Custom Parapet Coping
for Commercial Roofs

Precision brake-formed coping caps and corners custom-fabricated to your parapet profile. Galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless. Ready for the job site.

Fabricated to Your Parapet Profile

Parapet coping is the cap that covers the top of a parapet wall, shedding water away from the roof-wall junction. Every building has a slightly different parapet width, pitch, and edge detail. Every coping order is fabricated custom to your drawings or field measurements.

Where Parapet Coping Is Used

Parapet coping protects the top of any parapet wall from water infiltration, freeze-thaw damage, and long-term weathering. Without properly fitted coping, parapet walls are one of the most common sources of water intrusion on commercial roofs. PDX Panels fabricates coping for every type of commercial construction across Oregon and Washington. From small retail buildings to large-scale multi-story developments.

Every coping order we produce is custom-made to your building's exact parapet width, face height, and edge profile. We work from your drawings, field measurements, or both. Standard SMACNA profiles are always available, but we can fabricate non-standard profiles when the project calls for a specific architectural look or when existing coping must be matched. Galvanized steel is the most common material for budget-sensitive projects, while aluminum is often specified for its lighter weight and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is available for premium applications or coastal environments.

SMACNA Standards & Compliance

All parapet coping fabricated by PDX Panels follows SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association) guidelines for low-slope and steep-slope applications. Proper cleat sizing, end lap dimensions, and expansion joint placement are built into every order. We can provide shop drawings for permit submittals and review packets on request.
