The popularity of flat roofs has seen a huge increase inline with advancements in material technology. The encapsulation of parapet walls is fundamental in ensuring the life span, and integrity of flat roofs.
Many parapets with stone copings suffer from water ingress, this happens when the mortar cracks between coping stones. Traditional aluminium copings systems can allow water penetration, when fixing pass through the coping and into the cavity.

- Aluminium is 100% recyclable, with 70% of aluminium ever produced still in use.
- High corrosion resistance, due to an oxide outer layer.
- Weights only one third the weight of steel, making the installation process more efficient.
- Expected lifespan up to 40 years in rural areas, reducing to 25 years in coastal or industrial environment.
