I've often wondered why, given the ability of a vacuum flask to keep stuff
hot all day, why something similar is not used on storage heater insulation.
Even when you close the vents they are cold by the end of a day. So
electronic vents and a thermos around the bricks is what we need.

Thanks for the advice. I found that the ceramic fibre board is expensive
to order since it is fragile and typically has to be delivered by pallet
or by courier. I found it cheaper to order some ceramic fibre blanket from
Vitcas
(https://shop.vitcas.com/ceramic-fibr...tion-mtr.html).
The blanket can be fixed to the steel panel/cover with a ceramic fibre
adhesive (https://shop.vitcas.com/ceramic-fibr...ve-310ml.html). Its
also possible to protect the blanket using a heat-resistant cloth
(https://shop.vitcas.com/silica84-ver...te-cloth.html). These products
are rated to temperatures above 1000 degrees C, which I've read is far
higher than the temperatures likely to be encountered in a storage heater.
For instance, my Dimplex heater elements can only reach 650 degrees C.
Obviously, heater temperatures should be far lower than this under normal
operation.
