SAS “Wet-Cast” Wall Coping: between minimalism and functionality

SAS Wall Coping is undoubtedly one of the most well-known and best-selling products in our catalogue. Before discussing its potential, do you know what these pieces are used for? In one of the previous blogs, we explained how the name “wall coping” was born in SAS to refer to traditional coping, a more familiar and easily understood term for the general public, and we discussed their main characteristics.

The primary purpose of Wall Coping is to provide a finishing touch to external walls and prevent rainwater from penetrating and damaging them. At the same time, they serve as a base for installing fences, screenwalling, and balusters. In 2014, we started producing the “Wet-Cast” line, which expands our range of Wall Coping options. Previously, we only offered the “Dry-Cast” semi-dry finish, which has been in production since 1977. Together, these two product lines offer a total of 20 models, which, when combined with various sizes and colors, provide over 277 options!

What makes SAS Wall Coping unique in its category?


Firstly, our products are continuously evolving through the integration of new technologies and our customer feedback. This enables us to adapt our products to meet the market demands while ensuring they satisfy the specific needs of our customers.

All SAS Wall Copings are manufactured without internal reinforcement. This prevents internal oxidation and ensures that the elements withstand the test of time without bursting due to expansions.
Moreover, all models feature a drip edge at the bottom. This ensures that even during heavy rain, water does not come into direct contact with the wall, preventing damage and potential staining caused by moisture.
Finally, the high-performance concrete composition used in the manufacturing of all SAS products guarantees quality, deformation resistance and long-term durability.

What makes the Smooth Finish “Wet-Cast” Slabs the best option?


The difference with the semi-dry finish “Dry-Cast” is the production process and a more minimalist and trending aesthetic. The “Wet-Cast” Wall Coping are manufactured in individual molds that are subsequently demolded to undergo controlled maturation for over 8 days. The consistency of the mixture is more fluid, allowing for a more homogeneous distribution in the mold. Thanks to this mixture, the finish is very smooth, with practically invisible pores and perfectly rounded edges, making it the most contemporary aesthetically pleasing solution for your projects.

The products in this line are the perfect alternative for everyone who prefers polymer wall coping over concrete. Thanks to our manufacturing technique and the characteristics of the mixture, SAS Wall Coping offer many advantages over polymers, making them ideal for high-quality construction projects:

  • Manufactured with high-alumina self-compacting concrete (HAC) with a high content of fine materials and state-of-the-art superplasticizing additives, providing superior strength and stability compared to other products.
  • Rounded edges and super smooth finish resulting in water absorption below 2,5%. Different sections (slab, double-beveled, sloping, and chamfered) available in two lengths: 50 and 100 cm. Drip edge for proper water evacuation.  
  • Advantages over polymers: no warping, no breaking, no color fading, high abrasion resistance, greater on-site stability, unaffected by temperature changes, surface does not crack due to sun exposure or over time, etc.
