Aluminium Copings for Flat Roofs – Engineered Weather Protection
Flat roofs present unique challenges at their perimeters, where most weather-related failures originate. Our specialist aluminium coping systems solve these problems through precision-engineered designs that combine robust protection with the low-maintenance benefits of premium aluminium. Unlike generic coping products, every detail has been optimised for flat roof performance.
Flat Roof-Specific Features
The system incorporates several critical design elements:
-
Integrated Drip Edges – Dual-channel design directs water away from both the roof membrane and wall surface
-
Wind-Resistant Profiles – Laboratory tested to withstand 110mph gusts (BS EN 1991-1-4)
-
Thermal Break Options – Prevent cold bridging at critical roof/wall junctions
-
Fire-Rated Assemblies – Achieve BROOF(t4) classification for commercial projects
-
Membrane Protection – Raised base prevents bitumen staining and degradation

-
Zero Rust – Unlike steel alternatives
-
Minimal Thermal Movement – 50% less than PVC-based systems
