PPR Plumbing Works as we prepare to start Plastering on ground floor internal Portion

Oga well done.
I just want to ask if this PPR pipe is made of copper.
Can it be run between roof and ceiling? Will it rust?

Thinking of running piping (from solar water heater and overhead tank) from roof through ceiling rather than down to ground and then up. This is to shorten the distance the hot water has to go through.

PPR pipe is plastic and not copper. Very thick plastic. It can be run anywhere as it difficult to break.

Henco to me has a Light edge over PPR, due to its flexibility, doesn't have joints in a lot of places, as a result doesn't require Elbows and Tees.

Joints are where leaks can many times come from

CAsting of Precast Parapet

Please, what's the difference between this Precast Parapet method and the common one with reinforcement bars?

The Precast parapet is Lighter in Weight, but Limited to Certain Designs

While the concrete One is heavier and also more expensive, but Not limited in designs as you can form A lot more with it

Do both still require reinforcement bars?
Because I noticed yours has concrete cast.
