What is Radiator Shield Insulation?
1. Without Radiator Shield Insulation
– 50% of your radiators heat is directed at your wall
With half of the heat emitted from a radiator being directed at a wall, up to 25% of this heat can travel to the outside and become completely lost.
2. With a Radiator Shield Insulation
– 98% of your radiators heat now stays in your house
With radiator shields made from reflective foil insulation material, 48% of the heat previously heating your wall is not reflected back into the room and only 2% of your radiators heat is lost outside instead of 25%.
