  Guard-coping Type C and U

Conventionally, most materials for coping have been made of wood. Thereafter, materials have changed one after another, including stone, concrete, iron, aluminum, and stainless steel.
These days, coping made of aluminum is predominant, exerting its characteristics fully through long development.
During this time, architectural styles have also continued to develop while changing vertiginously.
Guard-coping is a new type of coping developed by concentrating our advanced technologies to meet customer needs associated with such diversification of buildings.
 
Features
Ease in handling
Five colors (silver, bronze, stain, brown, and black) with well fitting designs in stock as a standard.
The surface treatment of R-bent coping is the same as the straight-line type. The standard delivery time is about three weeks.
 
High strength and high quality
Guard-coping Type C is equipped with undercovering against wind and rain as a standard to further improve windbreak and rainproof performance. Guard-coping Type U is equipped with underribbing (2(7.5) in the central area of the coping body to improve strength (vertical and horizontal). Also, the underribbing and brackets are three-point-locked in combination to eliminate scattering in wind.
For all types, steel (2.3t) reinforced brackets (PAT.) are adopted. Even a strong wind will not stir up the coping to deform the brackets.
There are 18 types of Guard-coping Type C from 135 to 600mm in width, and there are 5 types of Guard-coping Type U from 250 to 400mm in width. These comply with common specifications by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Aluminum coping mounting hardware  
Guard-coping mounting hardware is seemingly the same but is completely different.
Conventional mounting method
The mounting method by which level adjustments are made by using wedges, etc., can cause their looseness and dropouts later due to pulsating wind pressure. The reality is that not only are there problems with safety and reliability but also considerable time is wasted in construction.

New mounting method
By our new original level adjustment mechanism, fixing is firm in any situation, such as inclined, uneven, or distorted framework. There is no need to worry about looseness from wind pressure. Also, the construction time is shortened significantly.
