Hi,
In my bedroom there are 4 central heating 8mm copper pipes that are currently nailed on top of the skirting board. I'm changing the skirting and trying to think of a better idea to lay them.
Basically, I can think of 2 ways to do this (see images).
Option 1. Is it safe to go like that? Also what cover should I use?
Option 2. Safer, to my opinion, however the skirting will be considerably thicker.
Any other ideas? Also do I need some kind of insulation between the carpet and the pipes in the second option?
Thanks in advance
