Aluminium cappings, also known as wall copings and parapet cappings, are designed to help protect walls against the elements. Implemented properly they provide long-lasting defence not just for the wall’s structural integrity but also for its appearance, channelling as much of the water as possible toward your drainage system – for example, cast iron or aluminium guttering.
A properly selected and installed wall coping will also contribute to the appearance of your building, adding to its aesthetic.
Why Choose Aluminium Wall Copings?
At Gutters Online we recommend aluminium parapet copings over and above the alternative materials, which are usually concrete or stone. Both concrete and stone are much heavier, which can make them unsuitable for certain projects and more complex to implement for others.
Manufactured using marine grade aluminium, our wall copings have another major advantage over concrete in the longevity stakes. Unlike the concrete, your aluminium capping will not be steadily worn down in a few years, lasting instead for decades. (With an aluminium powder coating in one of over 200 RAL colours, even their colour will endure for years.)
Aluminium is also much easier to maintain than stone once in place and, in fact, will continue to perform well with only basic maintenance for decades.
Which Wall Copings Are Right for Your Project?
As standard, we provide level copings, but we can price sloped copings on request (as well as unusual sizes for level copings). We supply our copings in lengths of up to 3 metres.
