Jupiter Ideal EPS Heating Panel
IDEAL EPS Heating Panel
HEATING PANEL
The Ideal EPS heating panel is JUPITER’s original product and has been on the market for over 20 years in Europe. Throughout this period the panel has hardly changed at all – testament to its excellent design.

THE ORIGINAL HEATING PANEL
In continual manufacture since 1996, Ideal EPS heating panels are available in two variants, with pipe centres set at either 125 mm or 250 mm. The 125 mm panel is most commonly specified, but 250 mm panels may be used where heat output requirements are exceptionally low. The return header elements come with optional aluminium diffusion plates.
Ideal EPS panels are easily installed, following pipework layout plans supplied shortly after the point of order. The system simply requires a flat and level surface in common with all panel-based underfloor heating systems.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
-Ultra high compressive strength (240 kPa at 10% compression) EPS ensures floor will not sag or compress over time.
-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. -Aluminium spreader plates are integral to the panel and will not creak or squeak as inferior renditions of this product often do. -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.
-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. -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. -Has been supplied virtually unchanged for the last 25 years. -Exceeds the thermal resistance requirement of EN 1264 for floors over heated spaces – no additional insulation is required for upper floors.
DETAIL
IDEALPANEL SYSTEM
The JUPITER IDEAL EPS system is a truly engineered underfloor heating system manufactured from injection moulded EPS 035 DEO 240kPa expanded polystyrene. The system is 30mm thick providing an R value of 0.86m²K/W and is designed to accept the 16mm JUPITER multilayer PE/RT pipe. The heating system consists of two panel types: ‘Central Zone’ panels offer pipe centres of 250mm and Edge Zone panels offer 125mm centres. Both of these panel types are manufactured with pre-affixed 0.5mm thick aluminium diffuser plates to optimise heat output and ensure an even spread of heat where possible. The channel within the aluminium diffuser plates is shaped like the Greek letter Omega (Ω) but upside-down to provide better encapsulation the of pipe.
Central Zone panels are made up of 8 segments which can be easily snapped to size along the break points. Similarly the Edge Zone panels are made up of 16 individual segments that can be snapped off. Both panel types measure 1000mm x 500mm
HEADER PANELS
Header panels to return the pipe at the end of a run are supplied with or without aluminium diffuser plates and are available for both 250mm and 125mm centre systems. Unheated areas such as under kitchen cupboards, fitted furniture, baths and shower trays can be filled with similar, 30mm thick blank EPS insulation panels. Tailored pipe runs can be formed within these panels using a hot wire cutter if required
