Blue Brick Wall Copings

Staffordshire blue brick wall copings are produced by potteries in Staffordshire using a reduction firing, removing oxygen from the kilns. The process of manufacture creates an incredibly strong brick, used extensively in construction of bridges, tunnels, and weight bearing structures.

Our wall copings, fired at high temperatures, are waterproof and frost-proof. They are the size of a brick and laid as a soldier course flush with the sides of the wall. There is no overhang and therefore no protection from water runoff. This is really only suitable for low walls up to 600mm tall.

However, bricks used as copings on higher walls require plinth bricks or a layer of projecting roof tiles to create the necessary overhang to provide a drip that protects the wall below from water.

With its distinctive surface sheen, this brick is perfect for decorative use, in addition to wall caps.

Our range of new and reclaimed wall copings includes straight engineering bricks, single and double bullnose and cant bricks. We also stock triangular and semi-circular (or half-round) brick copings.

Our new Class A engineering bricks are available in both classic Staffordshire blue and a blue/brindle multi blend.
