Some Significant Parapet Wall Benefits
Fall Protection
The main advantage of using a parapet wall is to act as a guardrail. This means it provides safety from accidental falls on the roof edges. The wall protects people and objects on the roof from the fall. Besides, the building codes are used to mandate the lowest height of the parapet wall for safety reasons.
Fire Safety
Another common benefit with the parapet walls is safety from the fire mishappenings. These walls become the firewalls in case of a fire accident and prevent the fire from spreading. It is a beneficial point for the buildings that are closely spaced. Besides, compartmentalization helps to minimize the risks of property damage.
