      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

      Both types of towel rails, oil-fired and hydraulic, use heat transfer to heat a space and your towels, but they differ in how they generate and distribute heat. Here are the key differences:


      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.

      We recommend that you consider a few issues before buying an electric radiator:

      • What size do I need?
      • What is its energy efficiency?
      • What heating technology do I need?
      • What energy-saving features does the towel rail include?
      • What are the scheduling options?
      • Is it 24/7, from a dashboard, from my smartphone via an app, etc.?
      • Are they easy to install?
      • Or would you need an electrician or installer?
      • Do they need any kind of maintenance?
      • Is the design right for my style and my house?

      Installing a Rointe electric towel dryer is super easy. We provide brackets, fixings and a template with each radiator, so all you need are a few tools for installation.

      Installing a Rointe towel rail, whether oil or hydraulic, is a simple and quick process. We provide all brackets, fixings, and a template with each product for easy installation. You’ll only need a few basic tools:

      • Phillips screwdriver
      • Electric Drill
      • Rubber hammer or mallet
      • Pencil
      • Spirit level

      Steps to install your towel rail:

      1. Choose the right location:

        • Be sure to avoid drafty areas near doors or windows.
        • Leave enough space so that the towel rail is not blocked by furniture.
        • The towel rail should be positioned high enough to allow convenient access to the control panel.

      2. Prepare the holes:

        • Place the supplied template on the wall, making sure that the bottom is aligned with the floor.
        • Mark the holes with a pencil.

      3. Drill and fix the brackets:

        • Drill the previously marked holes.

        • Insert the supplied plugs.

        • Fix the brackets using the included screws.

        • Screw the front part of the brackets, making sure that they are firm, but without exerting too much pressure that could deform them. The two parties do not have to touch each other.

      4. Towel dryer installation:

        • If it is an electric model:
          Unwind the cable, then place the towel dryer on the brackets. Lift it slightly and slide it down to secure it.
          Plug the cord into the electrical outlet and turn on the product.

        • If it is a hydraulic model:
          Connect the hot water pipes of the central heating system to the towel rail connections. Make sure the valves are properly installed and tighten all the joints.

      5. Final Review:

        • Check that the towel rail is securely attached to the wall and that there are no leaks in the connections (for hydraulic models).

      The installation of a towel rail, whether oil or hydraulic, is flexible and depends on your needs and preferences.

      • For electric models:
        If you only want to plug it into a power outlet, you can easily install it yourself by following our instructions. However, if you prefer a more professional or hard-wired installation, we recommend that you have a qualified electrician.

      • For hydraulic models:
        They require connection to the central heating system, which can be done by a specialized plumber or installer. This ensures that the connections are secure and that the system is functioning properly.

      Rointe towel rails, whether oil-fired or hydraulic, require minimal maintenance to stay in tip-top condition, but it’s important to keep them clean and dust-free. This ensures efficient performance and extends its service life.

      Dust and dirt can accumulate on the surfaces of the towel rail and, in the case of oil models, can hinder natural convection. That’s why we recommend cleaning them at least once every 6 months, especially before the winter season.

      Steps to clean your towel dryer:

      1. Turn off your towel rail:

        • For electric models, be sure to turn it off the power before you start.
        • For hydraulic models, make sure the heating system is turned off and cool.

      2. Removes dust and debris:

        • You can use a non-abrasive cloth or wipe to clean the towel dryer. towel dryerAvoid any cleaning product that may damage the surface.
        • A feather duster can be used for more difficult areas.
        • Condensation of vapor or moisture on the surface is normal. The thermal fluid inside is colored, usually pink or green, which will help you differentiate this condensation from a possible fluid leak.

      3. Clean with mild soap:

        • Prepare a solution of warm water with mild soap (neutral pH).
        • Dampen a non-abrasive cloth or sponge, making sure to remove excess water before running it over the towel rail.

      4. Dry the towel rail:

        • Use a dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture, especially on the connections of hydraulic models.
      Yes, it is completely normal. The Towel rails are not completely filled in order to leave a small air space that can absorb the expansion of the thermal fluid. The diffusion of heat through this air chamber is slower and this means that the upper bars do not heat up as quickly and do not reach the same maximum temperature. the same speed and do not reach the same maximum temperature, but this does not affect the efficiency of the towel dryer in any way. dryer.

      Several factors influence the effectiveness of your towel drying system, so calculating consumption and running costs can be tricky. It is essential to choose the towel dryer that best suits your needs:

      • Make sure you select the right model:
        Consider the size and characteristics of your space when choosing between electric or hydraulic towel dryers. A properly sized model will ensure efficient and comfortable performance.

      • Optimises energy costs:
        If you use an electric towel rail, periodically check your electricity provider’s rates to make sure you’re getting the best price. This will help you maximize efficiency and reduce running costs.

      • Assess your needs:
        Determine if you need a towel rail that works independently or if you can integrate it into your central heating system, which may be more cost-effective in some cases.
