Steel Lupin and Poppy towel rails now feature smart electric controls as standard, available in white, chrome, and 31 special finish options.
The steel Lupin and Poppy towel rail lineups are transitioning to include 'Smart Electric' functionality as standard. The updated heating units come in standard white and chrome colorways, alongside a selection of 31 special finishes aimed at domestic bathroom installations.
Integrating smart electric capability straight out of the box reflects a wider shift toward precise temperature control and energy management in domestic heating systems. By incorporating standard electric element controls, installers can offer clients improved energy efficiency and schedule management without requiring retrofitted third-party smart modules.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for? Plumbers and heating engineers specified on bathroom refurbishments no longer need to source separate smart elements or external controllers when fitting the Lupin or Poppy lines. While factory-fitted smart components reduce overall installation time on site, buyers should check whether these upgraded units carry a price premium compared to standard electric or dual-fuel models previously stocked by plumbing merchants. If pricing remains stable, it offers a straightforward spec upgrade for clients seeking programmable heating control without increasing labor costs.
