Dual Fuel Towel Rails
Dual fuel towel rails connect to your central heating but also include an electric element. Use them with your heating during colder months, then switch to electric when the central heating is off. That makes dual fuel towel radiators handy when you still want warm towels or some bathroom warmth on milder days.
When choosing a dual fuel towel rail, start with the size and heat output your bathroom needs, then check the electric element and controls. Depending on the model, you may have a simple on/off element or a thermostatic option. Always make sure the towel rail, element and valves are designed to work together.
Choose from straight and curved ladder dual fuel towel rails, designer models and traditional column-style towel radiators. Our range includes compact and taller sizes in finishes such as chrome, black, white, anthracite and brushed brass, so dual fuel doesn't limit the style you can choose.

FAQ's
Dual fuel towel rails give you two ways to warm your towel rail, but there are a few things to check before you buy. These FAQs cover how it works, which element you need, installation and whether an existing towel radiator can be converted.
What are the benefits of a dual fuel towel radiator?
Dual fuel towel radiators offer greater flexibility over when you heat your towels. Key benefits include:
- Independent heating: Use the electric element when your central heating is switched off.
- Year-round convenience: Keep towels warm during summer without heating the whole home.
- Flexible control: Depending on the element, you may have access to temperature settings or timer functions.
- Versatile installation: Connects to central heating while also offering an electric heating option.
Available features vary by model, so be sure to check the product specifications before buying.
Can I use a dual fuel towel radiator when the central heating is off?
Yes! When fitted with a compatible electric heating element, a dual fuel towel radiator can operate independently of your central heating system. This means you can warm towels during warmer weather or whenever you don't need to heat the rest of your home.
How do I choose the right size dual fuel towel radiator?
Consider both the available wall space and the amount of heat your bathroom needs. Measure the installation area and check the radiator's dimensions, including any extra space required for valves, pipework and the heating element.
You should also compare the radiator's BTU output with your room's heating requirements. Room dimensions, insulation, windows and external walls can all affect how much heat is needed, so use our BTU guide to help you choose an appropriate model.
Can I convert an existing towel radiator to dual fuel?
Some centrally heated towel radiators can be converted by adding a compatible electric element and the correct valves or fittings. Not every towel radiator is suitable, though, so check the manufacturer's requirements before buying any additional parts.
Does a dual fuel towel rail need professional installation?
Yes. As a dual fuel towel rail connects to both your central heating and the electricity supply, you'll usually need a plumber and a qualified electrician to fit it.
