How Electric Towel Rails Work
Atlantic electric towel rails use a sealed thermal fluid heated by an internal electric element. Once switched on, the fluid circulates through the rails by natural convection, warming both the bars and the surrounding air. This dual function means your towels stay warm and dry while the bathroom itself gets a comfortable ambient temperature boost â typically 3-5°C above unheated levels.
Choosing the Right Towel Rail Model
Atlantic offers five towel rail families to suit different bathroom sizes and styles. The RSS 2012 is the classic bestseller with timer and thermostat, available in white. The RSS 2012 Digital adds weekly programming for fully automated schedules. For narrow bathrooms, the RSS 2012 Anthracite Narrow series is only 40 cm wide and brings a modern dark finish. The DORIS Digital features a sleek flat-panel design with digital controls, while the compact KEA is perfect for very small spaces at just 34 cm wide.
Installation & Safety
Every Atlantic towel rail is rated IP24 for bathroom use, meaning it is fully protected against water splashes from any direction. Installation is straightforward â wall-mount the unit, plug it into a standard outlet (or hardwire for a cleaner look), and you are ready to go. No plumber needed. All models include Class II double insulation, so no earth connection is required.
SANI HELLAS provides free shipping across Greece and full after-sales support for all Atlantic towel rail models.
Energy Consumption & Cost
Towel rails consume between 300W and 750W depending on the model and size. Because they are typically used for just 2-4 hours a day â warming towels before and after showers â the actual energy cost is surprisingly low. A 500W towel rail running 3 hours a day costs roughly 4-6 euros per month at average Greek electricity rates. Models with digital timers and weekly programming help optimise usage further.
