A water-draining joint sealing tape can be used universally for different profile dimensions, for sealing structural joints against sound and/or smoke and optionally against fire. A joint sealing tape for sealing a joint between a first component and a second component can include an elongate connecting element and at least two sealing elements which are positioned on the connecting element so as to be spaced apart next to one another and so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the connecting element. The sealing elements and the connecting element can include a one piece open-cell, slow-burning foam and encased by a plastic film, which tape has at least one opening in the plastic film on an underside of each sealing element. Furthermore, a water-draining sealing arrangement for sealing structural joints can be utilized.

A flashing includes a first edge, a second edge opposite from the first edge, a first surface, and a second surface on an opposite side of the flashing from the first surface. The first surface and the second surface extend between the first edge and the second edge. The first surface includes a hydrophobic region and a hydrophilic region.

A method for producing sealing tape rolls of flexible, compressible foam having at least one external, radially oriented barrier layer comprises the steps of providing a foam web of flexible foam; forming a foam-barrier layer web by application of a barrier layer to a top surface and/or a bottom surface of the foam web; producing a plurality of sealing tape strips by introducing at least one continuous cut into the foam-barrier layer web in a longitudinal direction of the foam-barrier layer web and perpendicularly to the at least one barrier layer; and winding up each sealing tape strip of the plurality of sealing tape strips into a roll in such a way that the at least one barrier layer extends in the radial direction and is arranged on at least one of the two axial end surfaces of the roll.

A dead stop type projection window assembly includes a free-standing frame and at least one insert window. The free-standing frame includes a top member, a base member spaced below the top member, at least two mullions vertically extending between the top member and the base member and spaced apart to form an insert window opening therebetween, and a stop extending along a perimeter of the insert window opening. The insert window is secured to the free-standing frame at the insert window opening and is sealed at the stop with sealant to close the insert window opening. The free-standing frame also includes a sealant dam extending from the stop and engaging the insert window to resist flow of the sealant toward the window frame opening between the stop and the insert window.

A dead stop type projection window assembly includes a free-standing frame and at least one independent insert window. The free-standing frame includes a top member, a base member spaced below the top member, at least two mullions vertically extending between the top member and the base member and spaced apart to form an insert window opening therebetween, and a stop extending along a perimeter of the insert window opening. The insert window is secured to the free-standing frame at the insert window opening. The free-standing frame further includes at least one preformed seal member engaging the insert window to seal closed the window frame opening with a wind/water tight seal. The preformed gasket can extend from the stop to the insert window and/or can extend from at least one of the mullions to the insert window.
