The heat shield behind the radiator will increase the temperature in the apartment by 1-2 degrees

Modern specialists recommend to enhance the efficiency of energy use, set in the apartments and in private homes the original screens, which are placed behind the radiators. This allows efficient use of heat in homes and to raise the temperature in the apartment by 1-2 degrees. Please note that batteries are placed under the Windows, so often part of the heat goes into heating the external wall panel of the house. The heat intended for heating of residential premises used for other purposes. In order to avoid this, experts suggest, between the radiator and the wall to place a heat reflective screen. It is attached directly to the wall using either special adhesives or dowels, or by using the original grids.



The screen consists of thermal insulation layer and aluminum foil. The thickness of the thermal insulation material may be from 3 mm to 6 mm. At the present time often use alufa, heat insulation material is laid, polyethylene foam roll, or foam.How to make reflective screen?

First. It is necessary to make measurements and to determine the number of required material, given the fact that the screen size should be slightly bigger than the dimensions.

Second. In any hardware store you need to purchase the calculated number of insulator. The thicker the material, the more expensive it is. Universal consider an insulator with a thickness of 3-5 mm. Popular penopropilen foil in rolls. He's got the optimal ratio of price and quality.

Third. Cut out the screens under each radiator separately.

Fourth. Fix the screen so that the distance between the screen and the battery was at least 3 cm below the fins do not touch the foil. The screen with glue or dowels to attach directly to the wall. Experts recommend to mount the screen on a grate, and the grate set at a small distance from the wall. This technique allows you to create additional layer of air between the screen and the wall, and means to increase the energy efficiency of the screen.

The nuances of the installation

It is important that the working surface was smooth. For the screen you want to use only the aluminum foil, she is the highest reflection of heat. Real foil does not melt when burning.
