Studies have shown that stainless steel pipes can often be the most economical decision over other materials, such as copper and cast iron. The benefits are numerous, and can influence both aesthetic and design decisions. Here are a few of the most beneficial aspects if you’re trying to decide on the best material for your next build.
Extended life
The lifespan of stainless steel pipes is approximately 50 years, whereas other materials will last around 30 and need replacing.
Environmental impact
Stainless steel pipes are among the most environmentally friendly, and the metal is 100% recyclable.
Pleasing presentation
The aesthetic of stainless steel piping means they can be incorporated into most contemporary architectural and interior designs without needing to be painted or hidden from sight.
Easy installation
Because heat isn’t needed to join stainless steel piping, there is no need for a hot work permit. Similarly, they are easy to install, and can be used for numerous applications, speeding up the installation and reducing price.
Stronger resistance to high flow rates
Stainless steel pipes are strong and can manage high flow rates, reducing leaks and the need for repetitive maintenance.
Corrosion resistance
Stainless steel pipes are one of the most resistant to corrosion, requiring less repair and better quality drinking water over time than their counterparts.
While copper or plastic may be cheaper in the short term, combining each of these factors equates to better value for money over a long-term period, so if it is durability and longevity with less maintenance you are after, stainless steel piping is the smarter option.
