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.

Foam insulation boards having an improved shiplap edge for interfacing with one another are disclosed.

In a first aspect there is disclosed a support structure assembly (10). The support structure assembly includes a first wall panel (12) operatively associated with an opposing, spaced apart second wall panel. The first wall panel (12) including a channel (14) having two spaced apart channel walls (16) connected via a transverse channel base (18). The channel (14) encloses a resilient body (20).

An end cap, to be secured to an edge of a building structure enclosure component, which comprises a planar elongate seal plate having an interior face, an opposed exterior face, a first edge, an opposed second edge and a thickness. The interior face is adapted to be secured to the edge of the enclosure component, an elongate key is provided on the interior face of the seal plate, and an elongate accessory slot is defined in the exterior face of the seal plate, with the accessory slot having a depth less than the thickness of the seal plate.

A toe screw housing, for securing abutting enclosure components together, having a bearing plate with an interior face, an exterior face and a beveled upper edge; a toe screw well joined to and extending away from the interior face and including a fastener shelf; a toe screw support joined to the interior face, and additionally joined to and extending away from the fastener shelf, the toe screw support distal from the fastener shelf including a planar support surface oriented perpendicular to the interior face; and a fastener bore passing through the fastener shelf, the toe screw support and the support surface and inclined at a second angle relative to the interior face of the bearing plate.

A sealing system having a first seal plate with a first interior face and an opposed first exterior face, with the first interior face adapted to be secured to a first enclosure component, and the first exterior face defining an seal slot. The first seal plate is adapted to mate with a planar a second seal plate by lateral movement of a second exterior face of the second seal plate relative to the first exterior face of the first seal plate. A resilient shear seal, positioned in the seal slot, has a hollow seal chamber and comprises a base and first and second seal walls joined to the base and extending away from the base in a diverging relationship. A seal support is joined to an end of the first seal wall distal from the base, a seal closure is joined to an end of the second seal wall distal from the base, and a planar cantilevered seal surface is joined to an end of the seal closure distal from the second seal wall at a shear seal junction. The cantilevered seal surface is oriented at an upward angle relative to the base and terminates at a free end, and an end of the seal support distal from the first seal wall is joined either to the shear seal junction, or to the elongate planar cantilevered seal surface proximate to the shear seal junction, thereby defining the hollow seal chamber.

An enclosure component for a building having first and second adjacent metal sheets, with an insertion section on an interior edge of the second metal sheet positioned within a receiver section of an interior edge of the first metal sheet, the first and second metal sheets being bonded to a planar foam panel layer with an edge portion of an exterior edge of the first metal sheet received in a locating slot of an edge seal positioned on the edge of the foam panel layer.

A sealing system with a first seal plate having an interior face and an opposed exterior face. The interior face is adapted to be secured to an enclosure component, and the exterior face defines a seal slot. The first seal plate is adapted to mate with a second seal plate. A resilient compression seal is positioned in the seal slot, and has a base and first and second seal walls joined to and extending away from the base in a diverging relationship. First and second arcuate buttresses are joined respectively to the first and second seal walls distal from the base, and first and second planar seal surfaces are joined to ends of the first and second arcuate buttresses distal from the seal walls, with the first and second seal surfaces extending away from the arcuate buttresses in a converging relationship. First and second closure ends of a seal closure are joined to ends of the seal surfaces distal from the arcuate buttresses. The base, seal walls, arcuate buttresses, seal surfaces and seal closure define a hollow seal chamber.

The disclosed interlocking panel systems are portable, self-supporting, and modular. They may function as guards around the sides, rear, and a surface of a workspace and can be disassembled by one person and transported to a sink for cleaning or another location for use or storage. They may also function as structural panels for constructing an enclosure, such as a building.
