Good to know
These prices apply to powder-coated aluminium copings in standard RAL colours, custom-made in Switzerland. Special RAL colours or anodised finishes may result in a surcharge of 10 to 20%.
Factors that influence the price
The final price of an aluminium coping depends on many parameters. Here are the main elements to consider when requesting a quote:
Developed width
The wider the coping, the more aluminium is used, which directly increases the price per linear metre.
Metal thickness
1.5 mm is the standard. For areas exposed to strong winds or heavy snow, 2 mm is recommended.
Finish & RAL colour
Powder coating in 200+ RAL colours is included. Special finishes (brushed, anodised) are charged as extras.
Order quantity
Small orders may incur a minimum charge. Large quantities benefit from tiered pricing.
Profile & shape
A simple 2-3 fold profile costs less than a coping with complex returns, drip edge or concealed clip fixing.
Delivery
Calculated based on volume and destination. SuissePliage delivers throughout German and French-speaking Switzerland.
Aluminium vs other materials
Aluminium is not the only material available for copings. Here is a comparison with the most common alternatives on the Swiss market:
| Material | Price / lm | Lifespan | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Powder-coated aluminium Recommended | CHF 35 – 120 | 40 – 60 years | None |
| Pre-patinated zinc | CHF 45 – 130 | 50 – 80 years | Minimal |
| Painted galvanised steel | CHF 25 – 70 | 15 – 25 years | Regular |
| PVC Budget | CHF 15 – 40 | 10 – 20 years | Low |
| Copper | CHF 120 – 250 | 80 – 100 years | None |
Powder-coated aluminium represents the best compromise between durability, aesthetics and cost. Corrosion-resistant, it requires no maintenance, accepts all RAL colours and can be folded to measure to perfectly suit any architectural configuration.
Custom coping: how does it work?
At SuissePliage, every coping is custom-made in our Swiss workshop. The process is straightforward:
1
Taking measurements
You record the exact dimensions of your parapets or walls: developed width, lengths, lateral returns.
2
Online configuration
You select your profile, RAL colour and thickness using our 3D configuration tool.
3
Instant quote
The price is calculated automatically based on your dimensions and chosen options, with no commitment.
4
Manufacturing & delivery
Your copings are cut, folded and powder-coated within 5 to 10 working days, then delivered to your site.
OK
Swiss quality guaranteed
All our copings are made from 1050 or 3003 aluminium, 1.5 mm or 2 mm thick, powder-coated to Qualicoat standards — colour durability guaranteed for 10 years.
Should installation be included in the budget?
In Switzerland, installation costs generally range between CHF 25 and CHF 60 per linear metre depending on complexity, height and region. The total budget (supply + installation) then comes to between CHF 80 and CHF 180 per linear metre.
Installation by a roofer or sheet metal worker
For large or elevated projects, we recommend using a certified sheet metal worker or roofer. This guarantees installation in accordance with best practices and perfect watertightness.
Self-installation
For accessible projects (low walls, fences, ground-level terraces), self-installation is entirely feasible. Our copings are delivered with fixing instructions and the necessary brackets are available as an option.

Yes, all our aluminium copings are delivered powder-coated in your chosen RAL colour. Powder coating is included in the listed price for over 200 standard RAL colours.

Q
Can copings be ordered with concealed clip fixing?
