WANT TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PIPES?

Professionals usually have their preferences for which type of pipes they use for different applications. However, if you are looking for different piping materials to use for your water supply, we break down the general differences between our water supply pipes.

 

  • POLYBUTYLENE (PB)

Ideal piping material for the transfer of hot and cold liquids inside the home, with excellent resistance to creep and extremely high strength (high yield strength, high impact strength, high tear strength, high puncture resistance). Exceptional resistance to environmental stress cracking, with no corrosion or scale build-up. Also provides low noise transmission.

 

  • CROSSLINKED POLYETHYLENE (PEX)

Being a crosslinked material gives PEX enhanced properties, such as greater long-term stability against internal pressure with high temperatures, resistance to slow crack growth, and reduced creep (material flow) under compressive loads at fitting connections. It’s ideal for hot water systems, and with the ability to bend the pipe around corners, fewer elbows and fittings are required, speeding up installation.

 

  • POLYETHYLENE OF RAISED TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE (PERT)

With flexible and lightweight characteristics, installation is fast and efficient with minimal maintenance required, making it an ideal system for residential heating, commercial heating, and snow melting applications. It’s corrosion resistant, so a safe piping for potable water and long-term reliability. PERT uses the same fast and reliable connection systems that are used for PEX.

 


Wondering how sustainable plastic pipes are?

Plastic has a bad reputation these days. However, the use of plastic for plumbing installations in and around buildings can be very beneficial not just for the user, but also for the environment, especially when compared to other materials.

Lower carbon footprint throughout life cycle

Compared to metal pipes, plastic pipes are a preferred alternative when considering the products’ energy consumption and carbon footprint, from manufacturing to installation and beyond. When thinking about environmental implications, consideration needs to go further than CO2 emissions from production. We need to include all phases of the lifecycle.

100-year service life

Plastic piping systems are a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice, especially when considering their extremely long service life. With superior resistance to corrosion and abrasion, excellent joint performance and tightness, many plastic pipes have an estimated service life of at least 100 years. 

100% Recyclable

Our plastic pipes are 100% recyclable, and some can even be recycled several times, re-entering the manufacturing process as quality assured recycled plastic. Every year, we increase the ratio of recycled plastics within our production lines, while ensuring the high product quality our clients are used to receiving from us.

Choose safe and certified water pipes

National and international production and material standards ensure that you can rely on a clearly defined level of hygienic safety and product quality. A professional plumber or plumbing company will always make sure to exclusively use certified products. Pipelife plumbing systems such as our Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Lay’, PVC, PP and PE pipes, all comply with strict national and international quality standards, providing a hygienically safe distribution of domestic and heating water.
