How to insulate a radiator to heat your home better?

To make the most of the heat given off by the radiator, it is recommended to install a reflective panel on the back of the device using a protective adhesive film, also called insulating film, which allows maintaining an optimal temperature inside your home.  The insulating film improves the performance of the radiator by 5 to 10% and thus avoids energy losses  .

With this trick you can  save on your energy costs   while avoiding purchasing an additional heater.

How much does insulating film cost?

Insulation of a radiator

Installing an insulating film behind your radiator is more economical than purchasing a boiler. By the way, you can get an insulating film for less than €20. For the installation, you can hire an experienced craftsman or, better yet, do it yourself.

A few tips for insulating your radiator:

  • Before attaching insulation to your radiator, make sure it is turned off.
  • Measure the distance behind the device before purchasing the insulation film.
  • Once you have the film, cut it according to the dimensions you measured earlier.
  • Carefully cut the film and make sure there are no air bubbles before applying it.
  • Some aluminum foil insulation does not contain adhesive. In this case, use adhesive tape to secure it.
  • Once the film is in place, reattach the heater before turning it back on. This way your house will be  better insulated  .
