Parapet Coping in Orlando

Metal roofing and fabrication in Orlando, Florida, contends with significant humidity and intense heat year-round. While not directly on the coast, the region still experiences the effects of a subtropical climate, including heavy rainfall and the potential for hurricane-force winds. The existing building stock varies, with many structures built to withstand these environmental factors.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should consider the impact of high humidity on material longevity and potential for corrosion, especially for non-stainless steel fasteners.
  • Hurricane preparedness is crucial; metal roofing offers excellent wind resistance when properly installed and fastened.
  • The intense sun and heat can affect material expansion and contraction, requiring appropriate detailing and installation techniques.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the roofing system against common weather challenges.

What the work involves

This service involves fabricating and installing custom-formed metal pieces that cap the parapet wall. The metal coping is typically secured to the wall’s substrate and designed to overlap the coping’s edges to prevent water intrusion.

When this comes up

  • When a parapet wall requires a durable and weather-resistant protective cap.
  • To prevent water from penetrating the masonry or concrete of the parapet wall.
  • As part of a new construction project requiring parapet wall protection.
  • During a roof replacement or renovation where existing coping is damaged or deteriorated.
