Whether you need standard wall coping sizes or bespoke aluminium coping systems, our products deliver superior performance, easy installation and long-term value. Complete your project with our aluminium gutters and aluminium downpipes for a durable and sustainable rainwater management system.
Why Choose Aluminium Wall Copings?
Superior Durability
Manufactured from 1050A H14 marine-grade aluminium, our copings are built for decades of performance. Finished with BS EN 12206-1:2004 compliant polyester powder coating, they offer outstanding corrosion resistance and a refined look for any project.
Easy and Secure Installation
Our click-fit aluminium coping system uses hidden internal brackets for a seamless appearance and secure fit. Available in flat or sloping coping profiles, they guide water back toward the roof to reduce ponding. Lightweight yet strong, they are much easier to handle than stone or concrete copings.
Suitable for Any Project
Choose from a wide range of RAL colours to perfectly match your aluminium wall copings to windows, doors or gutters. Designed for residential, commercial or industrial builds, our copings add long-term style and protection.
Sustainability and Longevity
Aluminium is 100% recyclable and can be repurposed endlessly without loss of quality. With a functional life expectancy of 40+ years, these copings provide exceptional value and environmental benefits.
Aluminium Coping Sizes
We offer standard widths of 260mm, 310mm, 360mm and 410mm to fit most flat roof parapet walls from 200mm to 350mm. Bespoke wall copings are also available to suit unique measurements.

How to Install Aluminium Wall Copings
- Prepare the parapet wall by levelling and ensuring it is properly aligned. Use at least 18mm marine ply and a weatherproof membrane.
- Install coping brackets at a maximum of 1m intervals, with jointing brackets at each coping joint.
- Start fitting from a corner, T-section or stopend for correct alignment.
- Hook one edge of the coping over the bracket, then pivot and click into place to compress the EPDM seals.
- Trim to size on-site with a jigsaw, deburr edges and apply touch-up paint where needed.
Maintenance
Simply clean annually with mild soap and water, or every 6 months in coastal areas. Remove debris regularly and check bracket security. Touch up any exposed edges to prevent corrosion.
