1YRCould not find the answer you need? Ask about Artificial Stone Wall Coping.
Yes. Coping stones are massively important when it comes to your walling project. They protect walls from weather damage and come complete with drip checks - which helps to keep water away from the wall. Coping stones are manufactured from high-strength concrete and provide an aesthetically-pleasing finish.
Wall coping stones also protect the tops of external walls but when they are continuously leaking, problems occur. The result is further damage such as hollow, loose or missing render. The leaky part and the worn part of the wall should be repaired immediately.
A wall coping may be capstone, brick, clay or terracotta, concrete or cast stone, tile, slate, granite, limestone, sandstone, marble, tuff, gneiss, etc. In all cases it should be weathered (have a slanted or curved top surface) to throw off the water.
This wall element for protection purposes placed on the wall must be at least 3 cm thick. It should protrude at least 5 cm on both sides of the wall to prevent rainfall from penetrating the wall.
