This aluminium stopend upstand is part of the Skyline aluminium coping range from Alumasc. Alumasc have created Skyline, a wide range of aluminium coping products, to provide an aesthetic and functional alternative to more traditional coping products, and is suitable for both retrofit and new build projects. The aluminium stopend upstand is available in agate grey, polyester powder coated in-house at Alumasc, and is 242mm. This stopend upstand will suit a wall thickness of 121mm to 180mm. The stopend upstand has been designed to sit where the coping meets a wall. By installing the stopend upstand at an adjoining wall a weathertight seal will be created, retaining the integrity of the wall and the coping, prolonging the lifespan and minimising weathering over time. Each aluminium stopend upstand is supplied with a fixing strap. The fixing strap method of installation is a great way to ensure the coping is weathertight and long lasting, as no penetration of the coping is required. The benefits of Skyline aluminium coping The Skyline range of aluminium copings has been designed as an economical and easily installed cap that sits on upstanding parapets, or in conjunction with flat or pitched roofs. The aluminium copings are extremely lightweight, which improves the installation time, whilst also being durable and non-corrodible, helping to maximise the lifespan and resulting in minimal maintenance. As a result, the aluminium coping has a lifespan of 40 years in rural or suburban areas, and up to 25 years in industrial or marine areas. The copings are installed with a strapping method, which means there is no penetration required, which helps to improve weathertightness. Additionally, the strapping method also allows ventilation to occur over the top of the wall. This strap fixing provides rigidity and strength, but the fixings are not visible, improving the overall aesthetics of the product. The aluminium range of Skyline coping is also popular amongst sustainable and environmentally friendly products, because aluminium is 100% recyclable - this means that it can be recycled and reused when it reaches the end of its lifespan.
