Jan shows how to fit reflecting foil, get more heat from your radiators.

Need every bit of heat you can muster from your heating radiators? A cheap more professional material than Al`s tin foil. Still not a lot of money.

Such a lovely couple these two are.🙏🏽 I’ll put money on it that the polystyrene backed Mylar is 1000x + more heat efficient than aluminium foil. This is because aluminium foil is a conductor which actually takes the majority of radiated heat and transmits it through the brickwork. However, it does reflect the infrared portion which can make it feel warmer when standing in front of an aluminium foil backed rad.

Thanks Yuri.

[@russellg3775]

perfect, you are one of the few people showing a method to stick the foil to the wall, which improves the effectiveness.

[@dereton33]

Thanks 👍

[@JackieKay11]

Thanks Jan and Al 👍 Going to do this by following Al’s link to the online store in the description above, by way of saying thanks 🤗

[@dereton33]

Thanks for that! Cheers Jackie.

Thanks Jan. Useful tip indeed. And very affordable I imagine too?

[@dereton33]

Absolutely!

[@sugarpuff2978]

I'm a bit disappointed that Jan didn't first show us how to take the radiator off the wall so she could put the paper on easily. Has Jan not been watching your plumbing videos Al? 😂

Ha ha she was feeling lazy that day. Ha ha.

Your a lucky man Alan😄

Sure am.

[@ruzenaneradova7671]

If you don't have a double-sided tape, you can use a normal tape that is wide enough to extend a few cm from the foil edge.

[@dereton33]

Thanks for the tip.

Hahaha! Well here I am, back again - it started with halogen ovens, moved onto radiator valves and now I'm here looking at reflective foil - Is there anything this channel doesn't cover?

[@hughjass8430]

Single panel vs double radiators Alan. In a colder house, is there ever a reason not to go with doubles, even if the rooms aren't that big and singles technically cover the required BTU output?

[@dereton33]

I would always go with a double. The required BTU does not factor in this extreme cold weather. You can always turn it down, but a single rad running flat out can not be turned up.

[@hughjass8430]

@@dereton33 Thanks. Had 5 new rads fitted recently, was advised by company they were perfectly adequate but even before the cold snap, I didn't think they were up to it. Age/insulation level of house wasn't taken into account.

I hope this works but my brain doesn't compute. The only way the heat can go is up which it's already doing.

It will also go back into your wall.
