Parapet Walls • Walls that extent above the roof of a building • Used primarily where “store front” design is desired • Used in conjunction with balloon framing • Balloon framing withstands wind & seismic forces structurally better than platform framing • Deters fire from spreading between buildings
Parapet Wall Construction Materials • Wood Frame • Balloon frame typical • Concrete • Poured in place • Tilt up panels • Masonry • Solid masonry
Wood Parapet Walls • short wall extends above the finished roof • common in store fronts • generally incorporates balloon framing WOOD
Preventing Water Leakage (Wood Design) • Metal Coping • galvanized iron/aluminum or baked enamels finishes • 10’ soldered joints or mastic sealants • Reglet • metal member fastened to studs which allows flashing to snap into place • Flashing • metal member near roof line, building paper raps up the wall under flashing
Concrete Parapet Walls • Concrete Poured in place • Concrete Tilt up slab CONCRETE
Masonry Parapet Wall concrete/metal cap (called coping) waterproofing reglet Terms to Know 1--Coping 2--Reglet 3--Flashing 4--Cant strip 5--Ledger flashing building paper cant strip roofing sheathing roof joist joist hanger bolt wood ledger bond beam
Coping Materials Precast • Preformed cast concrete • single or double sloped top surface (wash) • Brick paver • special design with sloped top edge • Metal caps • Aluminum • Baked enamel finished metal • Galvanized sheet metal Brick Pavers Metal
