Contour Copings is a new, high quality aluminium wall capping system that has just been announced by Contour Casings Limited, the UK’s leading supplier of pre-formed pipe boxing and column casings. The innovative wall capping system has been designed for fixing to walls and parapets on all types of building and incorporates a ‘secret fix’ design which gives installations a professional, clean-line appearance.

All Contour wall capping components are polyester powder-coated to ensure long term durability and Syntha Pulvin can also be specified to provide a guarantee of up to 30 years (depending on the application) and Contour offer an extensive range of standard colours as well as the ability to supply colour-matched components where required. For most colours Contour offers a choice of gloss, satin or matt finish – mill finish can also be specified.		Aluminium Wall Cappings
