Effect of Radiator Foil
Radiator Foil stops unnecessary heat loss from radiators with an effect of no less than 95%. As a result, the radiator's can be used in a much more efficient manner, to heat the room. Even with the foil placed at the radiator, the air behind it is still heated, thus allowing for a warm air flow. Consequently thanks to the Radiator Foil less energy is now needed to achieve the same temperature in the room. While the effect of mounting Radiator foil onto the wall is almost the same this will have several drawbacks. To fin out more about these please read the difference between placing Radiator Foil on the wall vs. on the radiator.
The effectiveness of TONZON Radiator Foil is vividly demonstrated in the thermal images provided. Initially, the wall behind the radiator reaches temperatures of approximately 30 degrees Celsius, indicating substantial heat loss. This occurs even if the wall is insulated, as significant amounts of heat escape to the outside.
However, upon installing TONZON Radiator Foil, this scenario dramatically changes. The foil effectively blocks the heat from radiating through the wall. Subsequent thermal imaging reveals that the wall temperature drops to around 20 degrees Celsius—aligning with the ambient room temperature and virtually eliminating any unnecessary heat loss.
This direct application of TONZON Radiator Foil not only optimises your heating efficiency but also contributes to a noticeable reduction in energy consumption, making it an essential upgrade for any eco-conscious household.
Why Choose TONZON Radiator Foil for Your Home Heating?
Milieu Centraal estimates that using TONZON Radiator Foil can save approximately 10 cubic metres of gas per square metre annually. Such savings are significant even for homes with well-insulated walls, making TONZON Radiator Foil a wise investment due to its cost-effectiveness. Recognised as one of the most climate-efficient innovations on the market, the energy used in the production, raw materials, and transportation of our Radiator Foil is minimal. This energy expenditure is quickly recuperated through the reduced energy consumption of your central heating system, typically over just a few winter days.

The 50-centimetre-wide radiator foil can be used to insulate normal radiators. De luxe radiator foil is thicker, and therefore more expensive. There are no differences in quality. De luxe foil can be used when the foil remains in view and a more attractive surface is desired. This foil is also used for blinds, to reflect the sun’s rays back outside, as short-wave radiation, so that no heat builds up in the interior.
Yes! If the central heating system has been installed first and insulation measures have only been taken later, most radiators will have overcapacity. Convector ribs can then be ignored and the radiator back can be completely covered with the foil. Should the radiator still give off too little heat, the following solution can be applied. Stretch the foil from left to right over the ribs, leaving the vertical channels open-ended. As the top of the radiator is always the warmest, it is advisable to still apply a strip of foil to the remaining part of the radiator, at the top. Lagging foil can also be used for this purpose.

TONZON Radiator Foil is white on one side and silver on the other. It is often used for interior sun protection, but can also be applied to the back of the radiator. The white side then faces inside and the silver side faces the wall. This foil can also be used for radiators that face windows and is also available entirely in silver.

Yes! An underfloor convector can be made more effective by improving insulation, both in the inside of the underfloor convector and on the outside, from the crawl space. The outside of the underfloor convector can be insulated in the crawl space using TONZON thermos cushions, in the same way as a bathtub. The inside of the underfloor convector can be lined with TONZON radiator foil. The underfloor convector should only be heating air, not its own surfaces. If you do not want the radiator foil to be visible from inside the room, only insulate the areas inside the underfloor convector that cannot be seen from the room.
