Exteriors - GRP Coping
Our GRP Coping stones offer a lightweight durable alternative to
traditional cast stone. Choose GRP copings where there is any danger of storm damage and injury to pedestrians.
Modern building legislation has put a greater emphasis on health and safety, and especially in areas where there is a potential risk of falling stone work.
House Martin GRP coping is manufactured in two parts, a tough base plate with a stone effect GRP top moulding above. These are designed to overlap the base plate and form a drip two both sides of your party (or Gable End) wall.
Where our GRP coping stones are used on a pitch
they can either be supplied with pre-moulded stop ends, or alternatively with a "Kicker" detail that has one section to the pitch and the base kicking out on a horizontal plain.
On larger sites we also offer the option of loose stop ends to avoid any waste from cut down GRP coping lengths.
Whilst the majority of applications are twice weathered (see profiles below), we also offer once weathered GRP coping stones with external and internal 90° corners to match.
Please ensure
weather copings are installed so that the fall faces in towards your building or balcony. Home owners need to be discouraged from placing items on once weathered copings which may fall off and injury anyone below.
An inward facing weathering enhances the chances of loose items falling backwards rather than out towards bypassers.
Our copings have been
designed with a feature groove to mimic a cast stone appearance. Using RAL and BS colour charts we can provide copings that will match most Bath and Portland Stone colours. If you require assistance with a quotation
