Chances are you have already heard what a Towel Radiator is. It's simple enough, it's a device that heats up towels before using them. A lot of people do know all about this type of appliance but they have never given it a second thought. Some think that they are unnecessary, and possibly even a waste of money. However, the more you know about something, the more you will appreciate it. To give you more information about towel radiators, and help you choose the right one for you, we have created a buyer's guide to choosing the correct towel radiator.
What Is It?
The first and foremost thing you need to know about towel radiators is, do you need one? Its primary function is heating and drying your bath towel so that when you use it it's dry and warm. Alternatively, these appliances can be installed in areas of your home that's usually damp and has a lot of moisture. It helps to get rid of mildew and keeps the surrounding air clean.
How Does It Work?
Towel radiators work in two different principles. The first one works by directly heating the pipes with the use of electricity. And the other works by fluid heat-transfer. You can choose either one as they are both very efficient. The Qbic Soho and Qbic Square towel radiators implement both principles by using an electric dual fuel element. Both towel radiators also work with your central heating systems.
Do You Need One?
This one could very easily be answered. If you get out of the shower in a cold day, the last thing you want would be a freezing cold damp towel. This is exactly the reason why towel radiators are invented, to provide you with a nice and warm towel to hug you after a shower. But as mentioned earlier, the applications don't end there. Towel radiators can also be installed in damp places to avoid mildew. On entryways, they could be installed where you usually hang your coats and hats, so that they're warm when you use them.
Which One Should You Choose?
After you have selected between electric and fluid heat-transfer ones. Or in the case of the Qbic Towel Radiators, you don't have to select at all. The next thing you should consider is the form factor. Realize where you would install it to suit your aesthetic and functional requirements. Some common types are freestanding, some are mounted to the wall, and others are fixed to the floor. In most cases, fluid heat-transfer type ones have to be installed on the floor to be able to connect them to the central heating system.
