Application

Aluminium parapet capping system for weatherproofing and ventilating upstanding walls, formed with a central apex across the top face to create positive falls to both sides.

Description

SnapLok Apex Capping provides a clean, durable and concealed-fix aluminium solution for protecting upstanding parapet walls where the capping is formed with a central apex across the top face.

The apex profile creates falls to both sides of the parapet, helping to shed rainwater efficiently while also providing a distinctive architectural roof-edge detail. Precision-formed aluminium capping sections locate securely onto concealed SnapLok retaining brackets, avoiding visible fixings or penetrations through the finished surface.

Features and benefits:

  • Simple and economical to install.
  • Suitable for upstanding parapet walls on both flat and pitched roof applications.
  • Formed with a central apex across the top face to create falls in both directions.
  • Helps promote efficient rainwater run-off from the capping surface.
  • Concealed “snap” fixing system eliminates visible fixings and penetrations through the finished capping.
  • Allows ventilation over the top of the parapet construction.
  • Precision manufactured for accurate alignment and secure engagement with the concealed retaining brackets.
  • Manufactured in standard or bespoke widths to suit different parapet constructions.
  • Apex height and profile can be tailored to suit project-specific architectural requirements.
  • Variable internal and external leg depths can be provided to suit the wall build-up.
  • Available in a range of aluminium thicknesses to suit the capping width and application.
  • Straight and curved apex capping can be manufactured to suit the building geometry.
  • Bespoke welded corners, stopends, abutments, transitions and junctions are available to create a complete coordinated system.
  • Independently wind tested to speeds in excess of 400 mph.
  • Optional abseil loading support can be incorporated where façade and window maintenance access is required.
  • Available in a wide range of powder-coated, anodised and natural finishes.
  • Suitable for commercial, residential and high-rise applications requiring a distinctive and robust parapet capping solution.
