Storage heaters and wall lining

[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

you need foil faced expanded polystyrene lining to the wall immediately behind the radiator itself.

Thanks - is there a brand name for this product - or is it in DIY shops?
