Caplock® Copings

The Caplock® System locks together the top course of brickwork over a two metre length, forming a virtually immovable monolithic mass. This has great advantages. It adds security to parapet walls, boundary walls where vandalism may be a problem, and consequently can reduce lifetime maintenance costs.

Each order is supplied with the correct amount of plastic 'locking' insert. Each component is available in wet cast or semi-dry formats, please specify the mix requirement when ordering.
