The online description reveals that the product offers up to 95% heat reflection, with one foil sheet (measuring five metres by 0.6 metres) sufficient to install behind up to five standard-sized radiators, reports Wales Online.
One satisfied customer praised the SuperFOIL, stating, ‘This is a very simple but effective way to reduce heat loss and keep the rooms warm in winter. It is certainly good value for money’.
Another purchaser was so impressed with the product they bought for their mother that they felt obliged to share their experience, saying, “I didn’t think it would make a difference, but to my surprise, it made a HUGE difference. Her house is notoriously cold, even with the heating on.
“After fitting this insulation foil, (which was actually very quick and easy), the rooms are really warm now. If I didn’t have see through antique style radiators I’d get some myself. Definitely the best thing we’ve bought in an effort to warm up her icicle of a house”.
The manufacturer describes installation as straightforward with no special tools needed, simply measure the foil sheet against the radiator, cut to size with regular scissors including making slits in the sheet to accommodate the radiator brackets, slide behind the radiator and secure to the wall with the adhesive pads provided.
The manufacturer asserts that the SuperFOIL Radpack Radiator Insulation Reflective Foil is made with up to 40% recycled material and ‘complies with UK building regulations and meet EU regulations like CE’.
The adhesive pads provided have been the main source of customer complaints, with one customer stating, ‘Great item easy to install good value and a easy way to reduce heat loss through exterior walls, however let down by terrible sticky pads that aren’t fit for purpose. Just buy your own extra strength sticky tape when installing and you’ll have no problems’.
