Everyday things like cardboard, aluminum foil, tape, or pushpins will help with this.

Take a piece of cardboard (it should be large enough to fit behind the radiator).

Wrap the cardboard in foil (the shiny side should be on the outside).

Next, we secure the panel obtained in this way to the radiator using tape or pushpins.

The foil will reflect thermal energy, “returning” it into the room, that is, it will not allow it to penetrate the walls.

And the cardboard will act as an additional insulating layer.

Thanks to this simple device, you will save on heating, keeping your home warm.

In addition to real savings, this method is also environmentally friendly.

The point is that recycled materials are used and energy consumption is reduced.
