Considering whether to update the exterior of your home or business with contemporary coping?
If so, you’re probably wondering which material is best.
Luckily, the team at Rainclear Systems has plenty of experience supplying top-of-the-range aluminium coping to many satisfied customers.
We explore some of the benefits of using aluminium to fabricate wall coping below.
Is aluminium coping better than stone coping?
While it’s true that coping can be made from aluminium or stone, the project, location and application of these coping solutions varies greatly.
Aluminium coping, for example, is an architectural fabrication designed to be installed on top of a parapet wall around a flat roof extension. It refers to a pressed aluminium sheet used to create a smart, long-lasting, and protective finish.
Stone coping, on the other hand, is suitable for being placed atop a boundary wall surrounding your property.
The team at Rainclear Systems only supplies aluminium coping, rainwater management systems, and fascia and soffit designed to be installed on a building.
As a result, our customers simply won’t need to compare stone coping against aluminium coping because they are bought for different purposes.
What are the benefits of aluminium coping?
To help you decide whether aluminium coping is the right fit for your property, we take a look at some of the key advantages of using this material.
Highly durable
Corrosion-resistant, highly-durable, and with low embed carbon, it’s not hard to see why aluminium coping is such a popular choice for homeowners.
Looks great
One of the most appealing aspects of aluminium coping is the attractive modern finish that complements practically every building – especially more contemporary designs.
Aluminium coping can also be powder-coated in practically any colour to match or complement the property’s window frames and doors.
The aluminium coping supplied by Rainclear is ideal for use in both retrofit and new-build projects, and is available in any one of 26 RAL colours as standard.
Easy to look after
The power coating, certified by the British Board of Agrement (BBA), contributes to the relatively low maintenance requirements for aluminium, saving you both time and money.
Meets building regulations
Classified as a construction material with very limited combustibility, aluminium coping complies with all the latest building regulations in the UK.
Power-coated aluminium, in particular, has an incredibly high melting temperature of more than 600° and carries an A2-S1 fire rating.
