I had originally specified copper pipework for my Mum's house refurb, as I thought this would be superior, but my previous experience has been primarily with non-domestic projects and I'm a bit out of date too.
The plumber advises he ldoes ike copper, but it will be extra cost and an extra week's labour to use copper rather than plastic. The plastic product he says he's use is 'Hep2' (which I assume is same as Hep2o). He says he can mix between the two types if necessary, but I'm not sure if that would be best practice, also whether earth bonding gets complicated with changing between.
Which is the better product? Is it worth paying the extra for the copper? Is it generally advisable to mix between the two materials? Also, Is one more environmentally sustainable that the other?
Thanks
