Frequently Asked Questions
What are the heat output specifications for The Holt towel rail range?
The Holt offers efficient heating across various sizes. The compact 790mm model delivers 952 BTUs (279 Watts), the 1190mm model provides 1433 BTUs (420 Watts), and the tallest 1590mm version outputs an impressive 2191 BTUs (642 Watts) at Delta T50. It is critical to match these output figures with your bathroom's specific volume and insulation requirements to ensure optimal warmth.
What distinct design features define The Holt collection?
The Holt is characterized by its vertical flat panel design which maximizes surface area for heat distribution while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. This design is not only visually striking but also highly functional for drying towels, as the wide flat surface ensures better contact with the fabric compared to traditional round bars, resulting in faster drying times.
Is The Holt towel rail compatible with dual fuel installations?
Yes, The Holt range is designed to be versatile and is compatible with dual fuel systems. This setup allows you to install a T-piece and an electric heating element, enabling you to operate the rail electrically during warmer months when your main central heating is switched off. You must ensure the electric element wattage matches the thermal capacity of the specific rail size.
What wall depth clearance is required for installation?
The radiator itself has a depth of 117mm. When planning your installation, you must account for this depth plus the additional clearance required for the wall brackets. This projection is a key technical consideration for ensuring the rail does not encroach on walkways or obstruct the opening of shower doors or cabinets in tighter bathroom spaces.
Do I need specific valves for The Holt towel rail?
The Holt does not come with valves included, so you will need to purchase standard 15mm radiator valves separately. The choice between angled, straight, or corner valves depends entirely on your pipework configuration. If your pipes emerge from the wall, angled valves are typically required; if from the floor, straight valves are the standard solution.
What finishes are available for The Holt range?
The standard finish for The Holt is a crisp White RAL 9016, which suits most modern bathroom interiors. However, the range also offers customization options with special finishes, including Chrome and Matt Black, allowing you to match the rail to your tapware and other bathroom accessories for a cohesive design scheme.
How does the vertical orientation benefit small bathrooms?
The Holt's vertical orientation is a problem solving design for bathrooms with limited wall space. By utilizing vertical height rather than horizontal width, it provides a high heat output without occupying valuable floor or lower wall space. The 390mm width across all models makes it perfect for fitting into narrow gaps between fixtures.
What is the warranty period for The Holt designer radiator?
The Holt is backed by a comprehensive 10 Year Guarantee. This long warranty period covers technical manufacturing defects such as leaks, material failure, or finish degradation. It reflects the high quality construction of the unit and provides assurance that it will withstand the humid and variable temperature conditions of a bathroom environment for many years.
How heavy is the radiator and does it require special wall fixings?
The weight of The Holt varies by size, ranging from 10kg for the smallest model to 19kg for the largest 1590mm version. These weights are for the empty radiator; once filled with water, it will be significantly heavier. Therefore, it is technically essential to ensure your wall fixings are driven into solid masonry or timber studs to safely support the full operational load.
How do I bleed air from The Holt if it develops cold spots?
If you notice the top of the panel is cold while the bottom is hot, trapped air is preventing full circulation. To fix this, locate the bleed valve at the top of the radiator. With the central heating system turned off and cool, use a radiator key to slightly open the valve until the air hisses out and water begins to trickle, then close it firmly to restore full efficiency.
