Each year, consumers flock to find innovative new ways to keep their homes toasty in the cold winter months…

To help consumers succeed in transforming the energy-efficiency of their homes, retailers can take stock of essential insulation items to tackle the impact of the cold British winter. These products include everything from radiator reflectors to LED light bulbs and innovative SuperFOIL insulation items.

Although these are only small changes, they can make a big difference on the amount households pay for energy.

Radiator Reflectors

Radiator reflectors are an economical solution for homes, reducing heat loss from radiators by reflecting heat back into the room. Installed behind radiators, they successfully reflect over 95% of radiant energy away from the wall and into the living space, which reduces energy consumption massively.

SuperFOIL RadPack offers a comprehensive insulation solution, creating a selling point for retailers whilst ensuring consumers receive these essential insulation items with an affordable price-point. 

SuperFOIL Multifoil Insulation

Insulation is designed to keep the desired temperature of a room all year round, protecting against cold in winter. Although insulation products come in many forms, multifoils like SuperFOIL are changing the industry, providing high thermal performance at a low cost.

Made from two layers of heavy-duty reflective foil with an internal bubble structure, SuperFOIL is flexible, lightweight and suitable for use in a wide range of applications around the home and garden, reducing heat loss and boosting energy-efficiency.

SuperFOIL also has the benefit of containing no harmful fibres or irritants, so there is no need for protective clothing whilst handling.

SuperFOIL products can be used by DIYers and professionals alike, meaning both tradespeople and consumers will stock up on this product during winter months, boosting potential retail sales.

Whether you’re an independent retailer or a tradesperson, discover SuperFOIL and a range of other insulation and energy saving products at Stax Trade Centres today!

Extra Home Heating Essentials

As well as insulating the home to keep the heat in, every year consumers seek extra cosy essentials to keep energy costs low whilst maintaining their warmth – that’s where electric blankets and hot water bottles come in.

Hot water bottles are ever popular, offering instant warmth with the simple boil of a kettle. We have loads of cosy designs available for you to take stock of, including modern long hot water bottles which are proving to be a must-have item this winter. Meanwhile heated throws are stylish and snuggly, providing energy efficient warmth at the click of a remote-controlled button. Brands such as Bauer, Daewoo and Staywarm are guaranteed to be big sellers throughout the winter months.

It isn’t just warmth consumers are driven to save – it’s also money, as energy bills remain high again due to the ongoing increase in the cost of living.
