About this detail

A glass guardrail and unitized Kebony wood screen integrate with a roof parapet assembly. The guardrail features a flat bar cap aligned with solid Kebony wood blocking between verticals, mounted on a steel plate baluster secured to the structural frame. The Kebony wood screen support frame utilizes threaded studs welded to a steel sub-frame with slotted connections to angles for adjustment. At the parapet, a continuous light gauge J-track or similar supports the coping with concealed fasteners, over a foil-faced self-applied membrane and lapped roof membrane. All penetrations are coated with liquid-applied flashing, or PMMA if within eight inches of the roofing membrane. The assembly ties into the Level 3 roof deck structure with corresponding steel connections per structural drawings.
