Storage heaters and wall linings

[BillBrum]

Hi all

I am moving some 4 year old Dimplex storage heaters and notice how they have destroyed the plaster on the stud walls behind them, where the skimmed plaster has cracked all over. When I put them back on the walls, I think I should put some sort of insulated lining behind them, but not sure what to use.

Any suggestions?

Regards

that is one of the problems with storage heaters there are "heat reflective pads looks like Bacofoil dont know how effective it would be
When refixing remember n find stud as the heater weight will pull out Worms ect from the plaster board

Yep it makes good sense to fit this type of reflective pad whetter it is a storage heater or a CH radiator I fitted this about 20 years ago and it work also if you are woundering how I fitted it simple took some tacks or drawing pins and cut the padded foil smaller than the radiator
