Radwraps have launched its new glitter range of Radwraps radiator covers.

Radwraps covers are magnetic and are proven to be 118% more efficient at reducing heat consumption than their wooden counterparts. Depending on the customer's wishes, they can be used for that sole reason, or they can provide a dual purpose by livening up a room, whether it be blending in with the wallpaper or displaying a striking design, such as a colourful pattern or a photograph.

Now, the new glitter range of Radwraps covers will add even more colour and vibrancy, and the plethora of sparkles will ensure that what was once a regular household item, with one of these covers, can be the most eye-catching feature of any lounge or bedroom. The sparkles and sequin-effects ensure that these covers add some glitz and glamour to a room, whilst also saving energy. They are also available in a range of colours, with pink being a favourite so far.

James Maddocks, director at Radwraps, commented: “Due to huge interest in glitter and massive demand from our customers, we had to develop a glitter range. We went back to the drawing board, and we designed a Radwrap range to sparkle and marvel at the same time, using the highest quality 3D materials coupled with our specially-formulated magnetic sheet, and so we now have the glitter range.”

The new glitter covers add an additional layer to Radwraps' feature set, and continue what has been another very successful year for the Birkdale-based business, which has also entered into the Benelux market and has plans for further future expansion across the continent.

Radwraps goes Dutch and launches new website for Benelux market

Radwraps have recently announced the launch of a new Dutch website aimed at the Benelux market.

The company, based in Birkdale on Merseyside, have been keen to expand their business into new international territories for a long time, and after many product tests and strong positive feedback from customers overseas, Radwraps have taken their biggest step yet to accommodate this region with the introduction of the Dutch language-speaking website.

Huge growth for both the business and its product line are planned as a result of this move, which represents the organisation's first dip into the European market. In addition, the site is set to be the first of many as Radwraps begins its march across the whole of Europe.

The website uses the Dutch language, so its primary customer base will be the Netherlands, but the site and the products on offer to this section of the continent will also cover Belgium and Luxembourg, allowing the company to branch out further in the short-term.

Although the team are very excited at this huge milestone in the company's history, directors James and John Maddocks would like to stress that their organisation will remain at its base in Birkdale, using local employment and keeping the central hub of the business in the Liverpool City Region. The announcement of the Dutch website represents an expansion for the business rather than an operational move to the Benelux area.

Radwraps provides a range of radiator covers which can be fitted within seconds and brighten up a room, as well as blending in with wallpaper. They also act as a safe method of preventing burns, as they cover the hot surfaces of the radiator framework.

Having operating for more than three years following many years of further research and development, this news takes Radwraps to a new level, as the business finds itself now entering the European market for the first time, with high customer demand and keen interest from corporate partners already established.

James Maddocks commented on the organisation's big step into Benelux: “Our expansion into the Benelux regions and the Dutch site has been the result of two years of development and research into the market, and finding our ideal partners in this region which has been very successful. We are extremely excited about this new venture and we can’t wait to get going on the first of many European ventures. The future’s bright.”

Sander Ju, one of Radwraps' partners based in the Netherlands, added: “We are extremely excited to bring Radwraps to the Benelux region. Early on, we identified Radwraps to be a fantastic product for our region, and we are thoroughly looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship.”

So, if you are visiting Holland, Belgium or Luxembourg in the near future and you happen to see a striking radiator cover, there's an excellent chance that it has been supplied from Radwraps thanks to its new European expansion!

Radwraps are 118% more efficient

Recent research by Liverpool John Moores University has found that using a Radwraps radiator cover instead of a wooden cover could improve the efficiency of the radiator by up to 118%, more than double the wooden cover efficiency, thus having a significant impact on heating bills.

Radwraps provides a range of radiator covers which can be fitted within seconds and brighten up a room, as well as blending in with wallpaper. In addition, they act as a safe method of preventing burns, as they cover the hot surfaces of the radiator framework.

And thanks to this study, held in conjunction with LJMU and funded via the European Regional Development Fund, it has now been proven how effective they are in reducing heat consumption.

With the assistance of Jacqueline Gilroy at Liverpool Vision, Radwraps approached the Low Carbon Hub at LJMU with the idea of holding simulations using its decorative radiator covers to determine how big of a difference their products make. To do so, a domestic central heating system was created whereby the tests could be conducted in specific and fair conditions. This included keeping the external room temperature at 20ºC, and using double panel radiators with a length and width of 600mm.

The Radwraps team wanted to get a heat comparison between radiators that were using a Radwrap cover and a wooden cover. The results showed that, when using a Radwrap, the efficiency of the radiator heating system can reach up to 68%, whereas for a wooden cover, it could only reach 31% for a certain water flow rate, far outweighing the predictions made beforehand.

James Maddocks, director at Radwraps, commented: “This figure is huge, something we could have only imagined when we started, and it could have major implications towards lowering our carbon emissions.”

And given the outcome of the study, James has calculated that the country could make a massive financial saving by using Radwraps, along with a potential saving of over £1 billion in Europe as a whole:

“If every home in the UK which has wooden covers fitted were to replace one of them with a Radwrap, the country could save up to £75 million a year in energy costs. And if every home in Europe did the same thing, the result would be a huge saving of up to £1.5 billion in energy costs.”

Radwraps have been operating for almost three years after many years of research and development, and they are growing in prominence as more and more people discover the benefits of its radiator covers, both from the savings in energy output (the reduction of heat output) and the opportunity to make the radiators look fantastic and aesthetically pleasing, to the point of perhaps becoming a focal point in a home environment.

James added: “Radwraps are already being utilised in nurseries, schools, nursing homes and houses in general across the UK as we speak. Savings are being made and emissions are being cut, which are helping to lower our carbon emissions for this generation and for generations to come, not to mention that they look amazing with any image or design.”
