Ideal STRAW

If there was to be a holy grail for an underfloor heating panel, the same criteria would apply as for any construction product: it would need to be sustainably sourced, carbon neutral, not derived from fossil fuels and environmentally friendly.

The answer

JUPITER finally came across the answer in a natural, straw-based insulation panel. Manufactured by a small company in Europe we have successfully taken the core insulation panels, routed the pipe channels, and mechanically fixed the aluminium heat diffusion plates

The result is the first, truly sustainably manufactured, carbon neutral underfloor heating panel.

* to EN 13501: 2007

Product Benefits:

JUPITER Ideal STRAW is formed from high compressive strength (150 kPa at 10% compression) processed straw fibres that which ensure the 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.
Aluminium is applied to the panels using a patented mechanical fixing method, this removes any contribution to smoke in a fire that would otherwise be present with an adhesive, and makes recycling Ideal STRAW at the end of its life very simple.
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 panels where the pipe breaks the foil as it 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.
