  • Moved into a new build flat in November and just realised that in the bathroom there’s a heated towel rail above the bath, facing the shower. I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen an installation like this, and it makes me a little uncomfortable that water from the shower can hit the electric controls. Is this okay, or a death trap?

  • Looks bad to me. Not sure on the exact legitimacy of it, but doesn't seem right in my book. A regular heating powered towel rail fair enough, but not electric or boosted*

    *Electric showers and downlights are OK so long as the correct type in the correct zone and fitted properly.

  • While looking for other stuff I found the fitting document for my electric towel radiator (made by Geyser) and it says “electric towel radiators should not be fitted in zone 1”

  • Looks dodgy as fuck to me but they don't specify installation zones in their manual.

    I would contact the manufacturer and ask. It'll be a complete PIA to remove as the wiring is run behind the tiles.

    Surprised that the building inspector signed it off.
