When it comes to replacing the heating or sewer system, you are facing a choice of which pipe to choose so that the system is reliable, and installation available.
Steel pipes, as always, are most used. Their cheapness and strength are available to any consumer. However, the fragility of these pipes gives rise to search for other solutions. Copper pipes are quite effectively used in the water supply system, but the prices for them are quite high.
Not so long ago, pipe from polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and polyethylene began to be widely used in the building materials market. Such pipes have a number of advantages: do not corrode, have water -repellent properties, are durable, have lightweight and easy to install. However, with all the advantages, the purpose of their use should be distinguished. Thus, PVC pipes are more efficient to use for laying sewer systems, while plastic pipes are not recommended for the sewer system. And polypropylene pipes withstand high temperature. Therefore, they can be used in sewer systems, in hot and cold water supply systems, as well as for heating the floors.
Recently, metal -plastic pipes have also been widely used for heating systems, which have proven themselves as a fairly reliable and durable product.
