Yes.

Years ago in my damp basement flat. I put it behind 3 rads which were on exterior walls so to speak. Worked very well.

Also I use it in my tokay room. I have it behind all my vivs on the wall. It helps maintain a good ambient temp. So it means I don't have to have my heating or the viv lights on as much.

Used this or similar too, it does seem effective and worth it imo.

Meant to reflect the lost heat from the back of the radiator effectively going into the wall (lost heat) and transfers it outwards which is meant to save on heating bills. Thanks for the advice guys
