Dezeen showroom: Mepla by Swiss brand Geberit is a multilayer pipe system made from PE-RT and aluminium that can be used to deliver both drinking water and heating.
Mepla combines metal and plastic to take advantage of the best of both materials. It consists of an outer layer of second-generation polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT), a middle layer of aluminium and an inner layer of PE-RT to make it is stable yet bendable.
Using PE-RT and aluminium makes Mepla more corrosion-resistant than metal pipes, but more robust than plastic pipes. The multilayered Mepla can be used as one single system for both drinking water and heating supply.
Pipes come in sizes from 16 to 75 millimetres and Geberit has designed a selection of about 300 fittings, made from gunmetal and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), to make sure Mepla suits nearly all installation tasks.
Both fittings have protective caps so they can be hygienically stored.
The pipe system also remains leak-proof even when subjected to pressure that far exceeds the standard testing pressure of 1.1 megapascals.
