This could be the answer to my prayers. How to get the hot, cold and circulating water across the house without cutting anymore holes in the joists. I thin this product - although expensive, would enable the water to be transported under the UFH, limecrete and foamed glass aggregate across the kitchen without making the cold water warm and keeping the hot water hot. Has anyone used this?

There's about 3 or 4mm between the hot and cold pipes. In any circumstances that means heat exchange between the two. Secondly, the places you describe where you might use this product aren't the places where it is difficult to use standard products in an old property. I really can't see any advantage to using this stuff at all within a house, other than preventing a hasty tradesman forgetting to fit the insulation.
I wish it were that simple. In order to go under the floor withe both a hot and cold supply, it needs to be accessible should there be a leak. The MDPE is only suitable for the cold water supply. Hep2o or similar cannot be under the slab and UFH, even in conduit and would need insulating. Hence my post. Copper pipe could not be easily repaired/replaced, so an alternative is sought
