Modern water heated towel rails not only perform the function of removing excess moisture from the bathroom, but also decorate the room. There used to be a U-shaped pipe sticking out of the wall, which could have been painted at most. Today, a real struggle has unfolded between sanitary ware manufacturers; it has become really difficult to choose a high-quality water heated towel rail for an apartment. Chromed stainless steel or brass? Domestic or Western manufacturer? All these questions will be answered by the rating of water heated towel rails, which is displayed on your screen.
Atlantic NA 500W
Let us immediately note that there is an equally popular alternative to water heated towel rails - electric heated towel rails.
The most profitable and economical among devices of similar power are Atlantic heated towel rails (France).
Atlantic NA 500W is one of the most popular models of the French concern. Its compact size (width is only 40 cm) will allow it to fit perfectly into the interior of any, even the smallest, bathroom. The unique coating is not subject to corrosion and does not lose its attractiveness throughout its entire service life.
The average cost of Atlantic NA 500W is 15,790 rubles. Russian analogues with the same power are 2 or more times more expensive, European ones - 5-7 times. Atlantic's affordable prices are the result of the scale of production.
The power of the Atlantic NA 500W is enough to heat a bathroom of 5 square meters. In addition, this heated towel rail can dry 2-3 towels at once in less than an hour. Six operating modes and a built-in programmer allow you to save energy and effectively heat the room, maintaining the set temperature.

Made of brass
Brass heaters have a pleasant golden color due to the copper included in the alloy. The material is very plastic, and therefore water radiators made of brass take on intricate shapes.

Terminus water heated towel rails
The Terminus company occupies a leading position in the production of heated towel rails of various types. This manufacturer has more than 17 years of experience. Its catalog contains more than 180 types of water heated towel rails. The cost of products ranges from 1,000 rubles (economy) to 35,000 rubles (premium).

All products are made from pipes with a wall thickness of at least 2 mm. and undergo mandatory tests for resistance to pressure of 25 atmospheres.
With leak protection
Water in a central heating system often contains mechanical suspensions, dissolved salts and chemical impurities. For this reason, radiators that do not have an internal anti-corrosion coating quickly fail. This is especially true for European thin-walled pipes. To prevent leaks, manufacturers supplement heated towel rails with a system of dampers inside the pipe.

Rating of manufacturers of water heated towel rails
When choosing a heated towel rail, you need to pay attention not only to its shape and material. It is equally important to know the manufacturer. After all, manufacturers in different countries have their own quality requirements. For example, in Europe, most houses have boiler rooms, so the pipes are not designed for such high coolant pressure as ours. In addition, it is rare to find European water heaters with internal anti-corrosion finishing, while our products are adapted to the quality of piped water.
