    Has anyone heard of or used radiator reflectors? They go on back of the radiators to keep heat from excaping through the walls. they look like a metal sheet. Where can i get them?

    Try foil bubble if visual is not the issue; just staple to the wall. Awsome.

    Kitchen Cabnet or Home Depot

    I have seen people line the back of convector cabnets with tin foil.Reflective side out. Behind free standing cast irons I seen that styrofoam reflective panal used to rap houses for siding.. Sheet of stainless would be nice, keep it off the wall a little to prevent contact heat transfer..

    Should work as well as any. You might find that sheet mylar (available at craft stores) is easier to work with than aluminum foil.
