Jupiter ‘Ideal Eco’
Underfloor heating system
‘System ‘Ideal Eco’ is the only ecologoical under floor heating system in the world. It is made from 30 mm thick, high density, wood fibre panels with integrated aluminium diffusion plates. As with the polystyrene IDEAL system, the panels come in pre-formed sizes which allow for easy installation on site.
In total there are 8 different types of heating panels and are laid according to plan. The density of the insulation panels provides sound insulation for both airborne and foot fall sound. No other dry UFH system has this capability and makes the ‘Ideal Eco’ system particularly useful on upper floor constructions.’
