Dual controllers buying guide


This collection covers Radiant's dual timer and thermostat controllers, including a WiFi-enabled option and a dedicated underfloor heating version, in digital touchscreen and switch formats.

What "dual" controls

A dual controller runs both a heated towel rail's timer and its thermostat from the one wall unit, rather than needing two separate switches.

Adding WiFi control

The WiFi version adds app-based scheduling, useful for turning a towel rail on shortly before getting up without leaving it running all night. Browse bathroom heating and ventilation more broadly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is underfloor heating and is it worth it in Australian bathrooms?

Underfloor heating (also called in-floor or radiant floor heating) consists of electric heating elements or hydronic pipes installed beneath the floor tiles, warming the floor surface from below. In Australian bathrooms, electric mat underfloor heating is the most common type. It is particularly popular in cooler climates (Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, mountain regions) and in bathrooms with stone or porcelain tiles, which retain cold without heating.

What type of underfloor heating is best for a bathroom?

Electric mat underfloor heating is the most practical choice for Australian bathrooms. A heating mat (consisting of resistance cable pre-spaced on a fibreglass mesh) is embedded in the tile adhesive bed before tiles are laid. It is controlled by a thermostat with programmable timer. Hydronic (water-based) underfloor heating is also available but requires connection to a boiler system and is more cost-effective for whole-home installations rather than a single bathroom.

Does underfloor heating work under all types of bathroom tiles?

Electric underfloor heating works well under ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles, materials with good thermal conductivity. It is generally not recommended under thick natural timber flooring or carpet. Always check the compatibility of your chosen floor covering with the underfloor heating system before purchasing.
