The present invention relates to a work method for finishing an inner wall surface of a building, the method comprising the steps of: a) attaching a finishing tape to at least one of a board joint, a wall surface joint, and a wall surface crack section; b) cutting the finishing tape after attaching same by a predetermined length; c) repeating steps a) and b) for a space to be finished; and d) applying a paint to or wallpapering a building inner wall surface including a surface onto which the finishing tape is attached.

A multi-layered surface indentation concealment system including a plurality of superimposed layers. The plurality of superimposed layers can be disposed on a surface to span and conceal a surface indentation in the surface.

Described herein is a method of using an adhesive article on a gypsum board construction assembly. The gypsum board construction assembly has a first gypsum board unit and a second gypsum board unit defining a space therebetween, the method comprises obtaining the adhesive article, wherein the adhesive article comprises a first major surface and an opposing second major surface, wherein an adhesive is disposed on the first major surface and the opposing second major surface has a surface free energy of at least 29 mN/m, and wherein the adhesive article has an adhesion to gypsum board of at least 45 oz/in (0.49 N/mm); and fixedly attaching the adhesive article via the adhesive to a first and second attachment areas, wherein the first gypsum board unit comprises an outer paper surface and the second gypsum board unit comprises an outer paper surface and the first attachment area is on the outer paper surface of the first gypsum board unit and the second attachment area is on the outer paper surface of the second gypsum board unit, and wherein the portion of the adhesive article disposed over the space is non-porous.

A joint tape to be applied to wallboard is provided and includes a base substrate having opposing sides. In certain embodiments, a first adhesive layer is applied to one of the sides of the base substrate and a second adhesive layer is applied to the first adhesive layer, where the first adhesive layer is different than the second adhesive layer. In certain other embodiments, two different adhesives are used in a single adhesive layer. In use, the joint tape is positioned over and removably secured to a joint or corner between adjacent wallboard panels using the first adhesive layer. After the joint tape is in position, joint compound is applied to the joint tape, and the water in the joint tape activates it to form a secure bond with the wallboard panels.

A building system including a first water resistant layer secured to a building substrate, first and second building articles secured to the first water resistant layer and the building substrate such that sides of the building articles are positioned adjacent one another along an abutment line, and a second water resistant layer secured to portions of the first and second building articles along the abutment line to prevent liquid from traveling past the sides of the building articles to the first water resistant layer and the building substrate. In some embodiments, the building articles are fiber cement building articles. In some embodiments, the building articles include a plurality of integrally formed drainage channels and a plurality of spacer sections disposed between the drainage channels, each of the plurality of drainage channels defining an air gap comprising a liquid flow path.

A multi-layered surface indentation concealment system having a body including a medial portion and a flexible peripheral margin extending outward of said medial portion. The body can be disposed to conceal a surface indentation in a surface, whereby the medial portion spans the surface indentation and the flexible peripheral margin secures about the surface indentation by application of a coat composition to the flexible peripheral margin.

The present disclosure relates generally to building surface joint supports, for example, suitable for covering a seam between two building surface panels. In certain aspects, the disclosure provides joint supports that include an elongate layered structure having inside and outside surfaces, the elongate layered structure including a support strip that includes first and second elongate flanges. In certain embodiments, the elongate layered structure also includes an inner facing sheet disposed on the inside surface of the support strip; and an outer facing sheet disposed on the outside surface of the support strip, wherein the each of the inner facing sheet and the outer facing sheet is formed from a fibrous polymer material. In other embodiments, each flange of the first and second elongate flanges includes apertures therethrough, each aperture having a width that extends laterally across at least 50% of the width of the respective flange; and the elongate layer structure also includes an outer facing sheet disposed on the outside surface of the support strip.

A gap finishing tape for use with drywall applications includes a trim strip body extending along a central body axis, a hot melt adhesive extending along the central body axis, and a backing paper. The trim strip body includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side, and is at least partially constructed from a metallic material. The backing paper is at least partially secured to the second surface of the trim strip body. The trim strip body is at least partially embedded in the hot melt adhesive.

A joint strip for reinforcement of drywall panel joints as well as for a method for reinforcing panel joints i.e. around a corner of a window or door opening is disclosed.

A non-swelling joint tape for use with drywall applications includes a tapered trim strip body extending along a central body axis and a non-swelling backing paper. The tapered trim strip body includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side, and is at least partially constructed from a first dimensionally stable material. The non-swelling backing paper is at least partially secured to the second surface of the tapered trim strip body and is at least partially constructed from a second dimensionally stable material. The tapered trim strip body is dimensioned such that a first thickness between the first surface and the second surface at the central body axis is greater than a second thickness between the first surface and the second surface at the first side and the second side.
