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

• SIMPLE DW is a heated towel rail / bathroom radiator in the form of a room divider, allows easy heat circulation in a room and naturally separates areas of different function.
  
• Reimagine your bathroom layout — these towel rails are designed to function as freestanding room dividers, ideal for homeowners undertaking a full bathroom redesign.
  
• Functional warmth accessible from both sides — positioned between the bath and sink, these rails provide easy towel access from either side while delivering efficient heating.
• By combining practical functionality with striking design, they transform the towel rail from a standard fixture into a central feature of your redesigned bathroom.
• Made from low carbon mild steel.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on electric towel rails, giving even more information and tips.

installation & features

• Element is pre fitted inside the radiator - located on the left hand side (E1 connection). Although with this model you can flip it to have the element on the right so this connection works both ways. Consider where your electric supply will be so the wire has the shortest distance to travel.
• This Wi-Fi VEO heating element is supplied with a UK 3-pin plug for easy connection to an existing socket (no electrician required).
• This version of VEO supplied with this model comes with the masking cover which conceals the wire up to the entry point into the wall. This is the large circular collar at the rear of the heating element (as seen in the images). You need to trowel out the wall to feed the wire through it - if you already have tiles in place for example, which you don't wish to cut, you can simply leave the masking cover off.

safety & compliance

• IPX5 rated – safe for use in bathrooms.
• Oil-filled for efficient, consistent heat distribution.
• Class 1 electrical appliance.
• UKCA approved.

guarantee, warranty and replacing the heating element

• 2-year manufacturer’s warranty (heating element).
• Usual lifespan of a heating element is 4 to 7 years dependent on use.
  • At end of life, you can simply replace the SS1 heating probe inside this model, as the external VEO controller is a separate unit — making replacement a cost-effective and straightforward process.
• 12-year manufacturer’s warranty (radiator).
