Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a clean, level surface to ensure the coping sits flush against the wall. It is recommended to use appropriate fixings as specified by your local building regulations to secure the coping against high winds. Ensure there is a slight fall or overhang to direct water away from the wall face. For maintenance, the aluminium surface is low-maintenance; simply wash with mild soap and water periodically to remove debris or dust buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the grey finish. Periodically inspect the joint seals to ensure the watertight integrity of the installation remains intact.
