Hi, I just wanted to get peoples opinion on the usefulness of attaching radiator reflector panels to the wall behind the radiator. Is it worthwhile? Various websites I've come across mention that anything from 30 to 70% of heat generated by radiators goes directly into the wall. Doing a google search I have come across two types of radiator reflectors, a sort of foil;
and a more robust looking aluminium-type panel;

Can anyone recommend a particular type, are they easy to install (does the radiator have to be removed in order to attach the reflector to the wall), and do you know of any suppliers in Ireland?
Thanks,
Andyman
