Reflecting cold? That's an interesting concept.

Reminds me. Under the lounge window we have a radiator about 8 feet
long with a solid 9 inch block wall behind it. Could do with some
reflective insulating stuff behind it.


I need some as well, but I can't find any that is thin enough to
slip back there. It's either too thick and won't fit, or comes in a
roll from the kitchen dept. of Morrisons. Maybe I need to start
glueing foil to cardboard.


You want the version that comes in squares about 60cm on a side and
2mm thick. There is a roll version about 1mm thick that is not as
good, It is surprisingly effective used on outside walls behind
radiators.

It should be in season now next to rockwool and other insulation in
B&Q/Wickes. Obvious keywords should get it.


Thanks! I looked a few weeks ago, and did not see that on the
manufacturers' websites. Maybe it's a seasonal thing.
Thanks again.
