Why Gordon?
Gordon’s design embraces the way that most of us already hang or dry our towels. Gordon dries towels up to 3 times faster than the standard towel rails, resulting in way lesser electricity usage.
-
Designed to operate at a constant Low Surface Temperature standard of 43°C ensures complete safety. The temperature will rise slightly when covered to minimise drying time and maximise efficiency.
-
This was the clever part… How do you promote the convection currents that will provide a constant flow of warm dry air over the towel? This is where our two decades of experience designing high-performance radiators combined with state of the art modelling techniques come in. It’s essentially all in the architectural design.
-
This is where the traditional ladder rail design breaks down completely. Not only does it not provide adequate airflow, but due to the horizontal nature of the towel hanging it also traps a pocket of damp air underneath the towel that, once it has become saturated with moisture, cannot absorb any more and so prevents the towel from drying further in that area. Gordon towel radiator’s use of long vertical fins provides free air galleries that constantly exhaust the humid air, replacing it with dry air from underneath the towel warmer.
Gordon is carefully designed to support the way most of us are already used to hanging or dying our towels. Gordon is also designed to save you space no matter what is the size of your bathroom.
Gordon vertical heated towel rail is engineered to provide exceptional value for money when it comes to power consumption. Gordon could be left on year-round and still would clock in less electricity usage than a traditional heated rail.
The aluminium built of Gordon also contributes to its phenomenal performance and contributes greatly to its power efficiency. Aluminium naturally generates a protective thin oxide coating which keeps the metal from making further contact with the environment. Not only does the aluminium built protect Gordon against corrosion, but aluminium also is an excellent heat and electricity conductor and in direct relation to its weight is almost twice as good a conductor as copper.
Multiple test results have shown that Gordon reached the optimum operating temperature up to three times quicker than the traditional heated towel rails. Gordon – flash drying towel warmer.

Installation Guidelines
You have questions. We have answers.
-
Yes, 100%.
GORDON is a friction coefficient product. Most ladder rails are chrome or their surface finish is certainly of a satin presentation. So they shed towels in a way that our non-slip fine textured coating selected never will.
(Coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the force required to move to slide surfaces over each other, and the force holding them together)
-
Gordon can be hardwired to an on/off switch, timer switch or hard wired to a fused spur.
When your electrician installs Gordon, your electrician can wire the unit to be controlled by a standard on/off switch, timer switch or 230v hardwired plug. Many of our customers find the more efficient way to control Gordon is to have a timer that comes on 2 or 3 hours before using the towels (to ensure they are lovely and warm) and timed to go off 2 or 3 hours after using the towels (to ensure they are completely dry).
-
Gordon uses 200 watts of electricity, so low power consumption compared to other heated towel rails. A single Gordon left on continuously for one hour would consume 0.2kWh and a double Gordon would consume 0.4kWh, that’s because they are 200w and 400w heaters respectively. The cost will vary depending on how much you pay per kWh for electricity. For example, if you are paying 30p per kWh and Gordon is using 1/5th of this, the cost to run Gordon is around 5-6p per hour. The real cost saving in using Gordon compared to other heated towel rails is that Gordon warms and dries towels in a flash so you only need it on for 1/3rd of the time of a traditional towel ladder.

Gordon’s primary function is to warm and dry your towels very quickly and efficiently. The unit will give add some additional heat output, however, we don’t suggest you rely on it as a main heat source unless your bathroom is really small.
-
Yes, Gordon will! each of the 4 fins are designed to hold one towel each, so the unit will warm and dry up to 4 towels very efficiently and effectively.
-
When your electrician installs Gordon, they will need to wire the towel warmer back to a control switch. The switch can be a simple standard on/off switch on the wall, or the most efficient method of control is a timer switch. To maximise the efficiency of Gordon we recommend pairing it with our timer switch options available here.
-
Yes, we have Gordons available for US and Canadian markets with heat mats specifically designed for 110v current.

We reached this conclusion by running multiple tests.
Our tests comprised warming the regular towel rails with their recommended heating element of 350w. Whereas, Gordon's warming element was just 200w. The outcomes showed that to reach atmospheric humidity level, where all the towels could be considered dry, Gordon required only 84 minutes while the traditional rail required 27 extra minutes. In terms of powerful utilization of the energy, it implies that Gordon requires just 43% of the energy when compared to traditional rails to actually dry the towel. You can run Gordon throughout the year and still save up to £150 in energy prices when compared to traditional rails.
