Savoring everyday moments as toast-worthy occasions, we raise our glass to Merlot. Inspired by the rich warmth and beauty of a sunset enjoyed at the end of the day, Merlot brings to life sophisticated layers of warm gray, oaky brown and spiced sienna with deep red and purple undertones for a complex arrangement that exudes refinement.

2024 Shingle Color of the Year

Williamsburg Gray

Relaxing on the porch. Being one with nature. An ageless grace that never disappoints. This is the feel of Williamsburg Gray, naturally inspired and rich in history. Taking cues from river-washed rocks and granite cliffs, this modern take on traditional beauty uses slate grays, volcanic blacks, and earthy browns to make a unique yet timeless impression.

A few images from a recent Locklear Roofing job in Raleigh featuring metal coping.

Coping (architecture)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coping (from cope, Latin capa) consists of the capping or covering of a wall.[2]

splayed or wedge coping slopes in a single direction; a saddle coping slopes to either side of a central high point.[3]

A coping may consist of stone (capstone), brick, tileslate, metal, wood or thatch. In all cases it should be weathered to throw off the water.[2]

Various types of copings exist. A diagramatic explanation of copper copings is available.[4][5][6]

In Romanesque work copings appeared plain and flat, and projected over the wall with a throating to form a drip. In later work a steep slope was given to the weathering (mainly on the outer side), and began at the top with an astragal; in the Decorated style there were two or three sets off; and in the later Perpendicular Period these assumed a wavy section, and the coping mouldings continued round the sides, as well as at top and bottom, mitreing at the angles, as in many of the colleges at Oxford.[2]
