis corner valves on this (pipes through wall) and the TRV head and lockshield would face away from each other under the towel rail - view this model to see this setup for reference.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on radiator valves, giving even more information and tips.

what is dual fuel and advice on what accessories to purchase if installing as dual fuel

• Dual Fuel means this towel rail can run on two energy supplies — central heating in the winter, and electric in the summer when the central heating system is typically off, but you can still run this towel rail on its own... for fluffy warm towels after a shower or to quickly dry clothes on it.
  
• Note: This specific model is not available as electric - hence will not work as dual fuel. If you would like a dual fuel towel rail you'll need to look for an alternative model of towel rail.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on dual fuel towel rails, giving even more information and tips if you decide to go for a standard setup with a T-piece.
