Copper pipe

One feature of the plumbing in both 27 and 29 Chapman Place is the use of copper water pipes throughout.

I like copper because it requires the workmanship of a skilled tradesperson using 'old school' techniques. The material is 100% recyclable, so ZERO waste is produced during installation. All offcuts are recycled, no matter how small. It is not subject to attack by vermin. Google 'copper versus plastic' and decide which you would prefer.

Why have plastic pipe systems become the standard in most homes these days? First and foremost, COST. A plastic system is far cheaper to install than copper. It's back to the old time = money equation.
As a builder I need to sleep soundly at night which is why I decided to stick with copper.

The only downfall with copper is that you can hear the water running through it, and it is more prone to water hammer.  On the upside you know if you've left a tap running outside.

I hope the future owner of these houses enjoys the look, workmanship, and proven longevity of copper.
