Does a reflective film make sense for the radiator?

Heat optimization of the radiator with a reflective foil 

• If the radiator is attached to an outside wall, it loses heat to the house wall and this releases the heat to the outside. This is quite unproductive as you want to heat your living space and not the outside air.
• A reflective film now reflects the heat emitted back into the room during heating. So there is only a small loss of heat to the outside.
• Even cold is not conducted from the outer wall through the reflective film inwards.
• The sensible attachment of a reflective film behind the radiator also saves you energy costs, as the heat stays where it is needed.
• A simple comparison would be a thermos that keeps warm things warm and cold things cold. This is also how a reflective film behind the radiator works, it insulates.

Radiator reflective tape - what you should consider when buying

The energy costs rise and rise. A radiator reflective tape can be used ...

Attach the reflective film sensibly

1. Clean the area behind the radiator e.g. B. with a long broom.
2. If you have a roll of film, cut off the piece to be glued and let it lie out a little. This way it doesn't curl up again when you glue it on.
3. When cutting, also pay attention to the fastenings of the radiators.
4. Now coat the back of the film with the appropriate adhesive (in the hardware store) z. B. with a wallpaper brush.
5. Now carefully pull the reflective film behind the radiator and then press it against the wall. It is also useful to press the surface more often with a broomstick or something similar. Top to bottom and right to left, etc.

Even with daily heating you will notice how optimally you can now use the heat. With your next heating bill you will see the result of the sensible attachment of this reflective film.
