It is possible to take water procedures with pleasure only at a comfortable temperature. And a tubular radiator installed in the bathroom will be able to help create it. In addition, such an attribute will not allow the smell of dampness, mold and fungi to appear in the bathroom. Traditionally, towels and linen were dried on radiators of this type, which gave it the second name “heated towel rail”.
In the Russian market, a significant niche is occupied by Tera domestic production. The heated towel rail of this brand is of high quality at relatively low prices. The company, organized back in 2003, relies on the convenience and simplicity of its models.
Product Feature
"Tera" is a heated towel rail, which is made from quality raw materials - AISI-304 stainless steel. This material is characterized by low magnetic properties and lends itself well to welding.
Parts are interconnected by welding. The difference is that no additive is used in this process. As a result, a neat thin seam is formed, which can be characterized as reliable and durable.
The smoothness of the surface is achieved by electron-plasma grinding. Thanks to this, there is no need to worry that puffs will appear on the linen.
Radiators have a mirror surface, becoming not just a functional part, but also an element of decor. You can choose a suitable model for all interiors, for large and not very rooms.
Most users are happy with how the Tera heated towel rail works. Reviews are positive. This applies to ordinary consumers, and specialists involved in plumbing.
Of course, there are opposing opinions. The most common problem is that the Tera heated towel rail begins to leak water over time.
The company provides a guarantee for all products. But, of course, durability and quality of service largely depend on the operation and the correct connection. So, electric tubular radiators should only be connected to grounded outlets. Water models require much more training. The process of connecting to the system will require shutting off the water in the riser. Therefore, for installation, it is better to contact a specialist.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of Tera heated towel rails include the following factors:
- To the models you can choose a variety of trims, holders and shelves.
- Shelves are tilted forward, which makes drying clothes more convenient.
- Electric models offer 5 heating modes.
Disadvantages:
- Leaks during operation in economy class models.
- Unreliable seams after welding.
- The final coating may slime.
The range of "Tera"
A heated towel rail is almost the only decor item in the bathroom. It is far from always possible to use other accessories. Therefore, the design task is also assigned to radiators. And if you look at the photos of Tera models, it becomes clear: the manufacturer coped with this task and managed to combine functionality and attractiveness. Along with classic models, the company offers not quite standard options. In general, the company's lineup includes about 80 species (50 water and 30 electric). But this is not the limit. A number of new products are constantly being replenished.
Small-sized rooms are suitable for M-shaped and U-shaped models. There are also PM models that combine two types of radiators into one.
For small rooms there are options with ladders and shelves, the size of which reaches 60-120 cm. A striking representative is the Tera Bohemia heated towel rail, which is available in both water and electric. To them you can pick up many different shelves and holders.
Among the new products can be distinguished models of "Victoria", "Wave New", "Classic" (with lateral tap), "Rib", "Bridge".
Water radiators
Water towel dryers "Tera" are suitable in cases where the water pipes are connected to a hot water supply or heating system.
Tubular water radiators have several advantages over electric ones:
- Do not consume electricity.
- Work throughout the heating season.
Electric radiators
Electric heated towel rail "Tera" is chosen in those cases when:
- There is no way to connect to the heating or hot water system (or this requires large financial costs).
- There are frequent cases of malfunction of the water supply or a systematic shutdown of hot water.
- The desire to regulate the temperature and heating mode.
- As additional heating in the event that the main radiator works periodically (for example, in the autumn-winter period together with central heating).
The electric towel rail manufactured by Tera has a number of differences from water radiators:
- Heats up quickly (cools down).
- Indoor installation does not require special knowledge and training, skills and tools.
Accessories
For installation and operation of heated towel rails, additional accessories may be required. The main ones are:
- Fittings (most often customers prefer chrome plated).
The Tera company offers its customers a wide selection of various components of good quality, suitable for all models of heated towel rails.
