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 electrician. Here we give you complete expert guidance for this specific electric 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 electric radiator - in terms of the Watts / Kilowatts heat output it gives.
design & material
- PERLA features s very stunning snake like design.
- Terma has invested in pipe bending technology which allows it to produce heated towel rails such as the Swale.
- 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.
control & functionality
- This is a dry electric model which is fitted with a heating wire (as opposed to oil filled with a heating element - like most other Terma electric models). This is due to the shape fo the towel rail where a straight element cannot be inserted into this.
- Element has an on/off switch and will operate at one fixed temperature to give the output listed.
- This model is fine for drying towel rails but should not be relied upon as a towel rail for heating a whole larger bathroom due to its lower output.
- No Timer. Compatible with external Timer.
colour & finish
- Painted in RAL 9016 White. You have a choice of:
- SILK - A smooth, slightly shiny finish which is 75% gloss.
- MATT - A smooth, on trend, matt finish which is 25% gloss.
- SUPER MATT SOFT - Soft means the paint is only 10% gloss and the matt properties are added twice over to create the most matt finish achievable (with White RAL 9016 this is the same price, as with some other colours this finish carries an approx. 20% surcharge).
- 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.
