Materials for wall coverings:
Wall coping is available in a variety of materials, including zinc, copper, aluminum, and stainless steel. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to consider the client's needs and the structure's surroundings. For example, zinc is a cost-effective option that develops a natural patina and blends well with historic buildings. Copper, on the other hand, is durable, rust-resistant, and adds an elegant appeal to any building.
Tools for installation:
When installing wall copings, you will need a number of specialized tools to ensure the copings are securely and permanently attached. These include:
- Impact wrench: A powerful impact wrench is essential to install fasteners firmly and securely.
- Sheet metal shears: High-quality sheet metal shears allow precise cuts along the wall coping to ensure a perfect fit.
- Rivet gun: A rivet gun is necessary to connect the individual parts of the wall coverings together and create a stable structure. GESIPA riveting pliers
