This is why you should stick a piece of aluminium foil behind your radiators

Aluminium foil

Want to amplify the effect of your radiator? We’ve got a very simple tip for you. All you need is a roll of aluminium foil. Roll out a piece of foil of the same length as your radiator and stick this to the back of your radiator with some masking tape. Repeat this process for all of your radiators. The heat from the radiator will be reflected by the aluminium foil. That means that instead of escaping through the walls, the warm air will be reflected back into the room. The trick is so effective that it feels as if you’ve simply turned on a second radiator in the room! When your home is heated more quickly, the thermostat turns off quicker as well (until it needs to start heating again). This means you’re also saving money. It’s a win-win situation!
