In some cases, a wall isn’t a wall. A parapet wall projecting above the roof plane may be a part of the roof. According to Webster, a parapet wall is “a low wall or railing to protect the edge of a platform, roof or bridge.” Laly’s The Science and Technology of Traditional and Modern Roofing Systems says it is “generally an extension of exterior building walls or party- and fire-walls that usually extend about three feet or less above the roof.” Why do we have parapet walls? Parapet walls can serve several purposes. One of them is fire protection. By extending the wall above the roof plane, a parapet wall prevents flames coming up the exterior of a building from immediately igniting a combustible roofing membrane. A parapet wall can improve wind-uplift resistance. Wind-induced catastrophic roofing failures typically start when wind forces lift the roof edge, and then peel back the entire roof system. A parapet wall helps prevent elevated wind pressure from compromising the vulnerable roof edge. Parapet Definition and Examples in Architecture architecture.about.com › ... › P: Architecture Terms Starting With P Definition: ***A parapet is a low wall projecting from the edge of a platform, terrace, or roof***. ***Parapets may rise above the cornice of a building*** or form the upper portion of a defensive wall on a castle.
