Thin white laminate should be available at any home improvement store, in the kitchen department — think laminate for counter tops. They sell the individual sheets of laminate for those who want to build their own countertops.

I would like to buy some thin white laminate that I could glue behind a vertical radiator - this would have the effect of reflecting heat and would obviate the need to paint behind the radiator when redecorating. Does anyone have any idea where I could source such a thing?

will reflective panels work on storage heaters, as i can feel heat the other side of the heaters that are on internal walls (brick) so i must be losing heat on the outside walls?

Thanks

The reflector is designed to avoid the very thing you mention - i.e. the wall behind the radiator is heated far less than if the reflector was not there. The reflector bounces the heat back into the room.

This seems like a great idea for cost effective energy savings. But I would be concerned about the high heat concentration so near a wall area. Wouldn’t the reflector tend to develop a hot surface? What would a fire inspector say about this, I wonder?
