Stainless steel is the most common metal for the production of black towel warmers... Affordable cost, resistance to water hammer, water with numerous impurities, external presentability - these are some of the significant advantages of stainless steel dryers. The disadvantages include the weightiness of steel structures, which makes their installation difficult.

Such devices can be heated from a heating element, which is immersed in oil or antifreeze, or from a cable.

Water black stainless steel radiators are durable and reliable, they are absolutely safe for use in rooms with high humidity and near water. Unlike electrical devices, these types of devices do not require additional financial costs associated with their use.Water heated towel rails will not heat up when hot water is turned off (during repair or maintenance work): this is the only drawback noted by buyers of stationary appliances.

These models combine the advantages of electric and water models. They are connected to the DHW system and operate on hot water supply... When hot water is turned off, to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room or to dry things, the device can be connected to a 220 V outlet.
