Radiator Panels not sticking to the walls

aeromint

Hi,

I have brought some reflective radiator panels, and the company have provided some double sided sticky tape. However, I am having difficulty
sticking the panels to the walls, perhaps this is because I am sticking onto wallpaper. Suggestions appreciated.

Thanking you advance.

Hi Aeromint. I had the same trouble earlier this year when I did ours. In the end someone on our local freecycle offered some carpet tape. This has seemed to do the trick.

I bought some of that heavy duty double sided sticky tape and they've never budged not in the two years they've been up.

Hi,

Our company, Joulesave, supplies radiator panels. The double-sided tape is usually effective for normal wall surfaces. When problems occur it is usually because the wall-surface is damp, or flaking, or if there is an uneven wallpaper covering.

In these circumstances we recommend using glue over the tape, i.e. on the flat channels on the panel which are in contact with the wall. We recommend Evostik Impact.

Hope this helps.

If these are just foam/foil reflective panels - drawing pins?

I put baking foil onto a piece of cardboard which I cut to hang off the mounting of the radiator, so don't need to stick it to the wall, the cardboard just rests on the mounts. good if you're in a rental property because you can't damage the wall that way.
