Do the vertical heated towel rails require an in-wall mounting system or can they be retrofitted?
Our vertical heated towel rails do not require an in-wall mounting system for installation, and come supplied with a transformer and all required mounts to complete the install. Therefore, provided that your electrician is able to get power down to the mounting points, it is possible for you to retrofit the vertical heated towel rails to an existing tiled wall.

What temperature does a Vertical Towel Rail get to?
As with most Thermorail Heated Towel Rails, the Vertical Rails heat to around 35 degrees without a towel. When a towel is placed over the bars the towel insulates the rail and absorbs the heat, meaning that beneath the towel the temperature will rise to between 50 – 55 degrees.

Do I require a transformer?
No, these rails are part of our 240Volt range which means no transformer is required, they wire directly into the incoming power supply.

What is the recommended spacing when installing two or more vertical rails?
The spacing of the vertical rails is really up to your individual preference. Generally, we would recommend around 200mm apart as a good spacing for these rails, however this is a guide only and some wish to have the rails closer or further apart which is fine. If you choose to have the hooks installed on one or more of the rails, you will also need to take this into account with the spacing, as this adds to the total width.

Can I wire multiple rails to one timer?
Yes, absolutely, you can connect more than one heated towel rail to a single timer. There are just a few things to consider; You cannot exceed the load rating of the timer (this varies from 1 amp to 16 amps depending on the timer), and all the rails wired to one timer will be on at the same time, they cannot be set on individual schedules. The addition of a timer makes your life simple and rewarding with warm towels everyday and wiring multiple rails to one timer allows you to achieve this result easily and beautifully.
