Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Chrome finish affect the heat output of the Rezzo range?
It is a technical reality that Chrome plating acts as an insulator, retaining more heat within the metal than painted finishes. Consequently, a Chrome Rezzo rail will output approximately 20-30% less radiant heat than a white or anthracite equivalent of the same size. For example, the large 1460mm x 550mm model outputs around 1135 BTUs. You must ensure this output is sufficient for your bathroom's heat loss, or plan to use it primarily for towel warming alongside another heat source like underfloor heating.
What are the exact projection dimensions I need to plan for with the Rezzo Chrome?
The Rezzo Chrome range has a fixed depth profile of 87mm. This measurement is the distance from the wall to the front face of the rail when mounted. This is relatively slim for a designer rail, making it an excellent problem solving option for narrow bathrooms or behind doors where every millimeter of floor space counts. You should ensure your pipework is roughed in to align with this shallow depth to avoid putting stress on the valve connections.
Can the Rezzo Chrome Towel Rail be converted to Dual Fuel for summer use?
Yes, the vertical collector design of the Rezzo range makes it technically suitable for Dual Fuel conversion. This involves fitting a T-piece and an electric heating element into one of the bottom inlets. This setup allows you to heat the rail electrically during the summer months when your main central heating is switched off, ensuring you have dry towels year round. You will need to purchase a compatible element and Dual Fuel kit separately.
What cleaning products should I use to maintain the 10 Year Guarantee on the chrome finish?
To maintain the validity of the 10 Year Guarantee and the shine of the chrome, you must avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemical sprays (like bleach based bathroom cleaners), as these can scratch or strip the plating. The technical recommendation is to clean the rail only when it is cold using a soft microfiber cloth and warm soapy water. For stubborn water marks, a specialized non abrasive chrome polish can be used sparingly.
How do I choose the right size Rezzo rail for my bathroom?
You should base your choice on both physical space and heat requirement. The Rezzo comes in two widths: 450mm for tighter spaces and 550mm for standard spaces. The height determines the towel capacity and heat output. For a family bathroom needing to dry multiple towels, the 1460mm high model (with 9 sections) is advisable. Always cross reference the BTU output (e.g., 619 BTUs for the smallest 740x550mm model) with your room's calculated heat loss.
Does the Rezzo Chrome Towel Rail come with valves included?
No, the Rezzo Chrome Towel Rail is supplied as the rail unit and brackets only; valves are not included. The rail features standard 1/2 inch BSP connections. To complement the high shine finish, we strongly recommend purchasing matching Chrome Radiator Valves. You will need Angled valves if your pipes come from the floor, or Corner/Angled valves if your pipes come from the wall, to ensure a sleek and professional finish.
Is the Rezzo range compatible with all domestic central heating systems?
Yes, the Rezzo Chrome range is manufactured to be fully compatible with standard UK central heating systems, including open vented systems and sealed combi boiler systems. The rails operate efficiently at standard pressures. However, because they are steel products, the heating system must be chemically treated with a high quality inhibitor to prevent internal corrosion and sludge build up, which is crucial for protecting the lifespan of the rail.
Why are the bars spaced out in specific sections on the Rezzo rail?
The Rezzo features distinct groupings of bars (sections) with wider gaps in between. This technical design choice is not just aesthetic; it improves functionality by allowing thick bath towels to be easily slid onto the rails without bunching up. This spacing facilitates better air circulation around the damp fabric, speeding up the drying process and reducing the risk of damp smells developing on your towels.
How heavy is the Rezzo Chrome rail and can it be mounted on a stud wall?
The weights of the Rezzo range are relatively manageable, with the largest 1460x550mm model weighing roughly 12-15kg (unfilled). While this is lighter than cast iron, the weight increases significantly when filled with water. It is safe to mount on a stud wall, but you must ensure the brackets are screwed directly into the timber studs or into reinforced noggins. Using plasterboard fixings alone is not recommended for any heated towel rail due to the variable load of wet towels.
