Coping Metal Replacement

Coping metal is the cap that covers the top of parapet walls on flat and low-slope roofs. It sheds water away from the wall and protects the roof edge. When coping becomes loose, corroded, or damaged, water can get behind it and into the building.

Replacing worn coping metal is an important part of keeping commercial and flat roofs watertight.
