Product Information
Full details
The Avilo Heat Reflective Radiator Foil is designed for homeowners and renters looking to improve heating efficiency by preventing thermal energy loss through exterior walls. This simple, silver-toned foil reflects heat back into your living space, effectively reducing energy waste and lowering heating costs; however, its effectiveness depends on the accuracy of your measurements and ensuring the foil remains completely concealed behind your radiator units.

FAQs
Does this work on all types of radiators?
It is designed for standard wall-mounted radiators. It is not suitable for floor-standing radiators that are not against a wall.
Does it need to be cleaned?
Generally no, as it stays hidden. If dust accumulates, a gentle wipe with a dry cloth is sufficient.
Can I use this on a radiator inside a bathroom?
Yes, it is suitable for domestic environments, provided the wall is properly prepared and dry.
Will this make my room overheat?
No, it simply optimizes the heat distribution you already have, making your existing system more efficient.
How long does the foil last?
The material is durable and should remain effective for many years, provided it is not subjected to physical damage or high moisture.
Troubleshooting
The foil edges are visible from the side of the radiator.
Carefully trim the edges of the foil slightly smaller so that it sits completely behind the radiator profile.
The foil is peeling off the wall.
Clean the wall surface thoroughly to remove dust and ensure a dry, grease-free surface before applying the adhesive.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improves radiator heating efficiency
- Easy to cut and fit for custom radiator dimensions
- Completely hidden once installed behind the radiator
- Cost-effective solution for reducing energy bills
Cons
- Requires precise measuring to avoid visible edges
- Requires careful cleaning of the wall surface for best adhesion
- Not suitable for radiators that are already flush against the wall
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first measure the height and width of your radiator, then trim the foil to size using standard scissors, ensuring it is slightly smaller than the radiator footprint to keep it hidden. Ensure the wall behind the radiator is clean and free of dust or debris for optimal adhesion.
Regarding compatibility, this foil works with most standard wall-mounted radiators. If your radiator is extremely close to the wall (less than 10mm gap), you may need to check that the thickness of the foil does not interfere with the mounting brackets. To care for the product, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as the reflective surface can be easily scratched or damaged.
