Radiator Booster Help loosing heat because of the curtains

[arasca]

Hi to all

I would like to know how to prevent loosing heat from the radiator, the curtains and the wall sucks all the heat and found a product called booster but that runs electric and is very small, is there any alternative products that will redirect the heat from the radiator without running cable around the radiator,

Thanks to you all in advance

Have curtains that don't cover the radiator up but let the heat into the room.
Otherwise the radiator is supposed to loose heat to the room that is its
function.

Tuck the curtains behind the rads.

You do not need any plumper

I should hope not.

Jesus Christ people will buy anything. £21 for a shelf that can't be used as a shelf

Not: This item is suitable only for the panel radiators

Holy sweet Mary's backside.

They even give you instructions on how to select the correct size!! How nice of them

It's going to be a long wait to get one as well, website says Expected Release Date 4th February 2014, that's almost a year away!!

And, apparently, they are quite noisy.

All of the 'fabric' of the room - walls, curtains, furniture etc - will need to be 'heated' to make a room feel warm. Everything in the room will act as a radiator, so any cold item will act as a 'cold radiator'.

Are the external walls insulated, the windows double glazed, what wall is the rad on, are the curtains over the rad????
