Copper was once the gold standard in every home. What happened?

Ever wondered why old homes have copper pipes but new builds don’t?🚰 For most of the last century, copper was the standard for home plumbing. Durable, corrosion-resistant, and naturally antimicrobial — it was simply how houses were built. So what changed? Not copper. Just the price tag. As copper costs climbed and cheaper, faster-to-install plastic (PEX) came along, builders made the switch. Convenience won. But copper never lost what made it special. The same properties that made it the gold standard in our walls are the reason it’s stood the test of time - from ancient civilisations to your grandparents’ kitchen. ✨ Would you go back to copper? #CopperCulture #CopperBenefits #CopperPipes #WaterQuality #HomeWellness WellnessJourney AyurvedicLiving ToxinFreeHome CleanLiving KitchenInspo HealthyHome DidYouKnow CopperWater NaturalLiving SustainableLiving WellnessTips
