Use aluminum foil on the radiator
This is a trick known to those who want to increase the efficiency of the radiator. All you need to do is place a piece of aluminum foil between the wall and the radiator. The foil reflects heat, prevents it from leaking and ensures that it is “sent” into the room.
Check radiators
Are they so hot you can’t touch them? Otherwise, they need to be cleaned and the air released. Also, look to see if any furniture is blocking it, preventing heat from spreading to the rest of the room. In this case, move the furniture to another location and free up space in front of the radiator.
Use curtains
On sunny days, open the curtains and let the sunlight enter the house and warm the corners. Instead, it’s best to keep them tightly closed at night, as curtains and other airtight window coverings will help keep the heat inside your home.
