FAQs

Is this coping compatible with walls thinner than 141mm?

No, this specific model (WC440-3-P) is designed for wall thicknesses between 141mm and 200mm.

Can I cut the 3-meter lengths to fit?

Yes, aluminium can be cut to size using standard metalworking tools, but ensure edges are filed smooth afterward.

Does the coping require regular painting?

No, the factory-applied painted finish is designed for durability and does not require periodic repainting under normal conditions.

How should I attach the coping to the wall?

Use manufacturer-recommended fixings that allow for thermal expansion, avoiding rigid fastening that may cause buckling.

Is this product suitable for coastal environments?

Yes, aluminium provides excellent natural resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for most environments.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the coping

Ensure that the wall has a slight fall or that the coping has been installed with a consistent gradient to allow water runoff.

Joints are not weather-tight

Check that all joints are properly overlapped and sealed according to manufacturer guidelines to prevent water penetration.

Surface finish showing minor scratches

Use touch-up paint specifically formulated for the ARP painted finish to restore the protective layer and aesthetic look.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure that the parapet wall is level and clean before attempting to secure the coping. It is essential to use appropriate fixings that allow for the natural thermal movement of the aluminium. Regular maintenance involves simple visual inspections for any damage to the painted surface and periodic cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove surface dirt and pollutants. Always consult local building regulations regarding the specific fastening methods required for your wall substrate.
