The winter is too cold, the heat power company saves as a result we often morznem in the cold. Someone dress warmly, and some use more heatersWhich do not contribute to saving our money. However, there is an effective way to get in the house was warm, and the costs were small. This thermally screen behind heating radiator.
The design of heat-reflecting screen
Thermally reflective structure is made of a material with a rather small thermal conductivity levels: Penofol, folgoplast etc. Heat-reflecting design consists of heater and foiling layer, which acts as a reflector. For greater efficiency it is recommended to treat the ends of metallic duct tape. In some screens, instead of the foil used metal spraying, but it does not give the desired effect.
Simply reflects the screen for radiator Heating can be made independently of a piece plywood of suitable size is pasted on it the foil. Also some use for this purpose a sheet of galvanized steel. It should be borne in mind that between heating battery and the screen to be a good convection space with a width less than 30 mm.
The advantages of using heat reflecting structure
In homes with central heating with a special screen, of course, difficult to achieve a significant increase in temperature, but at 2 ° C increase is real, and in winter it is quite palpable difference. When installing the heat reflecting design should adhere to the following rules:
- insulating layer should be not less than 5 mm;
- necessary that the reflective layer has been rotated in the direction batteries;
- heat-reflecting design should be more than radiator.
Display installs easily and quickly
Heat-reflective structure can be easily installed thanks to the special self-adhesive layer on the adhesive side of the screen.
