Metal coping is often used to cover the top of a parapet wall in lieu of masonry copings. If your composition flashing system is the full height of the parapet wall, extend this flashing over the top to the outside edge of the parapet. This will ensure no interior leaks should water enter at the metal coping joints. 2, record 2, English, - metal%20coping

Le solin de couronnement est un terme généralement utilisé pour désigner le chaperon métallique qui recouvre le couronnement du parapet. Il sert à protéger la bordure supérieure du solin de base. Il peut également, s'il est bien conçu, ajouter une touche visuelle à la bordure de toit. Bien qu'il ne soit pas étanche à l'eau, le solin de couronnement permet d'écarter l'eau et doit être incliné vers le toit. 2, record 2, French, - chaperon%20de%20m%C3%A9tal
