Wall Heating
Wall Heating
The idea of installing radiant heating on walls and ceilings is not a new one, in fact ceiling heating systems were quite common many years ago. The problem previously was that the lack of insulation within the typical building envelope required these systems to run at very high temperatures to adequately offset the heat losses. This resulted in rooms feeling very uncomfortable. As progressively stricter insulation regulations have been introduced, heat output requirements have waned the concept of using an entire wall for heating has now become viable.
System VERTICAL
With heat pump technology now able to provide water for both heating and cooling, using a wall or ceiling for heating in the winter, and cooling in the summer, is possible.
Our wall heating solution, JUPITER System VERTICAL, is a lightweight radiant heating system designed to be fixed to walls as either the sole heat emitter in a room or to provide supplementary heat to an underfloor heating system. Weighing approximately 3 kg / m² the system does not impose significant load on the walls and can be finished with plasterboard or gypsum fibre boards. System VERTICAL can either be controlled separately by connecting directly to a manifold or as part of the underfloor heating system.
Cooling
When our systems are used in conjunction with a reversible heat pump for cooling, output is often limited as a result of needing to prevent condensation risk.
System VERTICAL is ideal for bolstering cooling performance as it provides extra surface surface area where flow temperature can not be dropped any further, similar to our ceiling cooling.

Installation Guide
Heating elements can be fixed to walls using PU rapid installation foam. Alternatively elements can be fixed with screws.
01
Begin installing according to plans at room edge.
02
Install elements horizontally and ensure that warm flow into the system begins at the bottom.
03
Snap panels to size.
04
Areas around edges can be filled in using blank insulation.
05
Bring the return water feed back down to connection point using individual strips of 125 mm or 250 mm pipe centre panels.
06
Specific pipe channels can be formed using the hot wire cutter. Ensure that when forming bends that the curvature is not too tight.
07
Clip the pipes into the channels.
08
If pipe work needs to be joined, always connect on straight runs and note in pipe bends. Finish with 12.5 mm plaster boards. Joins between boards should be filled with flexible filler to allow some expansion / contraction movement.
