Up to 50% of the heat from the back of a
radiator is used to heat the wall behind it. Only about 30% is used to heat the
room itself.
How heat is lost.
As the radiator
warms up, it heats the wall behind it. This heat is the transferred to the outside
of the wall where it is lost.

NOVITHERM® RadPanelfits behind the radiator.The
panel reduces the wasted heat by insulating the wall and keeping it virtually
cold. The heat that is saved either heats the air in the room, warming it faster,
or is retained in the system so the boiler fires less and uses less fuel.
The
profile of the panel improves convection behind the radiator, accelerating the
airflow and directing it away from the wall and into the room, distributing it
more evenly between the floor and ceiling.
The NOVITHERM® RadPanel comes
with full fitting instructions and strong, self-adhesive, double-sided tape for
secure fitting to the wall behind the radiator.
What this means
to you.
Up to 20% saving on your heating bill* Improve heat
distribution. Warmer rooms. No cold spots. Faster warm up times.
A reduction
in CO2 Emissions
(Which helps reduce the properties carbon footprint)
To calculate the total number required: Total number of radiators to be insulated
(square metre) and multiply this figure by 3.6.
*Savings and payback will
vary depending on the installation characteristics and external factors*
