Alape Bathroom Basins | Glassed Steel

Alape brings more than 100 years of manufacturing experience to the creation of each piece of bathroom design. Since pioneering glassed steel enamelling for basins in the 1920's, Alape have gone on to become a world leader in the development of this technology. Every sink in the Alape line is pressed individually from a seamless sheet of steel before being fired with a rich glass enamel glazing known as Ceramostahl. This advanced composite material delivers a deep, perfectly balanced finish. The final result is a truly superior product crafted to the highest level of German engineering precision. Durable and beautiful, Alape creates designs that will stand the test of time and be admired for many years to come.

Watts Radiant PEX-AL: Strength You Can Depend On

The RadiantPEX-AL Advantage
RadiantPEX-AL is a composite pipe engineered for radiant floor heating. It's proven, long lasting and maintenance-free. Installers like it because it's lightweight, durable and can be shaped to fit any jobsite. The aluminum layer protects boiler systems against corrosion and it has superior temperature and pressure ratings.

Built To Last
RadiantPEX-AL is manufactured to American Standard Testing Methods for composite radiant pipe and fittings (ASTM F-1281-05). Included are requirements and test methods for materials, workmanship, dimensions, environmental stress cracking, sustained hydrostatic pressure strength, thermo-cycling resistance and bend strength among other tests. RadiantPEX-AL meets or exceeds these specifications.

Features
Best of Both Worlds - Strength, memory and pressure rating of aluminum with the corrosion resistance of PEX, inside and out.

Bends To Your Will - Rigid enough to hold itself in place for straight, neat runs with enough flexibility to go around obstacles without additional fittings.

The Strong Silent Type - Doesn't expand as much as PEX, resulting in less noise in an underfloor application.
