Foil Bubble Wrap to back of hot press?

ravendude · 2013-09-26 16:10:03

Hi, We have a pretty large hot press in a dormer area of the house. It backs to the outside of the dormer, - so on to the knee wall and sloped ceiling. Is there much in the way of benefit of covering the back of the hot press (again - the knee wall and ceiling slope part) in foil bubble wrap insulation? - or is it a waste…

Hi,

We have a pretty large hot press in a dormer area of the house. It backs to the outside of the dormer, - so on to the knee wall and sloped ceiling.

Is there much in the way of benefit of covering the back of the hot press (again - the knee wall and ceiling slope part) in foil bubble wrap insulation? - or is it a waste of time.

I'm aware the foil part is really a radiant barrier and the bubble wrap provides limited R value (R-1 I believe), - but how much of the hot press heat would be radiant? Is the exercise a waste of time and money (30 euro approx) ?

Thanks...
