description: This electric towel rail with a built-in programmable thermo-ventilator is made of polyamide 6, steel sheeting and welded steel tubing. The name (which talks about heat in the bathroom and for towels) is intended to tell about the product’s function as a convector heater that produces a jet of hot air, paired with a towel rail: the two functions can be used separately or together. The level of comfort desired can be set with an electronic timer and a thermostat and their functions can be programmed so that the device will switch on and off when you need it. Special care has been dedicated to transportation and installation. The double height model closes like a book and the user opens it when it is installed, using hinges which are then concealed by the plastic ribbing on the sides, which also conceal the serpentine steel tubes. The design also takes the product’s recycling into account, facilitating the separation of the plastic parts from the steel.
