What Is The Best Material To Use For Plumbing Installations?

__________

Plumbing pipes for both residential and commercial buildings come in a wide variety of materials. Each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Before investing in a certain material, be sure to read our insightful section below…

Copper Pipes

Copper has been a widely used plumbing material since the 1960s and for good reason. It’s incredibly durable, not prone to leaks, doesn’t pollute water, is heat tolerant, is corrosion resistant and has a long lifespan. However, it is relatively expensive compared to other materials and copper isn’t the most environmentally friendly material to use.

Polyvinyl Chloride Piping (PVC)

PVC is by far the most commonly used pipe material in residential homes due to it’s versatility and relatively inexpensive cost. The material is also durable, non-conductive, rust & corrosion resistant, sustains high water pressure and is easy to install (no metalwork required).

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Piping (CPVC)

CPVC pipes are PVC with additional chlorine that can be used to carry hot water and is safe for drinking water. They are insulated to prevent energy loss, more flexible than copper, more fire resistant, non-conductive, more durable than PVC and is easy to install. However, they are more expensive than PVC, are not recyclable and pipes can split when frozen.

Cross-Linked Polyethylene Piping (PEX)

PEX is one of the most recent industry innovations in the plumbing world. PEX is an extremely flexible pipe that is similar to a hose. It can bend around edges and obstructions whilst not requiring glue due to the use of compression fittings in the piping connections. PEX has a higher upfront cost than PVC but requires minimal maintenance and is incredibly easy to install.
