colour & finish

• Painted in Chrome
  
• Finished in a shiny, mirror texture.
• Terma’s chrome finish is manufactured in Poland, rather than Turkey or the Far East, using a premium-quality, thick chrome plating process. As a result, chrome models are priced higher than their equivalent powder-coated coloured finishes, reflecting the superior quality and durability of the finish. Please note that this surcharge applies to all radiators and towel rails, with the exception of the LEO ladder rail range, as well as all chrome valves and accessories.

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

• This heated towel rail is not supplied with valves. 
• For this OUSE model you will need:
• A SLIM TRV head which fits onto the bottom end of the profile - we don't list these on our website at present hence this links to the terma website so you can see them - but we can place this order for you.
• A set of angled integrated lockshield valves will fit underneath - again we don't list these on our website at present hence this links to the terma website so you can see them - but we can place this order for you.
• 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.
