ABSTRACT:
In a parapet portion of a curtain wall, indoor side and outdoor side members of each panel unit mounted at the top of the curtain wall are connected via a connector made of heat-insulating material, and a damp-proofing sheet is mounted so as to extend between the indoor side member and a building body to form a heat-insulating damp-proofing layer, whereby the disadvantages that heat received by a coping from the external atmosphere would be transmitted to the indoor side of the curtain wall, resulting in deterioration of the heat-insulating property of the curtain wall, and that damp enclosed between the curtain wall and the building body would dew the inner surface of the coping, can be improved. Preferably, the coping forming a principal member of the above-mentioned parapet portion should have a two-part construction consisting of an outdoor side part and an indoor side part, and these indoor side and outdoor side coping parts are connected so as to be slidable with respect to each other in the indoor-outdoor direction as well as in a horizontal direction at right angles to the former direction, whereby thermal expansion of the coping caused by heat received from the external atmosphere can be absorbed by the connecting portion, and moreover even if there exist some dimensional errors of the coping, mounting of the coping becomes easy.
