Seal assembly and light weight exterior wall system using same
This disclosure discloses a dry seal system for use with a wall comprised of exterior insulated wall panels wherein the dry seal system is used to seal the joints between the exterior insulated wall panels. The dry seal system generally comprises a seal assembly for sealing a joint between horizontally adjacent exterior insulated wall panels and may further comprise a horizontal seal for sealing vertically adjacent exterior insulated wall panels. The seal assembly generally comprises a first connector, a second connector and a vertical seal, wherein the first connector is attached to one exterior insulated wall panel, the second connector is attached to another exterior insulated wall panel, the vertical seal is positioned between the first connector and the second connector and the first connector engages the second connector to provide a seal.
Sealing strip for sealing joints between elements, and method for producing a sealing strip
The invention relates to a sealing strip (1) for sealing a joint (11) between two elements (12), in particular between building components, wherein the sealing strip (1) extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and has, in cross-sectional profile, two fastening portions (2) between which there are provided two separate adjacent sealing portions (3) which are separated from one another by a predetermined bending point (4) which runs in the longitudinal direction (L), wherein the sealing portions (3) each have a chamber (6) which is filled with a compressible foam, wherein the sealing strip (1) is formed from a sheet material (9).
Curtain wall expansion joint
An expansion joint configured to connect first and second vertical mullions of a curtain wall is disclosed. The first and second vertical mullions may each include an elongated body having an inner contour defining a hollow slot, and an inner sleeve may extend through the hollow slot of both of the first and second vertical mullions. The expansion joint may comprise a body, and an inner contour defining a central inner slot configured to receive the inner sleeve therethrough. The expansion joint may further comprise a first raised lip projecting from a lower surface of the body and configured to be inserted inside of the inner contour of the first vertical mullion, and a second raised lip projecting from an upper surface of the body and configured to be inserted inside of the inner contour of the second vertical mullion. The expansion joint may be formed from a polymeric elastomer.
Joint-sealing tape with predetermined geometry and sealing arrangement with such joint sealing tape
A joint-sealing tape is useful for sealing building-structure joints, especially for sealing against sound and/or smoke and if necessary against fire. In particular, the joint-sealing tape is suitable for sealing a joint between a first building part and a second building part, with a sealing element and an adhesive layer, which sealing element has a predetermined geometry. Furthermore, a sealing arrangement contains such a sealing tape and is suitable for sealing of building structure joints, especially for sealing against sound and/or smoke and if applicable against fire.
Electromagnetic energy seal for adjoining building modules
An electromagnetic seal is provided for preventing the transmission of electromagnetic energy between corresponding walls of adjoining building modules. The seal includes a first support extending inwardly from an end of a first building module, a second support extending inwardly from an end of a second building module, and a gasket assembly compressed between the first support and the second support.
CURTAIN WALL EXPANSION JOINT
An expansion joint configured to connect first and second vertical mullions of a curtain wall is disclosed. The first and second vertical mullions may each include an elongated body having an inner contour defining a hollow slot, and an inner sleeve may extend through the hollow slot of both of the first and second vertical mullions. The expansion joint may comprise a body, and an inner contour defining a central inner slot configured to receive the inner sleeve therethrough. The expansion joint may further comprise a first raised lip projecting from a lower surface of the body and configured to be inserted inside of the inner contour of the first vertical mullion, and a second raised lip projecting from an upper surface of the body and configured to be inserted inside of the inner contour of the second vertical mullion. The expansion joint may be formed from a polymeric elastomer.
Joint-sealing tape with predetermined geometry and sealing arrangement with such joint sealing tape
A joint-sealing tape for sealing a joint between a first building part and a second building part contains an elongated connecting element and at least two sealing elements which have a predetermined geometry and are positioned on the connecting element, spaced apart, side-by-side and running in the longitudinal direction of the connecting element.
Stackable expansion joint frame assembly
A system for attaching a flexible expansion joint to the surface of a building such as the floor of a building. The system for attaching the joint is configured to secure the joint and provide, in effect, a form up to which a top coat of material such as concrete or asphalt can applied over an existing floor structure. The system provides a universal base unit upon which common extension units can be attached and stacked to vary the height of the form for the surface coat.
Modular curtain wall and installing method for the same
A modular curtain wall and an installing method for the same are provided. The modular curtain wall comprises a steel structure module, a curtain wall module, and a first waterproof member. The steel structure module includes a steel structure body and a mount, and the curtain wall module includes a curtain wall body, a hook, and a first seal. When the hook is hung on the mount, the relative position between the curtain wall body and the steel structure body is adjustable in a front-back direction, the left-right direction, and an up-down direction of the steel structure body.
REMOVABLE AND REPLACEABLE ANCHORED TUNNEL GASKET
A gasket for concrete structures such as tunnel segments includes a gasket body having a bottom face configured to be positioned against a surface of an associated tunnel segment. First and second anchor members protrude from opposed side edges of the gasket adjacent the bottom face of the gasket. The anchor members are configured to attach the gasket to the tunnel segment during casting of a precast concrete member. The gasket body forms a groove in the concrete member and the anchor members form side channels in the groove. Should a defect be found in the original gasket, the gasket body can be removed from the groove of the concrete member relatively easily, even in the field, and a replacement gasket having corresponding anchor members can be snapped into the groove.
