About this detail

This wall section details a roof parapet terminating above a multi-story facade glazing and spandrel panel system. The assembly bears on a composite concrete deck with a single-ply roofing system installed over a cover board and tapered rigid insulation. Exterior cold-formed metal stud framing is faced with exterior gypsum sheathing, weather-resistant barrier, and continuous metal flashing at the transition. A top box framing supports the metal panel cladding and coping cap sealed with typical sealant and backer rod. The structural configuration maintains a minimum three-foot-six-inch parapet height with interior batt insulation within the metal stud cavity.
