A Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) is a valve that allows you to control the temperature of a room by adjusting how much heat the radiator in the room emits by turning the dial, usually a 1-5 (low to high) heat rating.

A manual valve is a simple on or off valve meaning you cannot control the temperature like you can with a TRV valve. When the manual valve is set to “on” the radiator will get hotter and hotter until it reaches the set temperature on your thermostat.

We have a showroom in Bracknell, Berkshire showcasing many of our Towelrads brand.

Smart Thermostatic elements are able to offer five temperature settings with temperatures from 30c to 65c other functionality are such things as 2hr boost, 12/24 hour recurring timer. The element also has active safety features built in with the temperature sensor and thermal fuse which initiates in the event of dry radiator operating. The smart thermostatic element also offers frost protection.

Smart Non-Thermostatic elements are a little different with a small simple control which allows a consistent temperature of 65c. The non-thermostatic element does offer the same safety features as above with the temperature sensor and thermal fuse built in.

Smart Thermostatic with remote elements are similar to the smart thermostatic elements with a few added extras, with these elements you are still able to regulate the temperature and also has the built-in protection like the other elements available. This element does have a drying function were your able to set the temperature and timings between 1-4 hours and with the remote that is supplied you are able to set all these functions with ease.

Smart 43D elements maintain a consistent temperature of 43c and also includes a 2-hour drying function. This element also includes the added protection of the built-in temperature sensor and thermal fuse which protects it against over heating or dropping below 5-7c.

The T-Piece is used for dual fuel radiator set up which lets you connect it to the central heating along with an element fitted, with easy installation, durability and functionality. The selection of finishes allows you to match perfectly with the radiator of your choice.

This is a question that is asked a lot of time when it all depends on the aesthetics you want and the function you are using it for. For instance, if you’re looking to heat up your bathroom a radiator is the best choice, although both a radiator and a towel rail are more than adequate to heat up the room the radiator generally will have a higher BTU which means a higher heat output. This is when it comes down to your choice; a towel rail is designed to hang towels where as most of the time a radiator will be unable to hold more than 1 towel it also depends on the room for example you wouldn’t put a towel rail in the living room but a radiator would.

A duel fuel rail is usually made up of a rail, element and a T-piece. (there are TRV valves available that incorporate a T-Piece on our site for a cleaner finish) the entirety is plumbed into your central heating system allowing it to be heated by your central heating system; it also has an electrical element so it can still be used when your central heating system is not active this is combined by using the T-Piece. In the summer months most central heating systems are switch off. To keep the benefits of a heated rail during the summer when the central heating system is off is to use your fitted element to heat the rail at the times you need it.

Pipe sleeves are for aesthetics only. Match the finish of your radiator or make them blend in to the background, it is purely down to your preference. All pipe sleeves do is cover the pipes that come from the floor/wall and in to your radiator.
