You can 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 “towel dryer”.
In the Russian market, a significant niche is occupied by products of domestic production of the Tera company. The towel warmer of this brand differs in high quality at rather small prices. The company, founded back in 2003, relies on the convenience and simplicity of its models.
Product Feature
"Tera" is a heated towel rail, which is made from high-quality raw materials - stainless steel AISI-304. This material has low magnetic properties and can be welded well.
Parts are connected by welding. The difference is that this process does not useadditive. The result is a neat, thin seam that can be characterized as reliable and durable.
Surface smoothness is achieved by electron plasma grinding. Thanks to this, there is no need to worry about puffs on the underwear.
Radiators have a mirror surface, becoming not just a functional detail, but also a decorative element. You can choose the right model for all interiors, for large and small rooms.
Most users are satisfied with the performance of the Tera heated towel rail. Reviews are positive. This applies to both ordinary consumers and professionals involved in plumbing.
Of course, there are opposite opinions. The most common problem is that the Tera towel warmer begins to leak water over time.
The company provides a guarantee for all products. But, of course, the durability and quality of service largely depend on the operation and correct connection. So, electric tubular radiators should only be connected to sockets with grounding. Water models require much more preparation. The process of connecting to the system will require turning off the water supply at the riser. Therefore, it is better to contact a specialist for installation.

Tera range
The heated towel rail is practically the only piece of decor in the bathroom. It is not always possible to use other accessories. Therefore, the design task is also assigned to the radiators. And if you look at the photos of the Tera models, it becomes clear: the manufacturer coped with this task and managed to combine functionality and attractiveness. Along with the classic models, the company offers not quite standard options. In general, the company's model range includes about 80 types (50 water and 30 electric). But this is not the limit. A number of new products are constantly being replenished.
M-shaped and U-shaped models are suitable for small rooms. 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 prominent representative is the Tera Bogema heated towel rail, which is available in both water and electric. They can be matched with many different shelves and holders.
Among the new products are the models "Victoria", "Wave New","Classic" (with side arm), "Rib", "Bridge".
