Astoria — Replacement Towel Warmer, Anthracite

What should I consider when installing a bathroom or towel radiator?

It is important to install the radiator in an area that allows for optimal heat output and air circulation. Ideally, installation should be on an internal wall to minimise heat loss. Additionally, installation should be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure all connections are correct and secure.

Can I order the Astoria replacement bathroom radiator in different colours? Yes, the Astoria renovation radiator is available in white, black and anthracite. What types of radiators are there for bathrooms? There are mainly three types: electric radiators, which operate independently of the central heating system; water-based radiators, which are connected to the central heating system; and dual-fuel radiators, which are both connected to the central heating system and equipped with an electric element for year-round use. How do I choose the right size and output for a bathroom or towel radiator? The size and output of a radiator should be matched to the size of the bathroom and the desired room temperature. As a rule of thumb, approximately 93 watts of heating output is required for every cubic metre of room volume. It is also important to consider the installation space to ensure the radiator functions effectively and looks aesthetically pleasing. Can towel radiators actually dry towels and how effective are they? Yes, towel radiators can dry and warm towels. The effectiveness depends on the wattage and surface temperature of the radiator. Models with higher wattage can dry towels more quickly. However, it is important to position the towels correctly and ensure the radiator is not overloaded.

Is the Astoria replacement bathroom radiator suitable for dual-fuel and mixed heating operation? Yes, the Astoria is optimally designed for dual-fuel and mixed operation. It can be connected to your central heating as well as operated with an electric heating element. This allows maximum flexibility: you can use it via the heating system in winter and independently with electricity in summer or during transitional periods. This makes it ideal for year-round use – whether for warming the room or quickly drying towels. Is the Astoria suitable for use with heat pumps? Yes, the Astoria can be used with heat pumps. Please note that our standard heat output rating is based on a flow temperature of 75° [in accordance with DIN EN 442]. Electric and mixed operation remain unaffected. It is therefore strongly advisable to determine the appropriate heat output for low-temperature operation at 35° depending on the size of the radiator. Is the Astoria energy-efficient? Yes, the radiator has been designed to combine optimal heat output with low energy consumption, saving you energy costs in the long term. Do the connections have to be on the RIGHT only as shown? No. By rotating the radiator sideways, the replacement radiator can also be connected on the LEFT.
