Insulating Garage Walls
6 Answers
I have an integrated garage. The walls adjoin my kitchen. In the winter the kitchen is very cold and I believe this to be becauase of this partition wall which is made of porous breeze blocks.
My question is can I insulate the garage walls with radiator reflector foil? the ones with bubble wrap on them?

Re porous breezeblocks, some of the recent type are used because they are supposed to have good thermal insulation properties. (Lord knows they're pretty useless compared with traditional bricks & mortar when it comes to fitting anything to them.)
Try checking your other kitchen walls and the roof space. Or even whether your heating system has a powerful enough radiator.
As for that foil stuff, I'm sure you could, I don't think it a great idea. You'd have a kitchen with a reflective yet easily damaged surface. (And not sure if the steamy atmosphere would have a good affect.)

I think your previous post and the replies it received are still valid.

Radiator reflective foil isn't going to adhere to breezeblock very well and is only about 1/2" thick. Too much effort for poor thermal returns. There is also the added fire/smoke risk from the bubble wrap.
