Like any of the radiator panels within the house, towel rails will be hot to touch when they are in heating up mode. This, however, isn’t hot enough that you will burn yourself by touching them. Towel rails can also have thermostatic relief valves installed whereby you can manually turn down the temperature on the individual panels or towel rail.

If need be, we can also turn down the overall water temperature flowing through your hydronic system though this will increase the amount of time it takes the hydronic system to get up to your desired temperature and can affect the systems efficiency. Older children and pets will learn to avoid the towel rails and panels when the system is heating up though if you have very small children, feel free to discuss any concerns with whichever sales rep is designing your system..
