FIRE AND WATER RESISTANT, INTEGRATED WALL AND ROOF EXPANSION JOINT SEAL SYSTEM
A fire and water resistant, integrated wall and roof expansion joint seal system includes an expansion joint seal for a structure. The seal includes a central portion having an underside and at least one central chamber disposed around a centerline, a first flange portion extending outwardly from the centerline and a second flange portion extending outwardly from the centerline in a direction opposite the first flange portion. The system further includes a joint closure. The joint closure includes a core and a layer of a water resistant material disposed on the core. The joint closure further includes an end portion configured to match and integrate with the underside of the central portion to form the watertight, integrated wall and roof expansion joint seal system. A fire retardant material is included in the core in an amount effective to pass testing mandated by UL 2079, and the core with the fire retardant material therein is configured to facilitate compression of the core when installed between the first substrate and the second substrate by repeatedly expanding and contracting to accommodate movement of the first substrate and the second substrate; and the core with the fire retardant material included therein is configured to pass the testing mandated by UL 2079. Movement of one or both of the first substrate and the second substrate causes a response in the central portion to maintain the seal.
Pultruded fiber reinforced polymer building systems and methods
A composite building system comprising a structural frame, walls, floor, and roof is made of pultrusion fiber reinforced polymer (PFRP) material. A combination of PFRP, stainless steel screws and flexible epoxy can be used in the manufacture of a mobile or fixed structure. During assembly, an intumescent fire barrier can be applied to the PFRP components. Unlike traditional building materials, an exterior waterproof finish coating is not required when using a PFRP wall, floor, and roof assembly. The PFRP wall and wall assembly can be used with both PFRP structural framing and traditional framing materials, such as concrete, steel, or wood, allowing the PFRP wall and wall assembly to be used as a mid-rise or high-rise curtain wall.
FIRE-STOPPING PRODUCT
A fire-stopping material in a panel for an interior building wall is provided. The fire-stopping material includes a resilient, porous material at least partially impregnated with an intumescent agent.
Process for assembling a fireproof system within a stick build exterior dynamic curtain wall faÇade
An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction. The exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface, including one or more aluminum framing members. In particular, a process is useful for assembling a fireproof system within a stick build exterior dynamic curtain wall façade, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below.
Building panel fire blocking system
A fire blocking system for building panels includes a fireproof block held in place between two beams or studs on opposing fastener members. The fireproof block is preferably held adjacent a slab or other structure, and is preferably of the same thickness. Thus, fire and smoke is prevented from or at least delayed from passing from one side of the structure to the other through the building panel (e.g., from passing from one floor to the next). The fire blocking system reduces the use of fire proofing materials required for building panels, while simultaneously improving the fire blocking capabilities of the building panels to meet building codes for fire resistance.
WALL JOINT OR SOUND BLOCK COMPONENT AND WALL ASSEMBLIES
An elongate component for placement in a wall gap and a wall incorporating such a component. The component includes a wall-face leg configured to extend along a face of a wallboard and a wall-end leg configured to extend along an end of the wallboard. The wall-end leg is oriented perpendicular to the wall-face leg. The component further includes a flexible gap portion configured to be positioned within and extend along the wall gap. The gap portion is located on an opposite side of the wall-end leg relative to the wall-face leg. A blocking element is located in a space defined by the wall-end leg and the gap portion. The blocking element is configured to block fire and/or sound within the wall gap. At least a portion of the flexible gap portion is located on an exterior side of the blocking element.
Insulating Sealing Element for Head-of-Wall Joints
An insulating strip is disclosed. The insulating strip includes a support layer and an insulating material strip secured to the support layer. The insulating material strip includes a first insulating material strip part and a second insulating material strip part where the first insulating material strip part and the second insulating material strip part are spaced apart from each other.
Expansion joint seal system providing fire retardancy
The present disclosure relates generally to systems for providing a durable water-resistant and fire-resistant foam-based seal in the joint between adjacent panels. A fire-resistant and water-resistant expansion joint seal is provided which includes one or more foam members and a plurality of intumescent members interspersed within the foam member or members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance.
Liquid applied roofing formulations and methods of using the same to coat at least one steep slope roof substrate
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.
JOINT-SEALING ELEMENT WITH PREDETERMINED GEOMETRY AND SEALING ARRANGEMENT WITH SUCH A JOINT-SEALING ELEMENT
A joint-sealing element for sealing building-structure joints is described, especially for sealing against sound and/or smoke and if necessary against fire. In particular, a joint-sealing element for sealing on a building construction and/or on a building structure is described, especially for sealing a joint between a first building part and a second building part, with a carrier element and a sealing profile disposed on this carrier element, wherein the disposed sealing profile has a predetermined geometry.
Furthermore, a sealing arrangement as well as a method for sealing building-structure joints is described, especially for sealing against sound and/or smoke and if necessary against fire, with such a joint-sealing element.
