Hi everyone,
I`m redocorating the house, and have damaged some reflective material
while removing it from behind a radiator. It`s a foam type material
with a foil covering on one side, to reflect heat from the wall. IIRC when
it was first put there it did make a difference to the
temperature in the room, so i`d like to replace it. Any ideas for a
cheap source of this stuff?
Thanks in advance for your help!


You need to buy a roll of this.

It's foam-backed foil, which you stick on the wall with heavy-duty wallpaper
paste. You may also be able to get it from some of the sheds and/or plumbers
merchants.


Course your only doing this on external walls with rads on aren't
you;?...
