A corner flashing system is provided for sealing the corners of recessed window frames against moisture penetration. In a preferred embodiment, the system comprises first and second double-flap members, a half-cube member, and caulking. The first and second double-flap members, and the half-cube member are preferably made of asphalt or petroleum based material. In another preferred embodiment, the system comprises one double-flap member, a modified half-cube member, and caulking. In another preferred embodiment, the system comprises a single member that combines a double-flap member and a half-cube member, and caulking. In another preferred embodiment, the system comprises a combination member, a double-flap member, and caulking.

A corner flashing insert including a one-piece, pre-formed flashing with an outside wall, a recessed jamb leg in the vertical plane and a recessed sill leg in the horizontal plane, the recessed sill leg in the horizontal plane having a rear surface, the recessed jamb leg in the vertical plane having a first vertical height with a first distance from a top of the jamb leg in the vertical plane to the rear surface of the recessed sill leg in the horizontal plane. The corner flashing insert also includes a recessed back leg in the vertical plane having a second vertical height with a second distance from where the recessed back leg in the vertical plane joins the recessed jamb leg in the vertical plane to the rear surface of the recessed sill leg in the horizontal plane. The first vertical height is greater than the second vertical height.

Gypsum panels, sheathing systems, and methods of making and using the same are provided. A gypsum panel includes a gypsum core associated with a first fiberglass mat having a continuous barrier coating, the coating penetrating a portion of the first fiberglass mat opposite the gypsum core, wherein gypsum penetrates a remaining fibrous portion of the first fiberglass mat such that voids in the first fiberglass mat are substantially eliminated. A building sheathing system includes at least two gypsum panels and a seaming component to provide a seam at an interface between the gypsum panels.

An expansion joint includes a foam strip having first and second lateral side surfaces extending axially outward to an outer edge surface, and an elongated gasket having a laterally expandable portion adhered to the outer edge surface of the foam strip, with the laterally expandable portion extending between first and second lateral end portions. The first and second lateral end portions each define at least one of a laterally outward facing bonding surface and an axially inward facing bonding surface, with the at least one bonding surface being spaced apart axially outward from the corresponding one of the first and second lateral side surfaces of the foam strip.

A gypsum panel includes a gypsum core associated with a first fiberglass mat having a continuous barrier coating, the coating penetrating a portion of the first fiberglass mat opposite the gypsum core, wherein gypsum penetrates a remaining fibrous portion of the first fiberglass mat such that voids in the first fiberglass mat are substantially eliminated. A building sheathing system includes at least two gypsum panels and a seaming component to provide a seam at an interface between the gypsum panels.

An elongated sealing assembly arranged to extend across a rectilinear rough opening in a wall of the building and a window frame for supporting a glass infill in that window frame, the elongated sealing assembly comprising an elongated extruded flexible panel having an elongated first edge, an elongated second edge, an elongated first side, an elongated second side, an elongated bituminous strip extending adjacent a second edge on the first side of the flexible panel, an elongated bituminous strip extending along a first edge on the first side of the flexible panel, an elongated dart flange extending perpendicularly outwardly from the first side of the flexible panel adjacent the elongated bituminous strip thereat, and an elongated, thickness-adjustable assembly coextruded with the elongated extruded flexible panel to permit in-field accommodation with adjacent yet spaced apart gaskets with respect to the support of a glass infill in the window frame.

A corner siding product may include a plurality of panels. Each panel may include a front face with a simulated pattern, a hollow back, a longitudinal length extending in an x-direction, a lateral width extending in a y-direction, and a depth extending in a z-direction. In addition, the corner siding product may include a living hinge extending in the y-direction between the panels along side edges thereof. The corner siding product can have an uninstalled configuration wherein it is substantially planar. Embodiments of the corner siding product also can have an installed configuration wherein the living hinge permits the panels to be non-planar relative to each other, such that they are complementary in shape to a corner of a building.

An illustrative example method of making a concrete expansion joint insert includes establishing an insert body having two ends, two longitudinal edges between the ends, and two side surfaces between the longitudinal edges and the ends. A sealant is secured to one of the longitudinal edges so that the insert and the sealant can be simultaneously inserted into an expansion joints.

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.

An apparatus for sealing a hole or a shape in a surface, which, in an exemplary embodiment, may take the form of a sheet of a soft material containing an interior hole, an exterior surface, a top lip, and an outer area. It may likewise be contemplated for the sealing apparatus to feature a bottom lip. Part of the apparatus may be roughened or have a rough surface attached thereto, which may be imprinted into the interior portion of the body and the exterior portion of the body and the top lip, or both. An adhesive pipe sealant may be used along the rough surface and bonded to the increased surface area of the roughened region.
