   I would suspend the sheets from the wall about 1/4" minimum and leave alone. Unless my thinking is wrong you'll get a natural convection air flow. This movement should transpire any moisture back into the room air provided the wall, if sheetrocked, underneath has at least a good coat of paint. 

   I'd be interested in anyone else's thought too , I'm thinking of a similiar project.

   Paul, I'm interested in your book, but it seems to me that posting the link here may be against site rules.  Just a cautionary note.

   Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a carpenter to build one.

   One more caution to metal aluminum or silver color: Protect the eyes of anyone in the area from reflections.

   Welding shine will sear your eyes without notice if you are where it reflects, won't notice until later and it is very painful. Our garage/shop is a metal building and two welding would cause problems from that.

   Of course, the one welding at that time has protection.

   Ruby, I vividly recall 34 years ago staring blankly at the side of a polished tank truck while something was being welded in the next bay.

   The "sand eyes" hit about 2 am and I stepped on the cat 3 times trying to find the eye cup!

   The best lessons are the hardest learned, aren't they?

   Thanks to both Jagwah and Paul!

   Firred out it is, but of course- mounted horizontally the corrugated would fit the space between the heater and window trim perfectly!

   Ah well, an excuse to finally get that Kett sheat metal cutter ;o)
