Closing gap between new parapet and existing building

    I have a new building built up against an existing. I am wondering about best approach to weathering the gap between new parapet and existing, see sketch.

    I am thinking a folded metal cap going from new build to old.

    Any suggestions?

    Yes.
    Think carefully about how the flashing joints are delt with and the corners. I'd place a tough EPDM underneath laid to fall as secondary protection

    If both structures are block built, you could fill the cavity, pumped mineral wool might be suitable.

    Thanks Bryan.

    Good call with the EPDM, thanks.
