The present invention is directed to a wall assembly comprising a novel structural lattice frame comprising vertical studs and outwardly located horizontal furring spaced with thermal isolation pads therebetween at the framing intersections, foam insulation encapsulating the furring and at least a portion of the vertical studs, and an exterior air- and water-resistant barrier-protected sheathing fastened to the outward side of the horizontal furring.

An expansion joint seal for sealing a gap between two structural members that includes a coverplate, a snap-fit connector extending downwardly from the coverplate, a central spine connected to the coverplate with a snap-fit connector and extending downwardly from the connector, and foam seal members engaged with the central spine of the expansion joint seal. An expansion joint including spaced-apart structural members defining a gap between the spaced-apart members and the expansion joint seal.

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 may be disclosed. According to an exemplary embodiment, a soft material may be provided containing an interior hole, an exterior surface, a top lip, and an outer area. In an exemplary embodiment, a bottom lip may be further incorporated. In another exemplary embodiment, a rough surface may be imprinted onto the pipe seal apparatus. The rough surface 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. The rough surface may have a higher overall surface area for the adhesive to bond to, creating a stronger bond and preventing delamination.

An apparatus and method for sealing a grout space provided between a backing wall and a veneer layer. The grout space sealing apparatus includes a deflector that is installed at an intersection of a backing wall and a horizontal surface and a sealing member that is positionable over the deflector and extends onto the backing wall above the deflector and/or across the horizontal surface in front of the deflector. The grout space sealing apparatus causes water that has permeated the exterior veneer to run down an exterior surface of the sealing member. The water is directed along the exterior surface of the sealing member away from the backing wall and towards weep holes provided in the veneer.

The present invention is directed to a wall assembly comprising a novel structural lattice frame comprising vertical studs and outwardly located horizontal furring spaced with thermal isolation pads therebetween at the framing intersections, foam insulation encapsulating the furring and at least a portion of the vertical studs, and an exterior air- and water-resistant barrier-protected sheathing fastened to the outward side of the horizontal furring.

A bulkhead fitting device configured to sealingly link a conduit and a wall traversed by the conduit. This bulkhead fitting device includes a first ring sealingly linked to the conduit, a second ring having a flat, ring-shaped sealing face configured to be pressed against a contact face of the wall or of an intermediate part linked to the wall, an elastically deformable intermediate annular portion sealingly linking the first and second rings, a holding system configured to press the sealing face against the contact face. This bulkhead fitting device guarantees an optimum seal while enabling the absorption of forces and slight relative movements between the conduit and the wall. The device also helps to limit the propagation of vibration.

A profiled rail system (1) for covering at least one flooring end (11) comprises a base profiled rail (2) and a covering profiled rail (3), being connectable with each other by means of a mounting profiled rail (4). The covering profiled rail (3) comprising at least one covering wing (10) for overlapping the flooring end (11). The covering profiled rail (3) is mountable on the mounting profiled rail (4). The base profiled rail (2) comprises holding means for connecting the mounting profiled rail (4). Between the base profiled rail (2) and the mounting profiled rail (4) at least one elastic body (20) is provided, holding the mounting profiled rail (4) in an unloaded situation in a predefined position. The mounting profiled rail (4) can be pivoted relatively to the base profiled rail (2) by means of elastically deformation of the elastic body (20).

There is disclosed an improved wall panel trim reveal system and method which utilizes a set of vertical, horizontal and corner trim pieces designed to be fitted together. In an embodiment, the system includes horizontal trim pieces having at least one slope, vertical trim pieces having at least one tab forming a slot for receiving one or more horizontal trim pieces therein, wherein the horizontal and vertical trim pieces when installed together with wall panels forming a moisture drainage channel to direct moisture away from the wall.

A trim piece for sealing a work surface including a body having a first side, a second side, and a span disposed between the first side and the second side, wherein the first side and the second side are joined at a junction defining an angle between the first side and the second side of between 80 degrees and 100 degrees, a topcap is affixed to the span of the body, wherein the topcap includes a left side having a first wing and a right side having a second wing, an adhesive is bonded to the first side of the body and an aperture is disposed within the body.
