You've got a winter coat, now buy your radiators one as well (Image: Amazon)
As winter temperatures plummet, many of us are looking for ways to keep our homes cosy and warm, as well as investing in portable heating solutions like electric throws and fleece hoodies. However, if you do decide to crank up your heating, there's an ingenious method to maximise your radiators' heat output that has left customers raving about its 'simple but effective' nature.
You may have splurged on a heavy-duty winter coat to stave off the cold, but have you considered giving your radiators a similar treatment? The SuperFOIL Radpack Radiator Insulation Reflective Foil might not be the most glamorous item on Amazon, but according to its 4,486 five-star reviews, it could be one of the most practical.
Currently, it's discounted to £22, down from the usual £23.99. According to the online description, this product can reflect up to 95% of heat, and a single foil sheet, measuring five metres by 0.6 metres, is sufficient to install behind up to five standard-sized radiators, reports Wales Online.
More than 4,400 customers have rated the radiator insulation five-stars (Image: Amazon)
One satisfied customer praised the SuperFOIL Radpack Radiator Insulation Reflective Foil, writing: "This is a very simple but effective way to reduce heat loss and keep the rooms warm in winter. It is certainly good value for money."
Another purchaser was so impressed with the product they bought for their mother and felt obliged to share their experience: "I didn't think it would make a difference, but to my surprise, it made a huge difference. Her house is notoriously cold, even with the heating on. After fitting this insulation foil, (which was actually very quick and easy), the rooms are really warm now. If I didn't have see through antique style radiators I'd get some myself. Definitely the best thing we've bought in an effort to warm up her icicle of a house."
The manufacturer describes installation as straightforward, requiring no special tools – simply measure the foil sheet against the radiator, cut to size with regular scissors including making slits in the sheet to accommodate the radiator brackets, slide behind the radiator and secure to the wall with the adhesive pads provided. The manufacturer says the SuperFOIL Radpack Radiator Insulation Reflective Foil is made with up to 40% recycled material and 'complies with UK building regulations and meet EU regulations like CE'.

However, the adhesive pads provided have attracted some complaints, with one customer writing: "Great item, easy to install, good value and an easy way to reduce heat loss through exterior walls, however let down by terrible sticky pads that aren't fit for purpose. Just buy your own extra strength sticky tape when installing and you'll have no problems."
Other options for keeping your home warm include the Bush 2kW Convector Heater, currently on sale at Argos for £19.20, down from £24.00, or the Dreamland IntelliHeat Velvet Plush Heated Throw, available at Dunelm for £69.
