The facilities team or asset manager expects the coping system to remain maintenance-free for a defined period, usually 25 years or more, and the specification reflects that. The 3mm closed stopend, as part of a complete 3mm flat coping system from a single UK manufacturer, gives the client a traceable specification, consistent colour across the full perimeter, and a documented powder coat standard that supports long-term warranty and maintenance planning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen should I use the 3mm stopend instead of the 2mm?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse the 3mm stopend whenever you are using 3mm flat coping lengths on the project. The stopend gauge must match the coping gauge. Beyond that, choose 3mm for commercial projects, NHBC-registered new builds, exposed or coastal sites, taller buildings with higher parapets, and any project where the specification document calls for 3mm. For straightforward domestic rear extensions and outbuildings in sheltered locations, 2mm is usually the appropriate choice. The 2mm and 3mm stopends are the same profile and the same size range; the difference is the material thickness and the corresponding stiffness and wind resistance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow do I calculate the correct stopend size for a 3mm coping system?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe calculation is the same for 3mm as for 2mm: measure the wall width at the top of the parapet and add 170mm to account for both 75mm external legs and both 10mm returns (75 + 75 + 10 + 10 = 170). A 265mm wide wall gives a stopend size of 435mm. A 390mm wide wall gives 560mm. Select the exact size from the available 29 options (185mm to 885mm in 25mm steps). If your figure falls between two sizes, order the next size up. The quickest method on site is to measure the overall width of the installed coping profile across the top: that measurement is the stopend size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs this stopend compatible with the 2mm flat coping lengths?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. The 3mm stopend is designed for the 3mm flat coping system. Although the overall profile shape is the same as the 2mm version, the wall thickness is different, which means the fit at the junction between a 3mm stopend and a 2mm straight length will not be correct. Always match the stopend gauge to the gauge of the straight lengths it terminates. If you are using 2mm lengths, order the 2mm closed stopend. If you are using 3mm lengths, use this 3mm version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoes this product need a specific bracket?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes. For a 3mm aluminium flat coping system, the 5mm aluminium coping bracket is the correct specification. The 5mm bracket is heavier and provides greater fixing resistance than the 4mm bracket, which is appropriate for the heavier gauge coping and the more demanding sites where 3mm is typically specified. On exposed sites or tall buildings where wind uplift calculations are required, the bracket spacing should be confirmed with the structural engineer. Do not use the 4mm bracket as a substitute on a commercial or exposed-site 3mm coping installation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is the difference between the closed stopend and the stopend upstand on this system?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe closed stopend seals the end face of the coping run completely with no opening. It is the standard terminal piece for most flat coping run terminations: wherever the coping simply ends at a wall edge, a corner, or an abutment with a building face. The stopend upstand has an upstand element at the end that allows the coping to terminate against a rising detail or allows water to drain over the end of the run. On the majority of commercial flat roof parapets, the closed stopend is correct at most or all terminations. The upstand is a specific detail for specific conditions. If the architectural drawings do not specify an upstand at a particular end, use the closed stopend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart of a Complete 3mm Flat Coping System\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis stopend is one component in the complete 3mm aluminium flat coping system with a 75mm external leg.
