Castle Composites Twice Weathered Concrete Coping Stones

Castle Composites twice weathered concrete coping stones have a raised central profile that falls away in both directions. This helps shed rainwater towards either side of a boundary or garden wall while creating a traditional, finished appearance. Underside drip checks help interrupt water running back towards the masonry face.

Choosing and using Castle Composites twice weathered concrete coping

Choose the coping width against the actual finished wall thickness, including render or other finishes, and allow a suitable overhang. Set out the run so joints are consistent and allow for corners and end details. Confirm the specified bedding or specialist adhesive method, lifting arrangements and joint treatment before installation; the larger sizes may be heavy.

Choosing single-fall coping for a wall

A once-weathered coping has a fall in one direction, unlike a twice-weathered stone that sheds water to both sides. This can be helpful on a wall where the direction of surface run-off needs to be considered carefully. The correct orientation, joint arrangement and drip position should be decided before laying starts.

The page currently offers 230, 300, 375 and 450mm-wide pieces at 600mm length in Buff, Light Grey and Dark Grey. Compare the overall width with the finished wall rather than nominal block dimensions. The slope does not replace a correctly designed wall top or waterproofing detail, and all joints and bedding should be completed using a suitable method. Plan access and safe handling for the larger precast units.

How is once-weathered coping different from flat coping?

Once-weathered coping has a deliberate slope to one side, while flat coping has a comparatively level top. Both need appropriate installation and drip detailing to manage rainwater.
