One of the effects of copper is oxidation. On the one hand, a positive chemical effect because it forms a protective outer layer that prevents further corrosion. On the other hand, this oxidation entails costs at a later stage, for example due to poor operation, repairs or difficult maintenance.
At Interalu, we deliberately chose steel ceilings in combination with PE-RT pipes. Steel does not oxidise and remains a reliable product. In addition, it is fully circular as our steel ceilings are fully recyclable. By choosing PE-RT piping, we avoid copper piping, which incurs costs at a later stage.
