Hi,
We are fitting an external thermostatic shower valve mixer and need to run hot and cold up the wall to the mixer. We have been told by 1 plumber to build a partition stud wall in front whereas 5 other plumbers all say to chisel a route through the concrete wall and lag the pipes.
We much prefer the channel a route method as a stud partition just to house pipes will look daft.
My question is what type of pipe and lagging should I use for this? 15mm copper? And do I use that thin foil stuff to lag or something else?
Cheers!
