Towelrads Electric Radiators

Match the wattage to the room size: the Metz range is 429 x 610mm (750W), 429 x 680mm (1000W), 429 x 890mm (1500W) and 429 x 1035mm (2000W). As a simple guide, 750W suits a very small cloakroom or compact en-suite, 1000W is good for a typical family bathroom, 1500W for a larger bathroom or combined bathroom/utility, and 2000W for a spacious open-plan wet area. If you have high ceilings, lots of glazing or poor insulation, lean to the next wattage up. These sizes are useful because they let you balance wall-space and heat output without compromising style.

Yes, the glass-front panels are designed for modern interiors and offer a smooth, easy‑to‑wipe surface that suits bathrooms where you want a clean, polished look. They give a contemporary finish and still provide reliable warmth, just like the structured-panel versions. Keep it out of direct splash from showers if you can, and use a suitable IP-rated model in zones that require water protection. Many people choose the glass-front for a high-end ensuite because it stays looking crisp after regular cleaning.

The Metz radiators include digital thermostats and timers so you can set exact temperatures and heating schedules for each room, avoiding wasted heating. program the bathroom to warm up 30 minutes before your morning shower and switch off during the day, rather than leaving heat on constantly. The thermostat maintains the target temperature, reducing on/off cycling and needless electricity use. Because each radiator runs independently, you heat only the rooms you need.

The ultra-slim profile keeps the radiator close to the wall, freeing up floor and wall space for towel rails, cabinets or sinks in compact rooms. If you have a narrow wall beside a basin or a tight corridor into a kitchen, a slim Metz unit gives you the heat you need without a bulky visual or physical obstruction. Slim designs also sit neatly beneath windows or between fittings, letting you maintain a minimalist look while still getting effective warmth. Many customers choose these slim panels specifically to preserve usable space and a clean aesthetic.

Yes, in practical terms the included in our range wattages (750W–2000W) produce comparable heat to a radiator on a central boiler when matched to the room size, so a 1500W Metz can heat a medium-to-large bathroom much like a boiler-fed unit. The real advantage is independent control: you can heat a single room without firing up the whole system, which is handy for extensions or guest bathrooms. Bear in mind that electricity and gas prices differ, so running costs can vary; use the programmable timer to minimise wasted hours and get the best value from the electric operation.
