Parapets Finished

 The parapets panels for the Terminal 2 Extension were delivered on 1st February and, winter weather plus COVID permitting I have worked on the rain-screen cladding on-and-off since then.   The walls are virtually finished but before the last few wall panels were levelled to perfection I needed to finish the parapet panels.   Today I can declare the parapets to be finished and the flat roofs are at last clear of tools and other gubbins.

Here is the top of the very long rear wall (wall B to those in the know).  The lighter panels are re-used from the original kitchen extension (Terminal 1).  The darker ones are new.  Both are RAL 7012 in colour code but the older ones have spent a decade pointing flat-on skywards.  The vertical panels below are a good match so this is a secret between you, me and the curlews.

Each parapet panel sits on 100mm or so of foam insulation left over from the main building work.  Besides filling the gap it acts as sound deadening in heavy rain and hail.   I am pleased as Punch with the straightness of the outside angle, to the right.

Here is the sticky-out bit at the south end, walls C, D and E:
