Question from Jason: Asked on 23/10/2025 Hi there
I am thinking of placing this behind a traditional central heating radiator towel rail. Is it safe for towels to be in close proximity to this heating panel? I don't want to replace the existing central heating radiator due to expense and I can't convert it to dual fuel. So I'm looking for an additional panel.
Hi Jason,Placing the EPPH425WIR panel behind a towel rail is not recommended if towels will hang close to or touch it, because the panel can get hot and covering or obstructing it may create a fire risk, reduce efficiency, and potentially damage the towels.Thanks!
