Outdoor Wall Copings and Cappings

The function of copings and cappings are aesthetic as well as protective. The appearance of a wall may be dramatically changed by altering the coping or capping

The protective function is against vertical water penetration and in shedding rainwater clear of the face as effectively as possible. The ideal coping should be durable and waterproof weather and the brickwork and constructed preferably with interlocking units. The overhang should include a throating recess or a drip not less than 13 mm wide.

In many instances for aesthetic or functional reasons, it is necessary to use a brick-on-edge capping. Such a capping will perform reasonably well, provided that it is constructed in accordance with the recommendations of regulations. Suitable galvanised steel, stainless steel or non-ferrous metal anchors.

A minimum weight of 1.5 kN/m2 is preferred for copings with concrete or stone units. Some brick manufacturers can supply their own capping system which incorporates a dpc.

 

Free-Standing Brick Design Walls For Homes

Free-standing brick walls are widely used for boundary demarcation, landscaping, screening, security and noise barriers. When properly constructed, free-standing brick walls have proved to be extremely durable and pleasing in appearance.

There are many examples of brick walls which are hundreds of years old, and apart from occasional pointing and attention to coping require no other maintenance.

By modern standards, most of these old walls built by rule of thumb are clearly over-designed. However since the turn of the century and particularly after the Second World War, financial constraints and the phenomenal growth of mass housing estates produced some very unsatisfactory examples of free-standing walling.

As strange as it may seem, walls are not subjected to statutory control. An exception to this is within the inner London area where approval is required when the height exceeds 1.83m (6ft) above ground level. It is therefore not surprising that in the majority of cases, walls are put up rather than designed and all too frequently prematurely deteriorate or blow over.

The Right Guttering For The Right Property

Making sure your property has the right guttering is important. Gutters are essential for channelling rainwater and even help to maintain the buildings the structural stability.

Unfortunately many properties are installed with the wrong type of gutter, and its usually because installers simply chose the wrong gutter system for the specific property. In in a survey by one of the UK’s largest warranty providers, nearly a quarter of the owners of new build homes reported guttering problems that had to be rectified at a later date.

Fitting a system that’s too small could cause it to fail to cope with the quantities of water flowing off a large roof. Using an ordinary domestic system on a large building project such as a school, sports hall, apartment block or a large house, means that you will need to fit more downpipes which not only costs more, but also may not fit your customer’s aesthetic requirements.
