Its fixed heating element holds the outside of the rail at a controlled 43°C, so towels stay warm and the room feels comfortable without the burn risk of a conventional towel radiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a \u003cstrong\u003estraight or curved\u003c\/strong\u003e multirail design in a \u003cstrong\u003echrome or white\u003c\/strong\u003e finish, in heights from 800mm to 1600mm and widths from 300mm to 600mm. Because it is a sealed electric towel warmer, it works independently of the central heating, so the bathroom can be kept warm all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy low surface temperature matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard radiator can get hot enough to burn skin on prolonged contact; a low surface temperature model keeps touchable surfaces safe for everyone, including young children. NHS safe surface temperature guidance for healthcare and care settings says that surfaces people can touch should not go above 43°C. AKW designs its LST (Low Surface Temperature) towel warmers to keep the outer surface no hotter than 43°C, in line with that guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features \u0026amp; benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow surface temperature – fixed heat element gives a controlled surface temperature of 43°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects residents and family members from dangerously hot surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlycol filled for even heat across every rail and a constant safe temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultirail design with 25mm horizontal tubes and flat tops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight or curved styles in chrome or white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric only – no pipework, so no leaks, no bursts and no system draining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick to install with minimal wiring, keeping installation costs down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be connected to a timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo maintenance costs and no certificate costs for landlords\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour wall brackets supplied with every towel warmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 year guarantee on the towel warmer and 2 year guarantee on the heating element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose the right towel warmer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e the straight version sits closer to the wall and suits most bathrooms.
