Hopefully this is a quick one...
I'm currently building a house (well, my builder is, I'm doing a few of the jobs myself). Originally, we were going to have electric towel rails in the bathrooms, because we were going to have solar panels. We're over budget, so the panels will have to wait. Thanks to advice on here, I also changed my mind about the hot water loop being copper (rather than plastic). As such, I'm thinking it would now be best to have dual fuel towel rails on thermostatic valves with timers. Does that sound like the right move? We've four bathrooms, so I'm mindful of the bills racking up, if I get this wrong.
Also, what makes would people recommend for the DF towel rails and valves, please?
Edit: in case it's not already clear(!) I'm a DIYer, not a pro.
Edit2: it's just for drying towels btw, the bathrooms will have UFH.
