High-quality, low consumption energy-efficient electric towel rails from Rointe.
Discover our extensive range of towel heaters for bathrooms at competitive prices here.
Rointe have been manufacturing electric towel rails for bathrooms since 2001, starting with the Gatta and Vito ranges (now discontinued).
There are plenty of interesting features in our heated towel rails, especially if you’re searching for a comfortable and reliable bathroom heating solution that’s unique.
Available in four sizes and a range of finishes, they will fit seamlessly into your décor.
2 HOUR BOOST FUNCTION
Extra comfort for your bathroom.
The exclusive 2-hour boost feature of Rointe electric towel rails is an extraordinary function that you might use more often than not.
When activated, your towel rail will heat to its maximum power for 2 hours, regardless of the current temperature set. The D Series and Kyros take this function one step further, with a choice between extra power for 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes instead.
Thanks to this advanced functionality, your bathroom will reach maximum comfort in a short period of time, without being interrupted by the user.
PRECISE INSTALLATION
Easy to install, wall mounted towel rails.
Our electric towel rails are designed to be wall mounted, with fixings and brackets supplied as part of the product. We also include a handy template for easy positioning.
The towel rail, when sized for a particular room, must not be installed in another, unless the conditions between the rooms are very similar.
We recommend that they are positioned vertically, but never under a window. This would affect the thermostat reading, potentially causing excessive consumption.
SMT MULTI-LAYER ELECTRONICS
Advanced control.
All our towel rails include the latest SMD technology and electronics, ensuring reliable and high-density connections.
These advanced electronics provide stability and better mechanical performance under vibration and shaking conditions, and a more lightweight and compact control panel.
Our electric towel rail control panels are fitted with multi-layer circuits with ultra-low power micro-controllers that manage energy output, helping you save energy.
Maximum safety.
All Rointe electric towel rails have Class II protection (double insulated). They do not require a safety connection to electrical earth (ground) when installed, as the Class II protection ensures sufficient insulation.
The control panel is manufactured from flame-retardant polycarbonate with additives that prevent colour degrading over time.
OIL-FILLED WITH THERMAL FLUID
Stable & even heat transfer.
Rointe electric towel rails are oil filled, with specifically formulated thermal fluid to provide maximum heat transfer in a product with circular conductivity.
The fluid used in each towel rail is an exclusive mineral oil designed to provide better thermal stability that is more environmentally friendly.
This, combined with the usual working temperatures of the product, means a lower risk of corrosion whilst maintaining excellent thermal conductivity.
We take the quality of our products one step further. That’s why we’re able to offer the longest guarantees on the market of up to 10 years on our towel rail steel bodies. We even offer up to 2 years guarantee on the electronic components.
Designer towel rails.

Electric towel rails: FAQ
As they are not gas-based, electric towel rails are not complicated to install. They are installed by drilling a few holes, using the template included for positioning (included with Rointe towel rails) and connecting it to the electric supply.

Electric towel rails heat a room by natural convection.
The towel rail consists of a high heat transfer thermal fluid or oil, which is heated by an electric heating element inside the body. The oil is a heat reservoir, which is not burned. As the oil heats up it circulates by convection, which in turn heats the metal body.
The warm metal surface then heats the air in the room, which rises as it warms. This allows cool air to flow into its place, creating a convection current.
Oil filled electric towel rails are excellent at retaining heat so less energy is needed to increase temperatures in the room space. Even after you turn off, they will continue to gently radiate heat and keep you comfortable because the fluid inside is designed to cool slowly.
In a room such as your bathroom, where constantly high temperatures aren’t needed, electric towel rails are a fantastic idea. They’re efficient at heating the smaller spaces, great at warming your towels and are stylish too.
They are also safe to install in bathrooms if certain procedures are followed. You need to choose the correct place to install as bathrooms are defined as areas of increased electrical hazard, therefore they must be installed in certain positions or zones, and must be hard-wired unless the power socket is at least 3 metres from the bath or shower.
According to the IET 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, bathroom heaters, heated towel rails, lighting and other electrical devices within bathrooms need to comply with IP (ingress protection) ratings in particular zones. This means that when installed correctly the product should prevent the ingress of water and remain safe for use without the potential to cause harm to the end-user i.e electrical shocks or electrocution.
When purchasing a heating appliance from us, it is important to remember that the success of Rointe electric heating systems is down to the correct sizing of the products. In order to achieve maximum comfort and energy efficiency, several factors are considered to calculate the correct electric towel rail size like climate zone, ceiling height and insulation of the room or property.
We’ve created a handy online towel rail and radiator size calculator to guide you in your decision on which products to purchase and the correct size.
All you need to do is complete the information, along with the Rointe product you are interested in and we’ll give you an estimation of the best products and sizes. You can then send a copy of your estimate to your email address.
