Copes, Pier Caps and Spheres

Our cast stone copes, pier caps and associated spheres provide an attractive and weatherproof finish to the tops of wall heads and are available in a variety of colours and profiles.

Our copes are produced in six basic section types of various widths and in standard lengths of 890mm or in non-standard lengths not exceeding 890mm.

Finished open ends, finished returned ends and 90° external and internal masons mitres are all available. Our pier caps are produced in five designs, each with a standard height and various widths to suit various pier sizes. Two of the designs are specifically used in conjunction with our standard cast stone spheres.

All wall heads should have a D.P.C. located beneath the copes and pier caps. If required, copes can be produced with dowel pockets in the ends or bottoms. Copes and pier caps should have a minimum projection of 40mm from the line of the finished walls below as they are produced with a 12mm diameter half round weather drip (throating) positioned 15mm in from each side.
