A sealing element, in particular for sealing a frame element with respect to a building component, having a sandwich structure, including: a metallic primary layer which is creped at least in certain regions to form an elongation reserve of the sealing element; a secondary layer; and a bitumen-including filling layer which is arranged between the primary layer and the secondary layer.

An expansion joint seal includes a central portion having at least one central chamber disposed around a centerline, a first flange portion extending outwardly from the centerline and a second flange portion extending outwardly from the centerline in a direction opposite the first flange portion. When installed on the structure, the first flange portion is attachable to a first substrate of the structure and the second flange portion is attachable to a second substrate of the structure such that the central portion is disposed within and seals a gap formed between the first substrate and the second substrate of the structure. Movement of one or both of the first substrate and the second substrate causes a response in the central portion to maintain the seal.

The present disclosure relates particularly to photovoltaic roofing systems for use in photovoltaically generating electrical energy, specifically, the use of bottom flashings in such systems. Methods for installing such systems and replacing non-photovoltaic roofing elements in such systems are also described.

The sealing device for construction comprises a duct and a linking member mounted around and rigidly connected to the duct, wherein the duct comprises: an axial main portion around which the linking member is mounted, a radial bead formed on the main portion and extending radially outwards, and a distal end portion extending the main portion radially outwards and which is axially facing the bead to form therebetween an outwardly radially open annular mounting slot, the distal end portion extending radially beyond the bead, the main portion, the distal end portion and the bead of the duct being made of one piece, the linking member being mounted in the mounting slot and gripped axially between the bead and the distal end portion of the duct.

Disclosed herein is a roof mount installation assembly. The roof mount installation assembly includes a roof mount, a flashing patch, and an adapter cap. The roof mount has a base and a threaded post. The flashing patch has an opening. The flashing patch is configured to surround the base. The opening is configured to allow the threaded post to extend therethrough. The adapter cap is configured to be removably mounted over the flashing patch. The adapter cap is configured to apply a force to the flashing patch for sealing the flashing patch around the roof mount.

A roof curb supported by an upstanding support curb to support various objects including, but not limited to, screens, architectural screens, catwalks, lighting, speakers, security apparatus, cameras, weather indicators, electronic devices, antennae, sound dampening materials, advertising, and security cages. The roof curb includes a top curb portion and two or more spaced, generally horizontal extending support members which then, in turn, support one or more objects such that no portion of the object(s) comes into contact with the underlying roof.

The invention is directed to a synthetic flashing material, to a method of preparing the synthetic flashing material, and to a method for using the synthetic flashing material, and to the use as insulating material. The synthetic flashing material comprises an amount of polymer material of 75 wt. % or more, wherein the content of metals in the synthetic flashing material is 10 wt. % or less.

A mounting device (100) for installation on a hollow rib of a panel is disclosed. The mounting device (100) includes a mounting body (102), an insert (160), and at least one clamping fastener (180). The mounting body (102) includes an upper section or base (104), along with a first leg (112) and a second leg (122) that each extend downwardly from the base (104) in at least generally diverging relation to one another. The first leg (112) includes a first projection (116) positionable in a recess on one sidewall of a rib, while the insert (160) includes a second projection (164) positionable in a recess on the opposite sidewall of this same rib. The clamping fastener(s) (180) extends through the second leg (122) of the mounting body (102) and forces the insert (160) in the direction of the first leg (112) of the mounting body (102).
