A simple trick to insulate your house in winter: 1 cheap thing is enough

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?

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  .
