What is precast heelstone coping?

Specification
One unit, every cubicle row.
Two profile options — Classic and the new Comfort. Both are 3 metres long with cast-in fixings; the optional screeding lip on the Classic forms new passageways.
Classic Heel Stone Coping
Square-shoulder profile
Use: Fast and efficient formation of sand bed and loose bedding cubicles — eliminates the need to shutter-form your own heelstones, saving labour and materials
Option: Available with a precast lip which can be used for screeding off for new passageways
Comfort Heel Stone Coping
Softer chamfered profile (designed with cow comfort in mind)
Use: Sacrifices a fraction of bed space for a softer profile that still fits our classic cubicle frame for easy cleaning
Option: Use in place of the classic where cow comfort and lameness are the priority
