Brick Wall Coping

Brick coping refers to the protective and decorative layer of bricks placed on top of walls. Its main function is to shield the wall from water ingress, preventing structural damage over time.

We stock various reclaimed coping bricks, including flat top, half-round, and angled types. These suit everything from garden walls to period boundary walls and restoration projects.

Yes — reclaimed brick copings add immediate character and authenticity to newly built walls, particularly in traditional or rural settings. They also blend well with handmade or weathered facing bricks.

Most reclaimed copings were originally used in exterior environments and have proven long-term durability. For added protection, ensure correct installation with a suitable fall for water runoff.

Brick copings are typically laid with a slight overhang and may require waterproof mortar or a damp-proof barrier underneath. Installation should also consider slope or drip channels to shed water effectively.

• Flat copings: Clean-lined, suitable for low walls and garden borders.
• Half-round copings: Domed top ideal for traditional wall finishes.
• Angled copings: Sloped to direct water away from the wall face, offering both function and visual definition.
