What are Heatkeeper Radiator Reflector Panels?
They are an inexpensive energy saving reflector panel that fit behind radiators, providing a fixed and permanent energy saving feature for your home.
How They Work?
Unlike the loose hanging flimsy versions, Heatkeepers radiator reflector panels work in three ways to save energy, money and improve the comfort and feel of your rooms.
Insulating the Wall
The moulded shape of the Heatkeeper Radiator Reflector panel creates an air space between the radiator and the wall surface creating a thermal barrier.
Reflective Surface
The highly reflective surface of the Heatkeeper panel acts as a radiant agent and reflects heat back into the radiator, which returns the water to the boiler at a higher temperature, therefore the heating system requires less energy to reheat the water in the boiler.
Saw Tooth Profile
The saw- tooth profile of the Heatkeeper Radiator Reflector Panels are designed to stimulate convection currents which improve heat circulation, helping to eliminate cold spots in the room.
What are the energy saving benefits?
Depending on the insulation features of the property (e.g. wall/loft insulation, double glazing), independent scientific studies show that HEATKEEPER® Panels can save as much as 20% heating costs where panels have been fitted to all the radiators in the home and will pay for themselves within the first year of fitting.

How are they installed?
Secure Taping the panels
HEATKEEPER® Reflector Panels have been specially designed to be easy to fit without removing radiator.The size and shape of the panel is designed to be suitable for the most common household radiators in use in the UK.
Cutting divisions and scissor lines have been incorporated into the panel design to make it easy to adapt to varying radiator dimensions.
Hanging the panels
For those hard to reach areas a NEW alternative “Easy-Fit” method for HEATKEEPER® Panels.
Simply hang HEATKEEPER® Panels from your radiator brackets, suitable for radiators that are hung close to the wall or have an overhanging window-sill.
How many to order?
HEATKEEPER® Reflector Panels are suitable for all sizes of radiator.
The dimensions of the panel are 580mm high x 450mm wide x8mm deep. The average radiator needs 2 to 2½ panels.
Simply multiply the number of radiators in your house by 2 or 2½ and choose the appropriate pack size (see below).
Pack Sizes available:
- 5-panel pack (2-3 average size radiators)
- 10-panel pack (4-5 average size radiators)
- 15-panel pack (6-8 average size radiators)
- 20-panel pack (8-10 average size radiators)
If you need more help please measure the height and width of your radiators and contact us for an estimate.
For those hard to reach areas a NEW alternative “Easy-Fit” method for HEATKEEPER® Panels. Simply hang HEATKEEPER® Panels from yourradiator brackets, suitable for radiators that are hung close to the wall or have an overhanging window-sill. This method uses DURAGRIP spines which fit securely along the top of the panel, enabling it to be hung from the radiator brackets.
In STEP 4, instead of applying the double-sided tape, clip the DURAGRIP spines to the top of the panel(s). They fit securely butcan be slid along the top of the panels for precise positioning. (If a secure grip is not obtained please see note below).
