We tell how to choose a water heated towel rail, based on their material, the installation method, such as connecting and appearance.
After water procedures, the air in the bathroom is saturated with moisture, towels and bath accessories are wet. You can cope at once with these two problems if special equipment is installed in the bathroom. We will understand which water heated towel rail to choose, get acquainted with the rating of the instruments.

Features of equipment
The devices are manufactured as a curved pipe. Their main difference in the method of heating. Water warms up inward hot heat carrier. Most often it is water from the heating system or hot water supply. Both options are used. The second is selected more often, since the equipment remains operational after the battery is turned off.

This seasonality in the work is the main minus of water devices. An alternative is considered a combined device that works with heat carrier and electricity. It is desirable that the heated towel rail is supplied by a crane of Maevsky. It normalizes the circulation of fluid and frees the pipe from air traffic jams.
Criterias of choice
The main characteristic of the equipment is the working pressure. If in private houses the pressure in the system does not exceed 2-3 bar, then in the apartment it comes to 7.5 bar. Therefore, they find out the indicators for their home, they add some "stock" to them. So the design is guaranteed to withstand the hydroedar, they regularly happen in the centralized heating system. In addition, it takes another three points.
1. Case material
For the manufacture of water type structures, three types of metals are used.
- Black Steel
- Stainless steel
- Non-ferrous metals
In the course of additional finishes, the product can be painted, chromed or polished.
The base of black steel - alloy of iron and carbon. Different additives are introduced into it, several modifying material properties. In any case, it is durable, has high heat transfer, but at the same time being corrosion. Therefore, the protective layer is superimposed on the inner surface of the pipes. Steel products cost less analogues. The term of their operation is small. Especially if the equipment is connected in the apartment. This is due to the low quality of the coolant in the centralized system.

Instruments from stainless steel are durable and durable. They are well withstanding pressure jumps, resistant to corrosion. Equally long work in autonomous and centralized networks. Since not sensitive to the quality of the transported fluid. Chrome models longer than others retain an attractive look. The price of stainless steel dryers is higher than that of steel.

Alloys of non-ferrous metals are also used for the manufacture of dryers. Most often it is brass, but there may be another option. The meaningful advantage of such models is the maximum corrosion resistance. They do not rust under no circumstances, but their strength is low. Pressure above 6 bar They do not stand. Therefore, they are put in standalone schemes. The high-rise building is a risk of gusting at the hydraulic man.
2. Installation method
During the installation, the device connects to a heating rink or hot water supply. It can be fixed in different ways: to the wall or to the floor.Wall-mounted models
A good choice for small areas. Occupy a minimum of space, installed on special fasteners that are mounted on the wall. The surface for installation should be smooth. If this is not the case, they buy varieties intended for mounting on a plane with level drops.

Outdoor devices
Mounted on the floor in any suitable place for this, regardless of the strength and quality of the wall on the installation site. The main fasteners are put on the floor. Sometimes the design is additionally attached to the wall, but does not give a large load on it. Minus floor systems - bulkiness. They occupy a lot of space, so do not install them in small bathrooms.
3. Connection type
The connection to the mains is carried out in different ways. There are three possible types of connectivity.
- Lower. Apply for drywear "ladder" for overall devices. The main condition is the presence of sufficient pressure, otherwise the liquid will not be able to climb the dryer. Be sure to have a crane of Maevsky to normalize the movement of the coolant.
- Side. It is often used for vertically oriented structures: with a recessed pipe, snakes, "ladder". Universal solution, if necessary, can be used for systems of any type.
- Diagonal. Provides the most efficient circulation of fluid, which is necessary for large varieties of equipment. Requires additional pipelines.
Before purchase, the connections of the model are specified. In domestic and foreign manufacturers, they differ significantly. So, Russian is 1 or 1.4 inches, and the European 1.5 or 1.4 inches. If the diameters do not coincide, you will have to additionally buy adapters.

4. Appearance
The appearance of the dryers is diverse. From the unassicious "serpents" and "forest" to complex products that are called designer. Sometimes the devices are equipped with additional shelves for linen and towels, hooks, bath accessories storage cells. Design Miscellaneous: Chrome, painting in any color, imitation of expensive metals, etc. Therefore, choose the dryer for your bathroom is very simple.
Rating producers of water heated towel rails
To simplify the choice, it is worth listening to the opinion of those who already use such drying. It is known that heading for the store most potential buyers knows exactly what kind of company they buy products. Doubts appear in choosing a model, but not the manufacturer. Here is a small list of brands that are considered the best manufacturers of water heated towel rails.Zehnder.
Swiss company, produces design radiators and dryers. For production, only environmentally friendly components and raw materials are purchased. More than 25 limies are produced, more than 200 variations.

Terminus.
The Russian brand, produces basically standard models adapted to domestic operating conditions. TERMINUS products have reinforced walls with a thickness above 1.8 mm. Therefore, it is operated at a pressure of up to 8 bar.

"Sunzherzh"
Another Russian manufacturer, produces design radiators and dryers. One of the first in Russia began the production of stainless steel products. For production, high-quality pipes manufactured by foreign companies are used.

"Dvin"
The Russian brand produces products mainly of stainless steel. Additionally, a coating of brass, enamel, nickel, chromium is applied. The equipment is characterized by a variety of design, high quality.
Water heated towel rail Dvin.
Choosing between the domestic and foreign manufacturer, it is necessary to know that Russian equipment is most often focused on connecting to hot water supply, and the European is connected to heating. At the same time, the quality of the circulating fluid in the system is not taken into account. There is no protective film that protects the metal from corrosion, the walls of the pipes are thin. This significantly reduces their operation time. Therefore, many prefer the products of Russian companies.Which water heated towel rail is better to choose in the apartment for customer reviews
We studied reviews for Yandex. Market and collected 3 running models of towel rails.
- TERMINUS ASTRA NEW DESIGN. Made from high-quality polished stainless steel, works with a pressure of up to 8 bar. Therefore, you can install a high-rise building in the apartment. The manufacturer produces this model in different sizes, height from 0.53 to 1.18 m. The disadvantage - tubes are welded with each other.
- Sunerger High-Tech G. The original form of the device allows you to install it both vertically and horizontally. The efficiency of work is provided by a special system of distribution of water flows. Operating range of pressure from 3 to 23 bar. Fully equipped with the necessary accessories: fittings, holders, etc. Disadvantage - Welded seams.
- Terminus Lazio. Lower connection dryer, made of food supplements with additives. It is especially resistant to corrosion. The Lestenka model is made using contact-relief technology. Permitted pressure up to 8.5 bar, fully equipped with everything necessary for installation. The disadvantage is the high price.
We figured out which water heated towel rail to choose in the bathroom. The main aspects of the choice: strength, corrosion resistance, durability, type and connection method. Only by defining these parameters, consider the form and color of the device. The range of equipment is very wide, you can always find drying of the desired style, coloring and size.
