🌟 New Video Alert! 🌟
Hey everyone! 👋
I’m excited to share our latest explainer video where I take you up on the roof with my apprentice, Ben, to dive into the details of coping stones and parapet walls. 🏠✨ It’s amazing how much you realise you know when you start teaching someone else!
In the video, I go through:
Concrete Coping Stones: We look at the common issues with mortar joints and the freeze-thaw cycle that causes cracking.
Waterproofing Tips: I share my preferred method of removing coping stones and taking the waterproofing up and over the cavity for a more durable solution.
DPC (Damp Proof Course): We check if there’s a DPC in place and discuss the importance of proper termination to prevent leaks.
👉 Important Note: When I mention that contractors often don’t get this right, I don’t mean all contractors! There are many reputable ones out there, and we’ve worked with several who we highly recommend.
Another key point to be aware of with parapet walls is the importance of cavity trays and weep holes. Ensure the waterproofing never covers the weep holes, as proper drainage is crucial. The method I describe of waterproofing across the cavity on a cavity closer would be okay as it makes the cavity tray redundant.
Each parapet wall is unique and should be treated in isolation. This video is a guide to help you understand the basics, but getting the solution right is crucial.
