Water towel warmer - comfort in the house

In order for your bathroom to be warm, cozy and comfortable, you need two conditions: an electric or a water towel and the presence of forced ventilation. Only in this case, in conditions of high humidity, fungus and mold will not start, and in winter it will be warm in this damp room. First you need to To understand, what there are towel warmers. Today there are two types of these devices: water and electric. With the electrical everything is simple: chose, strengthened, included in the network. With water it's a bit more complicated. It is necessary to understand.

The water towel heater today is made of stainless or black steel, chrome-plated brass. Stainless steel products have a longer service life, but they have a rather high price. Towel dryers of black steel usually have an external coating of brass, chromium or polymeric materials. They look pretty attractive, but their service life does not exceed 5 years: there is a high probability of damage to the coating, which in conditions of high humidity leads to a fairly rapid failure. Brass towel rails and look good, and serve long enough, but they also have one drawback: they are not designed for high pressure. They can be installed in private houses and cottages, in apartments with individual heating. In heating systems of such rooms, the operating pressure does not exceed 3-5 Bar. Installation of brass Towel warmers in rooms connected to a centralized heating system is associated with a high degree of risk: the working pressure of such systems is about 8 Bar, and in some works it can rise to 10 Bar, which far exceeds the safety factor of brass. Because in the high-rise buildings it is recommended to install a stainless steel water towel in the bathroom. It is designed for operating pressures up to 12-15 bar, has good resistance to active media and additives, which are often added to water used for district heating.

A water towel made of any material can have a bizarre design, but most often there is a "ladder" or "serpentine". Today there are a lot of them in the trade network. You will be able to choose a water towel to your taste and requirements. The coils are often made in the form of a U-shaped or M-shaped contour (with or without jumpers). "Lesenki" have much more varieties. They differ in the number of bars, their thickness and shape, the presence and number of shelves, etc. There are even rotary models, but they are like Rule, imported origin and the realities of our heating system can not stand: after a while start to flow. Such models can be installed in rooms with an individual heating system: there the pressure is stable and these devices feel good and serve well.

Where do they produce a water towel warmer?

Italy, Germany, the ubiquitous China, Russia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, England, Spain - here is not a complete list of countries producing this type of equipment. To whom to give preference? If you have individual heating - it all depends on personal preferences and the amount that you can allocate for the purchase. For all the other products of Russian or Ukrainian manufacturers will be priority. And it is desirable to choose products from stainless steel, with a pipe thickness (not diameter, and wall thickness) not less than 3mm. And the pipe must be integral (without welds). This will ensure that the new water heated towel heater will last a long time and will not cause problems when using it.
