Jupiter Ideal Eco Underfloor Heating
IDEAL ECO UNDERFLOOR HEATING
IDEAL ECO UNDERFLOOR HEATING
The JUPITER Ideal ECO panel is the only insulating underfloor heating panel made from an entirely natural recycled woodfibre.
As an environmentally friendly alternative to polystyrene, our 30 mm thick Ideal ECO system panels are made from fibrous wood waste instead. The panels have a combined compressive strength of 150 kPa and will not sag or compress over time as inferior panels do.
As with all of our heating panels, Ideal ECO is equipped with rigid aluminium heat diffuser plates with an omega-shaped pipe channel and are compatible with all types of floor finish.

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (Λ-VALUE)
0.039 W / mK
DESIGN
Separate header panels, available with or without aluminium heat diffusion plates, provide superior pipework layouts and insulation values by contrast to ‘all-in-one’ heating panels which attempt to incorporate these into their design.
RESISTANCE
Exceeds the thermal resistance requirement of EN 1264 for floors over heated spaces – no additional insulation is required for upper floors.

MATERIL
As the aluminium is a plate rather than a foil, it is able to sit in perfect contact with the pipe around the majority of its circumference by virtue of the cleverly designed and bevelled omega profile in the plates.

REMOVE
Removes the need for a resilient layer below the underfloor heating system.
INSTALLE
Our pipe clips robustly into these panels, this is simply not possible with inferior foil-faced panels where the pipe breaks the foil as it is installed.
RENDITIONS
Aluminium spreader plates are integral to the panel and will not creak or squeak as inferior renditions of this product often do.
OUTPUT
Rigid 0.5 mm thick aluminium heat diffusion plates ensures maximum heat output, even at the reduced flow temperatures heat pumps operate most efficiently at.
ACOUSTICS AND ECO CREDENTIALS IN ONE PRODUCT
In addition to being manufactured from a sustainable material, the system also provides acoustic deadening qualities in one product, removing the requirement for an additional resilient layer below the underfloor heating system that could otherwise complicate its installation. As a result of the panel’s comparatively high density, Ideal ECO contributes strongly towards acoustic performance required to meet Part-E regulations for a separating floor.
PERFORMANCE
Significant acoustic performance improvements and an underfloor heating system in a single eco-friendly material.
RECYCLED
High compressive strength (150 kPa at 10% compression) recycled woodfibre ensures floor will not sag or compress over time.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
SUPPORT
Install the perimeter insulation and support battens on a dry, flat and level substrate. Note: perimeter support battens are not necessary if our Screed Replacement Tile system is to be installed on top.
ELEMENT
Begin with header elements in a corner and follow the layout plan.
LAYING
Begin laying the aluminium clad Ideal ECO heating panels adjacent to the headers. Use blank ECO panels in unheated areas and to fill in small gaps as necessar
UNHEATED
Fill unheated areas (e.g. under fixed furniture, kitchen cabinets) with blank insulation panels. Additional support battens can be used to increase the strength of the system if required.
USE
To minimise the use of a router, use the pre-formed elements for flow and returns and corners.
CUT PANELS
Cut panels as required using a circular saw or jig saw between the aluminium plates. Never cut panels through the pipe channel as this will leave sharp edges that may damage the pipe.
CHANNELS
Cut additional required pipe channels with a hand router and 20 mm routing bit. Take care to keep custom pipe curves in line with preformed panels. Too tight a bend will cause the pipe to kink. Flow and return runs and awkward curves can be easily formed using a hot wire cutter. If long runs need to
INSTALLING PIPE
When installing pipe, form a large arc and press it home into the channel using your feet. Pipe bends within panels not equipped with aluminium should be formed by hand.
FITTING PIPE
Take care when fitting pipe around corners. Tip: pipe tends to lift up – gently remove and bend downwards before putting back in place.
CONNECT
Only connect pipe on straight runs never on corners.
