A prefabricated flashing product for an opening in an exterior surface of a structure includes a generally planar flange shaped to conform to the exterior surface, the flange extending outwardly from an entire perimeter of an aperture therein that corresponds to the opening, and a return that seals to the flange about the aperture and extends substantially perpendicularly therefrom toward an inward direction of the opening. The flange and the return are monolithically formed of a waterproof material. A method of integrating a fenestration product into an opening of an exterior surface of a structure includes inserting the flashing product described above into the opening, and inserting the fenestration product at least partially into the aperture of the flashing product.

A load distributing and absorbing system that lies below a superstructure material which is exposed to percussive forces. The load distributing and absorbing system is interposed between the superstructure material and a foundation. The system has a barrier layer that lies below the superstructure material and an underlayment infrastructure positioned below the barrier layer. Included in the underlayment infrastructure are hat-shaped absorbing members.

A decorative sheet and a decorative member having both excellent antiviral properties and high processability. The decorative sheet is provided with a colored layer, a pattern layer, and a surface protective layer, wherein: the surface protective layer is provided with a first surface protective layer containing an antiviral agent and at least one of a heat-curable resin, an ultraviolet-curable resin, and an electron beam-curable resin; the addition amount of the antiviral agent is 0.2% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less with respect to the surface protective layer; and the average particle size of the antiviral agent is 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

An anti-fouling silicone composite sheet includes a substrate layer, and a silicone adhesive layer stacked on one surface of the substrate layer, and has a hardness of 5 or less measured with an Asker C hardness tester and an adhesive force of 5 N/25 mm or more with respect to a mortar test piece, in which a surface of the substrate layer which is located on a side opposite to the surface where the silicone adhesive layer is stacked is a surface anti-fouling-treated with a silicone hard coating agent containing a fluorine-containing silicone compound. An anti-fouling silicone composite sheet is capable of exhibiting anti-fouling performance and washability stably for a long period, easily attachable to an adherend, and followable even to cracking and shifting on the application surface; and a method for preventing graffiti by using the anti-fouling silicone composite sheet.

A decorative material having a design with an excellent tactile and a visual effect. The decorative material has a texture region on a base material, the texture region is composed of: a plurality of projection regions containing a plurality of particles with a particle size of 5 μm or more and 60 μm or less and independent of each other; and a gap region between the projection regions, and the average diameter of the circumscribed circles of the projection regions, when the texture region is viewed in plan view, is 100 μm or more and 500 μm or less.

A flexible, profile-bar-based screen is provided includes a flexible cord (e.g., a braided stainless-steel cable) that strings together several cross members (e.g., profile bars) in a pattern to create the screen. Flexible spacers ensure that the cross members remain generally parallel, while allowing the cord to flex in any direction. Each end of the cord includes a cap (e.g., nut, washer, tacking, etc., combinations thereof) to prevent edge cross members from falling off the cord.

A decorative sheet which ensures good incombustibility, processability and weatherability along with weatherability, contamination resistance and solvent resistance. An incombustible decorative sheet having incombustibility includes a weather-resistant resin layer and a fluorine resin layer laminated on a substrate layer in this order, wherein the weather-resistant resin layer is made of a mixture of an acrylic resin and an acrylic resin-based rubber having a ratio by mass between the acrylic resin-based rubber and the acrylic resin within a range of 30:70 to 60:40. The ratio between the fluorine resin layer and the weather-resistant resin layer is within a range of 10:90 to 40:60.
