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

Heat Reflection from Heatkeeper Radiator Reflecttor Panels

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Heatkeepers?

They are an inexpensive energy saving reflector panel that fit behind radiators, providing a fixed and permanent energy saving feature for your home.

Why shouldn’t I just use foil?

Unlike HEATKEEPER Energy Saving Radiator Panels, kitchen foil has no insulating benefit and it does not improve the heat distribution in the room.

How do they work?

The panels work in three ways to save energy, money and improve the comfort and feel of your rooms.

I’ve heard that louvered or saw-toothed panels are the best option.

Yes unlike the loose hanging flimsy versions, Heatkeeper panels work in three ways to insulate the wall, reflect the heat back to the boiler and cause a convection current to re-circulate the heat throughout the room.

Can Heatkeeper offcuts be recycled?

Yes – Heatkeepers are made of a metalized pvc, you will have to get in touch with your local authority and take their advice on their recycling policy.

What is the delivery policy?

We offer standard and next day delivery options, and we can deliver internationally, costs vary according to size, weight and delviery address – see our terms and conditions for more details or call us on 0191 415 1333.

How do I install Heatkeepers behind a radiator that is very close to the wall?

Use the new hanging method.

Are Heatkeeper panels easy to cut up?

Yes follow the instruction and cut along the marked dotted lines.

How many do I need for my radiators?

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

How big is each panel?

Each panel is 580mm high x 450mm wide x 8mm deep.

Can Heatkeepers be used behind electric or night storage radiators?

Yes As long as there is sufficient gap between the storage heater and the wall, the panels will work just as effectively as for standard central heating radiators. The minimum recommended gap is 15mm to achieve the optimum flow of convected air.

I have radiators that are wider than the panels-what do I do?

Just measure and use part of another panel.

I have a window sill / shelf close to the top of my radiators, can I still fit Heatkeepers?

Yes now with our alternative hanging method Heatkeepers^® can be used in those hard to reach areas such as under sills and with small gaps.

I have curved wall with radiators, will Heatkeepers work?

Yes ensure good fixing, use a radiator brush first and order Bison glue in accessorises for extra adhesion.

I have small floor standing radiators - can I use Heatkeepers on them?

Order our Mini Heatkeepers, specifically designed for small and floor standing radiators.
