The fluid used in our towel rails is an exclusive high-thermal-transfer mineral oil. It provides stable comfort with fast heating times, and a lower surface temperature that extends the product’s lifespan due to more uniform heat distribution. This translates into more balanced energy dissipation and lower consumption.
Rointe oil-filled towel rails include up to 25% more fluid than other radiators on the market, making them the perfect choice for efficient heating.
The heating element is composed of armored steel, converting electrical energy into heat, which warms the fluid in the most efficient and uniform way. Then, the heated fluid can circulate easily and quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions: Rointe Towel Rails
What is the difference between an electric and a hydraulic towel dryer?
Electric towel dryer:
- They are electrically powered and filled with a specially formulated thermal fluid.
- The oil is heated by an electric element made of armored steel. This heat is transferred to the fluid, which circulates inside the towel rail, creating a convection cycle that distributes the heat evenly throughout the body of the towel rail.
- They are ideal for homes without central heating systems, as they operate independently and are easily connected to the power grid.
- They offer a quick response when heated and, thanks to the internal fluid, keep the heat for longer even after switching off.
Hydraulic towel rails:
- They work connected to the central heating system of the home, using the hot water generated by the boiler.
- The water circulates through internal pipes in the towel rail, transferring the heat to its surface to heat the air and towels through a process of radiation and convection.
- They are an efficient and sustainable option in homes with existing central heating systems.
- They do not require direct electrical power consumption to operate, as they depend on the home’s hot water circuit.
Main difference:
- Oil towel rails are free-standing and electrically operated, making them more versatile for any type of installation.
- Hydraulic towel rails depend on the central heating system, being ideal for homes that already have this type of infrastructure.
Both types offer advantages depending on your specific needs, your home’s heating system, and your lifestyle.
