About this detail

A roof-to-wall intersection features a metal panel clad parapet bearing on a steel roof deck and framing. The parapet top incorporates a pre-finished metal cap over continuous hold-down cleats, blocking, and plywood sheathing, separated from the single-ply roofing membrane and vapor barrier. The backup assembly consists of eight-inch metal studs, exterior gypsum sheathing, fluid-applied air and moisture barriers, and continuous rigid insulation. Exterior finishes include pre-finished profile metal panels and ACM panels mounted on vertical three-inch Z-girts. At the roof edge, a one-inch stud deflection clip accommodates structural movement above the structural steel beam and painted metal deck.
