Runtal invented the flat panel radiator in Switzerland in the 1950's and it was introduced in America in 1985 as the flagship of our towel radiator line. The design maximizes surface area and radiant heat output. The Runtal Omnipanel is available in six electric and 25 hydronic models with heat outputs up to 7920 BTUH. Plug-in and direct wire models are offered with an off/lo/med/hi temperature control. Also offered is a hardwire model (without controls) for areas where controls on the unit are not allowed by the code such as near a jetted-tub. Both bottom and rear piping are offered on hydronic models. Omnipanels are finished with powder coat enamel and several sizes are also offered in chrome.
Easy to Install:
For years now, Europeans have found the key to unlocking a bathroom's potential is the comfort provided by the Runtal line of towel radiators. Runtal towel radiators offer comfortable radiant heat in the bathroom while at the same time providing the luxury of warm, dry towels and bathrobes.
As a Bathroom Heater:
Just as the sun provides for optimum radiant comfort, Runtal towel radiators radiate heat evenly, gently and quietly. Runtal European-style towel radiators are available in either self-contained electric models or hydronic models which integrate into a closed-loop forced hot water heating system. Model types and sizes allow for variations in heat outputs that enable a towel radiator to be used as a supplemental heater or as the sole source of heat for the entire room.
As a Towel Warmer:
As a towel warmer each Runtal product is designed to maximize towel warming capacity. There are few sensations in the world which match the feel of a toasty towel or bathrobe after bathing. From a practical perspective, Runtal towel radiators help reduce mold and mildew and keep towels fresh between laundering.
Versatility:
Not only for the bathroom, Runtal towel radiators provide an attractive and versatile means to warm other difficult to heat rooms such as kitchens, entryways, laundry rooms and any room where comfort is paramount and space is limited.
