Ideal ROK

Achieving a Fire Behaviour Classification of A1 according to EN13501-1, JUPITER Ideal ROK is the only underfloor heating panel to combine fire resistance, acoustic insulation and thermal insulation into one system.

Fire resistance built in

Traditionally, flooring grade insulation products have been manufactured from flammable polystyrene products. JUPITER’s 30 mm thick Ideal ROK heating panels are formed instead from fireproof natural stone wool. The panels have a sufficiently high compressive strength rating to be compatible with the majority of project applications when combined with one of our low thermal resistance load-bearing surfaces.

Inherently quiet

As well as being manufactured from a sustainable material the system also provides acoustic deadening qualities in one product where otherwise additional products or services would be required.

Clever touches

The Ideal ROK elements are finished with integrated aluminium heat diffuser plates with an omega-shaped pipe channel that tightly encapsulates the heating pipework to maximise heat output. To further reduce flammability and smoke in a fire, the aluminium heat diffuser plates are mechanically fixed, rather than adhered, to the Rockwool backing.

No compromise performance

As per the rest of the JUPITER Ideal range, Ideal ROK is delivered by default with our tightest 125 mm pipe centres. Ideal ROK is offered with an array of complementary panel types to assist with its installation, including header return panels (with and without aluminium), pre-routed flow and return panels and crossover panels to change from 125 mm pipe centres to 250 mm pipe centres in areas where less heat output is required.

* to EN 13501: 2007

Product Benefits:

Outstanding fire resistance, achieving the highest A1 rating to EN 13501.
Significant acoustic performance improvement an an underfloor heating system in a single eco-friendly material.
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 round 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 pnaels 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.

01
Install the perimeter insulation and support battens on a dry, flat and level substrate. Note: perimeter support battens are not supplied with every system.

02
Begin by laying header elements in a corner and follow the layout plan.

03
Continue installing main heating panels as per layout.

04
Fill unheated areas (under fixed furniture, kitchen cabinets etc.) with blank insulation panels. Additional support battens can be used to increase the strength of the system if required.

05
Use the preformed elements for flow and returns and corners.

06
Cut panels as required using a circular saw or jig saw between the aluminium plates. Never cut panels through pipe channel as this can cause damage to pipe.

07
Cut other 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 king. Tip: when cutting long, straight pipe runs make the channel wavy so that the pipe does not come back out.
