Plastic ch plumbing
In an earlier contribution to this discussion,

you can use it but as Roger advised it looks terrible because it sags
with the heat if on a skirting board run. copper is the much better
option even though a bit more expensive.
I had to replace a whole line of pipes because it looked so bad and
saggy.
Although I didn't explicitly say so, I wouldn't use it anywhere where it
*shows* - but it's fine for threading through awkward places where getting a
straight run of copper in would be very difficult.
My comment about sagging was more to do with avoiding airlocks rather than
appearance. For a horizontal run under the floor, I would support it along
its full length on pieces of timber so that it *can't* sag.
