Product Information
Full details
The Terma Alex One Electric Towel Rail is designed for homeowners and interior decorators seeking a minimalist, clutter-free bathroom heating solution that prioritizes both aesthetics and functionality. Its key benefit lies in the internalised heating element and hidden cabling, which create a seamless look, though users should note that the unit requires a hardwired electrical connection rather than a standard plug-in installation.

FAQs
Can I plug this into a standard wall socket?
No, the Terma Alex One is designed for hardwired electrical installation.
What does the IPx5 rating mean?
It means the unit is protected against water jets from any direction, making it safe for installation in most bathroom locations.
Does the unit come with a thermostat?
The unit has integrated temperature control settings (45°C/60°C) and can be used with external ambient room temperature controllers.
What is the finish of the towel rail?
The rail features a high-quality White RAL 9016 powder-coated finish.
Can I control this using a smartphone?
The unit itself does not have native Wi-Fi, but it is compatible with external Terma IR controllers that allow for more advanced scheduling and smart integration.
Troubleshooting
LED is not lighting up
Verify that the main electrical supply is switched on and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Rail is not heating up
Check that the device has been correctly toggled to a heat setting (45°C or 60°C) and is not currently in a dormant state.
2-hour timer turns off prematurely
The unit is designed to automatically shut off after the 2-hour cycle completes; if you need more time, simply re-engage the drying function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Terma Alex One should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations, as this unit is intended for hardwired connection. The mounting system is designed to hide the power cable behind the rail, providing the most professional finish if planned during bathroom renovation or tiling phases.
For daily care, wipe the white RAL 9016 surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the LED panel remains clear of obstructions for easy visibility of the heat settings. Regularly check that the wall mounts remain secure and that no debris is blocking the underside control button.
