Parapet Wall DesignBrief History
Biblical Times - Deuteronomy 22:8 - "When thou buildest a new house,
then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood
upon thine house, if any man fall from thence. ”
London – Building Act of 1707 – Banned projected eaves; Brick
parapets were required.
IBC – 705.11 – Parapets shall be provided on exterior walls of
buildings.
• Exceptions – Fire separation distance, floor footprint, etc.
• 30 inches above the roof to wall intersection.
• Same fire rating as the wall assembly.
• Non-combustible faces for the uppermost 18-inches.
OSHA Standard 1926.502 – Fall protection systems criteria
and practices.

Parapet Wall DesignBenefits
• Provide fall protection from the structure.
• Provide fire protection to the structure.
• Supplements design aesthetic.
• Hide roof HVAC components.
• Reduce roof wind loads.

Parapet Wall DesignBasics
• Slope the coping toward the roof
• Provide a waterproof membrane under the
coping

Parapet Wall DesignChallenges
• Challenging to ensure continuity to the weather, air, vapor, and
thermal barriers.

Weather/Air/Vapor/Thermal Barriers
• Weather Barrier – The building assembly component which
prevents moisture from infiltrating through the exterior wall
assembly and damaging assembly or interior items.
• Air Barrier – The building assembly component which
prevents transfer of air through the exterior wall assembly.
• Vapor Barrier – The building assembly component which
manages water vapor transfer through the exterior wall
assembly.
• Thermal Barrier – The building assembly component
which impedes the flow of heat through the exterior wall
assembly.

• Glass/aluminum are the weather, air, and vapor barriers for a glazing
system.
• Potential Problem – Air migration through discontinuities of the
interior air barrier could result in condensation formation within the
glazing system.
• Glazing framing connections.
• Anchor locations.
• Slab lines.
• Typically, foil faced mineral wool or metal back pans are utilized in
conjuncture with insulation to increase the system U-Value.
• Ideally, fully sealed back pans with a discontinuous gasket
at the horizontal member would be utilized to manage
potential condensation through the glazing weep system.
