Why Aluminium?

Lightweight, strong and durable – aluminium provides the perfect material for creating a versatile design solution at the building’s eaves.

Virtually maintenance free, our coping and capping ranges are designed to provide outstanding performance for the life of the building.

BBA Approval

The Ali-Fabs Architectural Coping System is the only product on the market to have gained BBA (British Board of Agrement) certification. BBA accreditation is widely recognised amongst architects, builders and local authorities. The latest BBA approval rates Ali-Fabs Architectural Coping as fit for purpose on factors such as weather tightness and durability.

A Brief History of Ali-Fabs

Ali-Fabs is the culmination of over 100 years of combined experience in the aluminium building products market. Guttercrest, which was founded in 1980, has vast experience in aluminium rainwater product manufacturing, including its popular aluminium coping system: Crest Coping and its Aluminium Capping System, which were first developed in 1985. In 2017, Guttercrest acquired the well-known Alifabs coping products, re-branding to Ali-Fabs. Both firms have an established reputation for expert design and technical expertise, with a product synergy that made the merger of the lines a seamless one. Both Guttercrest and Alifabs coping products now sit under the Ali-Fabs brand.

Product Line

Today, we offer a choice of four standard types of aluminium coping and capping: Architectural Coping, Crest Coping, Click-Fix Coping and Capping. We also specialise in bespoke curved and radius coping and capping in a wide range of colours and finishes. Every coping and capping product is manufactured in one of our UK production facilities, which total 65,000 sq ft and contain some of the most advanced machinery in the industry.
