Week 28, Day 4

Partition wall between Plant Room and double-height Master Bedroom

Example of hot and cold water pipework

The hot water pipework to basins is 12mm Uponor MLCP with black Armaflex insulation. The aluminium layer in the MLCP sandwich means these pipes tend to stay where they’re bent to – hence the ends tend to be straight rather than curly. The cold water pipework is  standard 15mm PEX with grey Climaflex insulation; no aluminium layer.
