The electrical connection of the electric dryer must be carefully selected. There are two options:
- Hidden. All wires are laid in the wall. This method is safer, because all items connected to the mains must avoid water ingress.
- Open. The usual socket and plug are used. In terms of security, this option is much worse.
When selecting an open connection option, you need to pull the plug into the coder( or the adjacent room) using a hole in the wall.
As already mentioned above, the electric heated towel rail is of two types: oil and cable. What are their main advantages?
The cable dryer instantly heats up and cools. The plus is that this towel does not require earthing.
The oil dryer heats up longer, but at the same time it allows longer to keep the heat in the room. Heating of such a device occurs from the bottom up( due to the location of the heating element at the bottom of the housing).
When choosing a device, do not worry about the design of the bathroom. Towel warmers can be found in different colors and shapes. The most common dryers are white, gold, chrome. Domestic producers have a slightly smaller choice of colors.
Price
As for the price of the issue, there is a very wide variety. From 8000 to 50000-70000 rubles. The question is, who needs a sushi for 50 thousand? The most commonly bought heated towel racks in the range of 15 to 25 thousand rubles. As a rule, oil dryers are much cheaper.
You should also pay attention to the choice between a stationary and a rotary heated towel rail. The second is better suited in bathrooms of a small size, when you often need to get close to the distant shelves.
Floor dryers at prices more expensive than the wall. To the pluses it is possible to attribute the fact that such a device will not make your eyes blush, to cons - you will not hang anything on it.
When choosing a towel directly in the store, it is necessary to consult the seller.
