Has anyone really done a study to find out how much heat is held in by paint?
If you google it, the answers are back and forth on both sides. The only argument I found that made any sense was that radiators are painted black because black color radiates heat better. I have not seen any conclusive information that paint will affect heat soak. In theory, any applied surface on the tubes will have some marginal insulation effect. But paint is not considered an insulator or our homes would only have paint and not insulation. I think the jury is still out on this urban legend... |
