 Radflek has been certified for use as a CERT product.

As part of a global initiative to reduce CO² emissions the British government has put in place a Carbon Emission Reduction Target (CERT) scheme to reduce the carbon footprint of individual households within the UK. For more information on energy efficiency and CO² reduction visit the Energy Saving Trust and the Carbon Trust websites.

The BRE has reported that a sheet of Radflek will save up to 83 kWh of energy per annum.  Based on current energy prices¹ this equates to:

An annual saving of £40 per 10 pack of Radflek

A 10 pack of Radflek can save 89 kg CO² per annum

Radflek is 23% more efficient than Heatkeeper, the leading competitor.

Beware of copies!  Not all radiator packs have gone through the same rigorous testing that we put Radflek through, and often the energy saving claims they make cannot be supported.

Heat Reflecting Membrane specified at the Beijing Olympics

Apollo Energy Research was successful in having their Thermo-Foil® ES Heat Reflecting Membrane (HRM) specified in the roof and wall cavities of the Shooting Range at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The contract was secured with invaluable help from the Commercial Department of the British Embassy in Beijing. The function of Apollo's HRM will be to block radiant heat from the sun penetrating into the interior and to seal the buildings envelope to greatly reduce air leakage and infiltration of the outside humidity.

“The membrane has already proved itself”, Cohn Hawkes, Apollo’s MD explains, ‘Accommodation huts for site workers were experiencing high temperatures and excessive humidity the air conditioning units were working flat out for most of the day and night so we were asked to install Thermo-Foil® inside the huts. This reduced the requirement for air conditioning by more than half with the unit’s only coming into operation at the warmest parts of the day. I think It was this experience that proved to the Chinese engineers that our HRM worked and should be specified in the Shooting Range and other venues. The engineers involved in the design of the Shooting Range have calculated by installing and sealing the buildings envelope using Thermo-Foil® they expect to reduce the air-conditioning load by up to 50%”.
