Copeland Building Envelope Consulting
We solve building envelope problems.
Our project at Fresh Pond Greenway Condominiums is nearing completion!
All cladding has been replaced including new fully adhered drained air and water barrier, new roofing, and below grade waterproofing. Landscaping and hardscaping should be completed over the next couple of weeks.
Parapet walls are raised barriers at the edge of a roof and are often extensions of the structure’s main wall and act as a barricade. Historically speaking, parapet walls date back thousands of years. Many ancient castles and military forts had defensive parapets constructed on the roof to provide cover for troops defending the structure from attackers. Parapets serve a number of purposes including aesthetics, privacy, safety, and protection from weather elements including high winds/airborne debris.
