Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining a base formulation, obtaining an activator formulation, mixing the base formulation with the activator formulation, so as to result in a liquid applied roofing formulation, applying the liquid applied roofing formulation to at least one steep slope roof substrate, and solidifying the formulation, so as to form at least one coating layer on the at least one steep slope roof substrate. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a liquid applied roofing formulation comprising a first part and a second part. In some embodiments, the first part comprises the base formulation and the second part comprises the activator formulation.

A bathroom floor waterproofing system includes: a flat floor panel made of stainless steel; at least one drainage unit provided at the floor panel; side walls formed by bending a pair of opposite edges of the floor panel upwards; and a fastening unit comprising a male fastening plate formed by bending one of the edges of the floor panel upwards so as to be perpendicular to the floor panel and a female fastening plate into which the male fastening plate of an adjacent bathroom floor waterproofing system is detachably fitted and coupled.

The disclosure discloses a method for preparing a multifunctional ecological exterior wall, including: preparing a ceramic board of a ceramic thermal insulation waterproof layer; preparing a ceramic sound-absorbing board of a sound-absorbing layer; and installing a ecological exterior wall: leveling a surface of the wall of a building with cement slurry, and applying a cement bonding layer thereon; laying the ceramic thermal insulation waterproof board on the cement bonding layer, and applying the cement bonding layer on the ceramic board; laying the ceramic sound-absorbing board on the cement bonding layer and reserving a gap used to place a pipe; driving the screw-thread steel bolt from the surface of the ceramic sound-absorbing board into the wall obliquely; installing and fixing the pipe in the gap, which is reserved at the upper of the ceramic sound-absorbing board; planting a green plant on the surface of the ceramic board of the sound-absorbing layer.

A composite material may be used as a building material to provide desirable visible aesthetics, such as in a roof or facade. The composite material may include two or more materials, wherein a first material provides desirable qualities for appearance and a second material provides desirable qualities for strength or other characteristics desirable of a building material. Each of the first material and the second material may be transparent, such that the composite material is also transparent. The first material may be Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) and the second material may be Polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

The present disclosure relates to a pole shield for extending around a pole structure. The pole shield comprises one or more than one sheet of composite material forming a hollow structure having an open first end and an opposed open second end. The sheet or sheets of composite material comprise from about 50% to about 80% by weight of a reinforcement impregnated with about 20% to about 50% of a polyurethane resin composition comprising a combination of a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component. Two or more pole shields may be stacked one on top of the other to form a pole shield structure which extends the height of protection of the pole structure. The pole shield can be used for protecting a pole structure from damage, such as from fire, rain, wind, sand, ice, pests, moisture or electrical. The pole shield may also be used to provide structural support to a pole structure.

An integrated joint sealing system that is incorporated into the edges of a sheathing panel, which also may have a factory bonded weather resistive barrier. The edges of each panel are configured as a shiplap joint, or similarly functioning joint, that is present as either an overlap or underlap on each of the four panel edges. The arrangement of the joints are such that one edge will have an overlap and the opposite edge will have an underlap. A flexible gasket material (or materials) is factory applied to one or both sides (underlap and/or overlap) of the shiplap joint. This flexible gasket material, when overlapped with adjacent shiplap panels, provides a weather resistive seal to limit both water and air penetration.

The panel includes a water resistant barrier layer secured atop its outward facing surface. The water resistant barrier layer includes a skid resistant surface. The panels are made of lignocellulosic material. The water resistant and skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. A method for manufacturing the water resistant building panels is also disclosed and includes the steps of feeding paper onto a forming belt, depositing lignocellulosic material and the binding agent onto the forming belt so as to form a lignocellulosic mat, applying heat and pressure so as to impart the skid resistant surface on the paper, and cutting panels to predetermined sizes.

Methods and associated apparatuses are described herein that provide a tile alternative material. The tile alternative material may be manufactured by providing a substrate that defines a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface is configured to be secure, via an adhesive or otherwise, to a support surface. The method further includes coating an exterior layer on the first surface of the substrate, and forming a pattern element in the first surface of the substrate. Forming the pattern element includes removing material from the substrate and the coated exterior layer of the first surface to form one or more recessed portions.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a drain assembly that incudes first and second plates, moisture inlet and outlet, a flexible sheet disposed between the first and second plates and extending between the moisture inlet and outlet. The flexible sheet is configured to wick moisture. The drain assembly is configured to position in an opening in a building envelope assembly, seal between the moisture inlet and the moisture outlet adjacent the flexible sheet, and transport moisture from the moisture inlet to the moisture outlet to transport moisture from an interior side of an envelope penetrating component positioned within the opening to an exterior side of a water separation plane.

The present invention relates to a multilayer film comprising a layer (a) and a layer (c), in each case based on at least one propylene copolymer in an amount of at least 15% by weight, at least one propylene polymer in an amount of at least 40% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the layer (a)/(c), at least one multi-ply inner layer (b) based on at least one homo- and/or copolyamide comprising isophoronediamine units as a polyamide component, adhesion promoter layers (d) and (e), wherein the thickness of the multi-ply layer (b) is at least 40% of the total thickness of the multilayer film, preferably at least 45% or at least 50%.
