You can read pages and pages of articles dedicated to heated towel rails, however, the ‘technical’ details are often missed out. Last week we brought you an article on IP ratings – a tech spec that you’ll always spot in product description without necessarily understanding it’s function - but very few people actually know what they are. Today we are touching upon a similar subject that probably creates confusion amongst some of our customers: what is the difference between dry thermal heating technology and thermal fluid heating technology.

Towels… One of those simple things in life we just can’t live without. Regardless of the time, place and season, no one likes to wrap themselves in a damp or cold towel. Stepping out of a steamy shower in the morning and feeling the warmth of your fluffy towel around you. Walking around the house proudly in a towel turban after a lengthy hair washing session. Towels are vital to your morning and evening routines and you want them to be warm and ready to be used, but that’s not where their job ends. They are that final touch of colour to your bathroom design scheme. Stylish snow-white towels for a fresh look, classy black towels to add some elegance, cute rainbow towels to show-off your fun side… the possibilities are endless!

Shopping for an alternative to your old central heating system can be tough, especially if you’re new to electric heating systems. At some point, you’ll come across offers such as ‘energy-efficient electric radiators from £199.99’. On the other hand, you’ll see websites advertising electric heaters for as little as £99. They may not be ‘energy efficient heaters’, but you can’t turn a blind eye to the fact, that they are available for almost half of the price of electric radiators. So, what’s the catch?

Are you interested in an electric radiator, but worried it won’t match your vintage living room or Victorian-style kitchen? It’s a perfectly valid reason to be worried. But can you enjoy the benefits of electric heating whilst keeping the harmony in your living spaces? Let’s find out! 

At Electric Radiators Direct, we truly believe that electric heating is the future. Our parents and grandparents might remember the days when electric heating was an expensive alternative to central gas heating, which might’ve been true at the time. Nowadays, electric radiators leave their competition behind when it comes to programmability, instalment and freedom of choice. So, what makes us believe that making a transition to electricity will be your best decision?

Your hallway is ultimately the first and last place you, your family and your guests inhabit when you come and go on your everyday business. It is also unavoidable when you wander around your house, downstairs and upstairs, countless times during the day. And whilst you don’t exactly sit around in your hallway, it is important that you’re able to keep it adequately warm during the colder months, for example now. You don’t want to be hit by a breeze of cold air once you step inside after a long day at work, and you definitely don’t want a poorly heated staircase to affect your living room or kitchen throughout the evening.

Electric radiators are without doubt the best primary heating solution available on the market thanks to their innovative and economical energy saving features. However, some rooms can benefit from an electric heater. Whilst a radiator should serve as your primary source of heating, an electric panel heater does a great job at delivering on-demand heat. It is also a great alternative for rooms you use infrequently, such as guest bedrooms or conservatories. 

I’m sure we all share that mutual feeling of coming home from work, ridiculously tired, swearing at the cold wind and fantasizing about our warm and cosy beds, only to find out that our house… is even colder than the outdoors. This leads us to some drastic decisions and important questions such as ‘will turning my thermostat up really high make my house warm up faster?’.

Winter can be a lovely time. All the snowball fights, decorations, festivals, snowman building with friends and of course our beloved Christmas. But it can also be a dangerous season. We are either the ones constantly nagging about or dismissing the idea of dressing up warmly before going outside. Although it is true that British winter is not as harsh as it is towards east, for example in Germany, it shouldn’t be taken lightly, yet most of us still assume the worst case scenario is getting a cold. However, the actual risk to our health posed by the cold is much more serious.
