The founders of the Copper Sustainability Partnership (CuSP), Lawton Tubes and Mueller Europe, have announced that all their copper products will now come with a 75-year warranty, effectively insuring them for life against manufacturing defects.
This 75-year warranty is part of the Copper Sustainability Partnership’s ongoing commitment to highlighting the strength of copper, with copper pipes claimed to have twice the life span of plastic equivalents. Copper is also an infinitely recyclable material that can be recovered and reused time again without any loss of quality.
Oliver Lawton, co-founder of the Copper Sustainability Partnership, comments: “Material choice in plumbing is not just a matter of installation convenience. Water pipes should be viewed through the lens of safety, performance, and durability. UK plumbing pipes need to perform reliably over many years, often under changing temperatures, variable pressure, and daily use. This is why this new warranty is in place.
“We believe and trust in copper piping as its proven, robust and resistant to many issues that affect its plastic equivalents, but if any manufacturing faults were to occur, we know that our customers have peace of mind that the issue will be resolved and recycle their old pipes to be used again.”
The new warranty is applicable for all plumbers and specifiers purchasing copper products from both manufacturers and covers any manufacturing defects.
