EWI to Existing Parapet Eaves [Version ID #72]
Detail summary
Section detail for external wall insulation to existing parapet eaves.
Insulation designed to deal with potential cold bridge at eaves: where loft or roof insulation meets external wall insulation with a limited overhang at eaves so integral gutter required.
Technical description
Junction of EWI to insulation at existing parapet eaves. EWI cut to form new parapet for new gutter installed as part of works. New insulation and membranes to existing roof.
Installation : Carefully remove minimum 750mm of tiles or slates, putting to one side for reuse. Note positions of existing roofing battens. Remove roofing battens to at least 600mm up the roof from the existing eaves. Roll existing membrane back but do not cut. Insert rigid insulation between rafters, allowing at least 125mm from the edge of insulation board to the next batten position up the roof. Install breathable membrane/ roof underlay approx 500mm up roof slope from front edge of EWI. Pin in place to rafters with galvanised clouts at upper edge. Dress over EWI outer layer so as not to protrude beyond the front face. Insert stainless steel pressing over the top of the breather membrane/ roof underlay and EWI as shown on drawing. Fix in place with self drilling fixings to every third rafter at inner upper edge. Roll original membrane back over new stainless gutter to lap new gutter by 200mm. If required replace roofing battens in original locations up to approx 600mm above bottom edge of gutter. Dress the existing membrane over this reinstalled batten. Insert last batten at approx 350mm up from the edge of the gutter. Install polycarbonate vent strip as shown in drawing, pinned in place to relevant batten. Roll the original membrane over the top of the polycarbonate vent strip.Replace slates/tiles, dressing last slate/tile so as to be just below the upper edge of the gutter.
