Covering copper pipe - radsnaps?

[DGS]

I'd like to cover a new indoor pipe installation with something like radsnap
material (plastic or similar) rather than painting them. However, there doesn't seem to be anything on the market suitable for the bends in the pipes. Has anybody seen or used a product that covers pipes yet still allows easy access for maintenance?

They look naff. If you really hate copper pipes whats the problem with painting them?

Painting pipes does not allow easy maintenance should there be a problem in the future, particularly on soldered joints, hence my original request for a product that is available on the market that is suitable for both straight sections & bends.

Do you plan on repairing any future problems yourself?
If not whats the problem and get them painted as it will be your pipeworkers problem(by the way i hate working on painted pipe but its part of the job), if so the answer to your question is no there is nothing that looks remotely good or covers bends etc.

Brilliant - must try it.

And it takes all of 30 seconds to burn off paint. Would take longer to pull the radsnaps off.

Oh, they look ****e aswell.
