Parapet walls are mainly found on flat roofs, extending the vertical wall at the side of a house, or building past the roofline. They're usually required when you want the roof to double as something like a terrace, balcony, facilities area, or walkway, helping to keep the area as safe as possible. Brick parapet wall It is the process of extension of the brick wall at the end of the edge of the roof. Parapet walls are the outermost walls that are constructed at the edges of the roof of the buildings A parapet is typically the uppermost reach of a wall that extends above the roof level and provides a degree of protection to the roof, gutters, balconies, and walkways of houses, churches, castles, apartment blocks, commercial and other buildings. It may be constructed from brick, stone, concrete, timber, or even glass. Parapet walls can be constructed using the minimum standard height of the parapet wall should be 3 feet. The parapet wall never is constructed less than 3 feet in height. At this height, the wall protects and ensures safety. The minimum thickness of the parapet wall is 9 inches. Unreinforced solid masonry parapet walls shall be not less than 8 inches (203 mm) thick, and their height shall not exceed four times their thickness. Unreinforced hollow unit masonry parapet walls shall be not less than 8 inches (203 mm) thick, and their height shall not exceed three times their thickness. To ensure the parapet wall is truly waterproof, ensure the membrane is dressed right over the parapet wall. This can be done either by dressing the membrane to the edge of the parapet overlapping your cann kicks and terminating it with a roof edge trim or it can be done before a capping is applied.

Am-Cat’s Team Ventilation licensed vendors HVAC Technician will install all connections with the Heating and Cooling unit and ductwork which will cost $1250 per run and an additional $125 cost per vent & Register of the system Each project can consist of $3,500 per unit to $15,000 on multi-units.

If your room is larger than 100 square feet, you will need more than one vent (at least two) to really get adequate airflow to the room. If the room is smaller, you only need one. Round – typically the most efficient in transporting air. They utilize less material than rectangular ducts and still handle the same amount of air. Rectangular – these ducts are made to fit building construction.

Flexible Ducts can be one of the most efficient types of ducting systems, with relatively lower installation costs, because They can be installed, commonly, without considerable planning and installation constraints. Increasing airflow in ductwork can be done by cleaning the air filters and ductwork.

Adding inline duct booster fans and/or air dampers significantly can improve airflow in weak areas. The average ductwork installation project takes about two or three days (about 8 to 10 hours per day), so you could expect to pay for about 30 hours of labor.
Ductwork installation costs typically range between $459 and $6,000. The cost /price for duct installation per 2-bedroom unit is $3,000 However, you might pay over $15,000 for a new ductwork installation in aggravating circumstances.

A Standard Framed 2 X 4 wall is between 4-4.5 inches thick (2x4's) as the interior wall, and each unit’s wall stud spacing will be specified in your state's building code. Usually, it is either 16” or 24”, “on center” (that is center to center). A spacing of 16” between the exterior wall studs is more common. 2" x 4" lumber is the standard size used in basement framing. It provides ample strength to the structure of the frame while leaving sufficient space to install electrical wiring and insulation in the wall. You may wish to use boards that are 8'-10' in length, depending on the height of your basement.

The subfloor sits on top of the joists. This allows your floors to have a continuous structural surface over the floor joists. There are different materials that can be used for the subflooring. These are wood planks, plywood, OSB (Oriented Strand Board), and concrete. Although using a subfloor adhesive (or subfloor glue) is not required by code, it is a standard practice that can help prevent floor squeaks by reducing the chance of movement at the panel-to-joist connection. Am-cat uses the tongue and groove system only along the 8-foot edges.

Check for signs of Poor Ventilation in Windows and glass that appear frosted due to condensation, discoloration of the floor, wall tiles, and grout, early signs of rust stains on plumbing, mold growth on structural surfaces like walls and wood., strong odors that don't dissipate, heat build-up that doesn't dissipate. Polluted air in combination with poor ventilation causes dry throat and eyes, concentration disorders, fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath, poor sleep, drowsiness, and dizziness. In addition, complaints may develop such as chronic colds or respiratory infections, the development of asthma, or other lung diseases. It is required by code in many places for building contractors to ensure adequate ventilation in bathrooms. They do not always do so. This usually results in insufficient ventilation, which can lead to future issues. Bath fans are sized according to the volume of air they can move, measured in cubic feet per minute, or cfm. The rule of thumb is that you need 1 cfm for every square foot of floor area in your bathroom. It is always best to install a bathroom fan to protect the building from moisture damage. An exhaust fan will ventilate the bathroom much more effectively compared to a window.

A Modified Bitumen Installation will consist of a slope of a roof properly known as its pitch flat roofs have up to approximately 10° pitch. insulating a flat roof is probably the most popular method for commercial roofs but can be utilized for residential roofs also. Every City and Township will have its codes and protocols, but all Licensed roofers are licensed by the state. After your Joist systems are secured and the sub-roof surface installed and leveled with its 10° slope Modified bitumen roofing shall have a design slope of not less than 1/4 unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (2-percent slope) for drainage. Am-cat Team Roofing applies a strong adhesive to the foam board (acting as the roof’s insulation, the thickness of the insulation as different diameters from Residential to Commercial), after applying and installing the foam board insulation on the roof surface and securing it with washer head nails. Then the rubber waterproof membrane adheres to the surface of the foam board. Two or more layers of foam board are normally used in this application to achieve the needed R-value.

Floor joists are horizontal structural members that span an open space, often between beams, which subsequently transfer the load to vertical structural members. These joists, part of the floor system, carry the weight of everything inside a room, including walls, furniture, appliances, and even people. The three main types of floor joists used in home construction are solid lumber, I-joists, and open-web floor trusses. square the sill plate layout on the foundation, cut, drill, and attach the sill plates, build basement bearing walls, where necessary, and lay out the joist spacing on the sill plates. attach the rim joists, in wall pockets, and cement, or cut and install the floor joists between the rim joists.
