About this detail

A high roof parapet interfaces with a thermally broken aluminum curtain wall system and brick masonry veneer. The parapet wall is constructed with fire-retardant treated plywood sheathing and wood nailers, filled with polyisocyanurate insulation, and capped with a fully adhered flashing membrane extending beneath an extruded aluminum anchor bar and pre-finished snap-on metal fascia cover. The exterior wall assembly features a lipped brick shape supported by a three-eighths-inch painted steel plate and steel angle, backed by a cavity with an air space, mortar drop protection net, weep holes, and self-adhered membrane flashing. Interior framing consists of cold-formed steel stud framing, glass mat sheathing, closed-cell spray foam insulation, thermally broken z-girts, and a five-eighths-inch gypsum board ceiling finish. The structural support incorporates a steel framing beam with a stud clip and deck edge angle.
