Warmer, cheaper homes: Radflek reflector sheets

22 October 2010 + 2

Radflek radiator reflectorAs someone with three radiators against external walls, I’ve become a great fan of the Radflek reflector sheets.

They are very easy to install – with little skill beyond the ability to use scissors required – and reflect heat back into your home rather than having it escape via the external wall.

The ease of installation appeals to my lack of DIY skills but also makes them suitable for use in rented property – giving even short-term tenants a practical extra insulation option beyond nagging their landlord to do better.

You can buy Radflek sheets from Amazon here.

P.S. If you do get some and need any more of the plastic supports, let me know as I’ve got three spare ones.

UPDATE: Here’s a video from Radlek which shows how easy the reflector sheets are to install:

    My wife installed them – haven’t made up my mind if they work but they can’t do any harm.
