Parapet cap

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing parapet caps are disclosed. According to some implementations, a parapet cap includes one or more parapet cap segments. In some implementations, a parapet cap segment includes an insulative segment body. In some cases, the insulative segment body is fully or partially coated with an exterior finish. According to some implementations, the insulative segment body includes one or more first lips, one or more second lips, and one or more cap portions, wherein the first lip, the second lip, and the cap portion define a receptacle configured to receive a portion of a wall.

         5 . The parapet cap of  claim 4 , wherein the front face is disposed on the first lip, the rear face is disposed on the second lip, and the top face is disposed on the cap portion. 
     
     
         6 . The parapet cap of  claim 1 , wherein the first parapet cap segment further comprises a decorative feature. 
     
     
         7 . The parapet cap of  claim 6 , wherein the decorative feature comprises a decorative façade. 
     
     
         8 . The parapet cap of  claim 6 , wherein the decorative feature protrudes beyond the first lip. 
     
     
         9 . The parapet cap of  claim 6 , wherein the insulative segment body forms at least a portion of the decorative feature. 
     
     
         10 . The parapet cap of  claim 1 , wherein the receptacle comprises a slot configured to receive a portion of the wall. 
     
     
         11 . The parapet cap of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior finish comprises at least one of stucco and cement. 
     
     
         12 . A parapet cap segment comprising:
 a first lip;   a second lip;   a cap portion;   a front face formed on an exterior portion of the first lip;   a rear face formed on an exterior portion of the second lip;   a top face formed on an exterior portion of the cap portion;   a first end comprising a first end face;   a second end comprising a second end face;   a receptacle defined by an interior portion of the first lip, an interior portion of the second lip, and an interior portion of the cap portion, the receptacle being configured to receive a portion of a wall; and   a segment body comprising an insulative material.   
     
     
         13 . The parapet cap segment of  claim 12 , wherein the insulative material comprises expanded polystyrene foam. 
     
     
         14 . The parapet cap segment of  claim 12 , further comprising an exterior finish applied to at least one of the front face, the rear face, and the top face. 
     
     
         15 . The parapet cap segment of  claim 14 , wherein the exterior finish is applied to each of the front face, the rear face, and the top face. 
     
     
         16 . The parapet cap segment of  claim 15 , wherein the exterior finish substantially covers each of the front face, the rear face, and the top face. 
     
     
         17 . A method of providing a parapet cap, the method comprising:
 obtaining a parapet cap segment comprising:
 a first lip; 
 a second lip; 
 a cap portion; 
 a front face formed on an exterior portion of the first lip; 
 a rear face formed on an exterior portion of the second lip; 
 a top face formed on an exterior portion of the cap portion; 
 a first end comprising a first end face; 
 a second end comprising a second end face; 
 a receptacle defined by an interior portion of the first lip, an interior portion of the second lip, and an interior portion of the cap portion; and 
 a segment body comprising an insulative material; and 
   inserting a portion of a wall into the receptacle such that the parapet cap segment covers the portion of the wall.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising coupling the first end face of the parapet cap segment to an end face of an additional parapet cap segment. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the coupling the first end face of the parapet cap segment to the end face of the additional parapet cap segment comprises applying an adhesive to at least one of the first end face of the parapet cap segment and the end face of the additional parapet cap segment and coupling the parapet cap segment to the additional parapet cap segment using the adhesive. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the obtaining the parapet cap segment comprises forming the parapet cap segment.
