A repaired skylight having a damaged dome mounted in a metal frame on a commercial flat roof with an oversized sheet formed of PVC membrane which is 12 oz to 20 oz per yard in weight and reinforced with a mesh network of fibers. The sheet is secured to the metal frame with sticks of termination bar about 1 inch high with pre-punched holes spaced about 6 to 8 on center substantially filled with self-tapping metal screws with plastic washers through the termination bars. The sheet is folded at the corners and pleated along the sides of the metal frame with the termination bars coming within inches of the corners.

A lightweight thermoplastic polyolefin roofing underlayment with superior tear strength is disclosed having a printed upper surface simulating the appearance of a finished roof. The underlayment is reinforced with a woven polypropylene scrim. Anti-skid materials can be incorporated into the body of the underlayment.

A barrier assembly for blocking a potentially debris-carrying airflow includes an elongated, flexible barrier sheet extending from a ceiling to a floor and a plurality of hanger structures engaging an upper edge of the sheet in longitudinally spaced relation therealong. Each hanger structure includes a connector tab adapted for engagement with a suspension member and a pair of diverging adhesive panels for adhesive engagement with the sheet. The suspension members engage ceiling members to support the sheet from the ceiling.

A device for mitigating debris travel including a debris barrier, a support-frame, and a ceiling-attachment. The debris barrier includes a ceiling-opening-interface, a closeable-user-opening, an inside-surface, and an outside surface. The support-frame is fixed to the ceiling-opening-interface of the debris barrier. The support-frame is configured to hold open the ceiling-opening-interface, and further configured to hangingly support the debris barrier. The ceiling-attachment is fixed to the support-frame. The ceiling-attachment is configured to couple with a drop-ceiling, and the support-frame is shaped to seal against the support-frame.

A covering of a damaged or uncompleted building; the covering including a film of heat shrinkable material stretched over damaged or uncompleted portions of the building; the film formed as a sheet comprising an assembly of lengths of the heat shrinkable material applied to surfaces of the building.

Slidable barrier arrangements for a structure having a plurality of stories are described. A first retainer element can be operatively connected to the structure. The retainer element can span a plurality of stories of the structure. The retainer element can include a plurality of retainer segments, including an uppermost retainer segment and one or more lower retainer segments. The one or more lower retainer segments can include a lowermost retainer segment. A barrier and the first retainer element can be brought together such that a portion of the barrier is retainably engaged by the lower retainer segments of the first retainer element. The length of the barrier can substantially correspond to the length of the lower retainer segments. Thus, the uppermost retainer segment can extend vertically above an upper edge side of the barrier. The barrier can be selectively moved, such as by sliding, within the first retainer element.

A method of providing covers over at least a portion of a roof of a storm damaged built structure that includes the steps of: applying a sheet of heat shrinkable film over the portion of the roof, the sheet having a leading edge and a trailing edge and being a film of low density polyethylene including shrinking resins; wrapping portions of the leading edge around a first batten and attaching the first batten to the underside of a first eave or to the facia of the built structure; wrapping portions of the trailing edge around a second batten and attaching the second batten to the underside of a second eave or to the facia of the built structure at a location different than the first batten; and heating the sheet of heat shrinkable film to bring the film into conformity with the portion of the roof, wherein the heating step shrinks the sheet of film tight against the built structure to cover over the portion of the roof.

A dropcloth coding system comprising: at least one identifier wherein said identifier is positioned about the edge of a dropcloth, wherein it is visible on at least one side of the dropcloth.

An apparatus for an entryway includes: a sheet of material having a top, a bottom, a left side, and a right side, and a sleeve at the top of the sheet of material. The sheet of material has an opening extending to the bottom of the sheet of material between the left side and the right side of the sheet of material from a position below the sleeve. The opening has a left seam and a right seam, wherein a first magnet is positioned at the left seam of the opening and a second magnet is positioned at the right seam of the opening, wherein the first and second magnets are magnetically coupled. A variable-length cross member has a first end and a second end. The cross member is positioned in the sleeve and includes a first securing mechanism at the first end and a second securing mechanism at the second end that secure the cross member respectively to body portions of a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole.

A joining part for a multipurpose system for partitioning a premise and protecting it, regardless of its configuration, in particular angular, includes a contact pad with a bearing surface comprising a cylinder. Two superposed rings are fitted around the cylinder of the pad and are mounted so as to rotate with respect to one another. Each ring includes a protrusion for fastening a longitudinal element of the partitioning system. The joining part also includes a support base for a telescopic prop. The support base and the contact pad include complementary fastening means configured such that the rings are free to rotate about the cylinder but butt against the pad and the base.
