A Parapet Wall is simply a short wall that is located along the edge of a roof, terrace, balcony, walkway, or other such structure. They are used as a barrier against fire and wind-uplift.
If you think of a flat roof structure that is common in almost every city for commercial roofing applications, most will have a parapet wall that extends above the flat roofline.
Parapets are used in several different architectural designs as well. Think of them as similar to the image of an old castle structure, or of many of the roofs in London. Parapets can be plain, embattled, perforated, or panelled.
Long ago, parapets were used to defend building from military attack. But today, we use them primarily as guard rails, and for fire and wind-uplift resistance.
Different parapet structures include Fire Wall Parapets, Bridge Parapets, Stairwell Parapets, Parapets used in fortification, and Historic Parapet Walls. In Europe, parapets are sub-categorically defined as “vehicle restraint systems or pedestrian restraint systems.”
Brick Work in Siding & Rebuilding the Parapet Walls in Queens
Often, the brickwork above the roofline (on the parapet wall) can bow, lean, loose mortar or crack, all of which are unsafe. Missing mortar can allow moisture in which makes the entire structure dangerous.
The more a roof is exposed to harsh weather, the more attention the parapet wall will require. If not properly maintained, problems with the structure will cause roofing problems as well.
Clay and limestone are the two most common materials used to crown parapet walls. And the majority of the problems with parapets is when they start to decay, are defective, or were improperly installed. When it rains, water will penetrate through parapet walls and the structure will begin to deteriorate.
