Benefits of Aluminium Wall Copings vs Stone Copings
When comparing aluminium wall copings to traditional stone options, the advantages are clear. Aluminium copings are lightweight (up to 70% lighter), strong, and available in a wide range of colours and finishes for greater design versatility. Unlike stone, which can crack, absorb moisture, or require frequent sealing, aluminium resists corrosion and weathering, making it a superior choice for UK climates. Plus, installation is quicker and easier, reducing project timelines and costs. For more insights, explore our blog on the top reasons to choose aluminium wall copings.
How to Install Aluminium Wall Copings
Our aluminium wall copings are designed for straightforward installation, even on challenging sites.
Fixing Instructions
Aluminium wall copings are typically fixed to 18mm WBP plywood or fibre cement backing boards for a level surface. Space coping brackets at maximum 1.5m centres, with one at each joint. Apply two beads of silicone sealant (code SU1) to the brackets, then click the coping panels into place—hiding all fixings for a sleek, secret-fix finish.
How to Cut Aluminium Coping Profiles
Use an angle grinder with a 1mm metal cutting blade, dipped in tallow for lubrication to prevent burrs and ensure a clean cut. Alternatively, skill saws, jigsaws, or mitre saws with metal blades work well. Remove any burrs with a file, and apply touch-up paint (code SU6) to cut edges for protection and an aesthetically pleasing result.
Do Angles or Falls Need to Be Added?
Unlike lime stone copings that can stain facades due to calcium deposits, aluminium wall copings contain no microparticles that cause discolouration. They can be installed perfectly flat for a modern look. If a slight fall is preferred for enhanced drainage, simply place small packers under one end of the brackets during installation.
Fire Rating for Aluminium Wall Copings
All our polyester powder-coated aluminium wall copings are non-combustible with a fire class rating of A2-s1,d0. This makes them suitable for unlimited applications on residential, commercial, and high-rise properties, including balconies—ensuring full compliance with UK building regulations.
Maintenance Tips for Aluminium Wall Copings
For visible areas like terraces, balconies, or garden walls, clean your aluminium wall copings easily with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe down with a damp cloth and dry using a microfibre cloth for a streak-free shine. This simple routine prolongs the powder-coated finish and keeps your copings looking new for decades.
