Aluminium flashings and copings

Flashings and copings close the junctions that weather a façade: parapets, window heads and sills, roof edges and changes of material. We supply and install them in aluminium as part of our façade and recladding packages, so the details that finish the building are made by the same company.

Half-round profiled steel cladding with a folded reveal and window head, close up, at Meopham School
Meopham School, for Willmott Dixon, by Express Facades: steel half-round panel rainscreen with soffits, reveals and copings.

What they do

  • Window with a louvred head set in a brick-faced wall

    Flashings

    Weatherproof the seams and junctions between roofs, walls and openings, directing water away from the building.

    Pictured: a window head at REEF Way.

  • Corner of a cream rendered school block with a metal coping along the parapet

    Copings

    Cap the tops of walls and parapets exposed to the weather, shedding rain clear of the façade below.

    Pictured: the parapet at Cobham Free School, Phase 2.

Why aluminium

  • Low maintenance
  • Fast to install
  • Easily formed to suit the detail
  • A clean-lined, modern finish
  • 100% recyclable

Made to suit the building

Flashings and copings are where a façade looks sharp or untidy. We detail them with the cladding and frame and make them to suit site dimensions and the chosen finish.

Supply only? FAB Supplies, the group's online shop, sells flashings and copings.
