A construction element is provided for forming a corner of a surface of a building, the surface including wall panels attached to framing studs. The construction element includes: a corner-forming surface that that is shaped to extend, in a cross-sectional view, between two separate wall panels, such that ends of the corner-forming surface, as viewed in the cross-sectional view, substantially match respective corners of the wall panels; and a fastener strip that, in a state in which the corner-forming surface is in its installed position with respect to the framing studs, is substantially parallel to one or more of the framing studs, such that a fastener can attach the fastener strip to one or more of the studs without passing through the wall panel.

The present disclosure is a method and apparatus for protecting building-related elements from collision damages. The apparatus can be designed to withstand high-impact collisions such as those caused by errant operation of heavy equipment. The method and apparatus are intended to be applicable to buildings already constructed and do not have to be implemented or considered before or during building design. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus can protect downspouts of warehouse sprinkler systems from collision damage that could result in pipe eruption.

A formable trim strip for use in connection with drywall applications includes two or more layers, including a trim strip body and a backing paper. The trim strip body extends along a body axis and has a top surface and a bottom surface. The trim strip body comprises a polymer material. The backing paper includes a portion secured to the bottom surface of the trim strip body without an intervening layer of adhesive material. The trim strip body is coated onto the portion of the backing paper when a temperature of the trim strip body is within the melting point range such that the bottom surface of the trim strip body contacts the portion of the backing paper. As the trim strip body cools to a temperature below the melting point range, the portion of the backing paper bonds to the bottom surface of the trim strip body.

A door jamb wrap for use on a door jamb of an exterior door. The door jamb wrap covers openings next to the door that are commonly found on door jambs edges open at the bottom. The door jamb wrap includes a bracket having an “L” shape that can be configured to cover the openings by fastening to the door jamb.

Disclosed is a corner bead for mounting on an internal or external corner of a building construction, the corner bead including a first flange and a second flange which are configured with a longitudinal extension and a generally L-shaped cross-section. Furthermore, the first flange has a first surface intended for facing the building construction and the second flange has a second surface also intended for facing the building construction, wherein at least one of the first surface and the second surface is at least partially coated with an adhesive element. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing an absorbent article of the above-mentioned type.

A doorframe protection device comprises a shell and an insert disposed within the shell. The shell is formed of a resilient material and has an outer wall, a pair of sidewalls extending from the outer wall, and an arm extending from each of the sidewalls to a distal end opposite the outer wall. The distal ends of the arms are biased towards each other. A lanyard opening is disposed in the outer wall. The insert is formed of a pliable material has a main body shaped to conform to and cover an inside of the outer wall, the sidewalls, and the arms of the shell.

Disclosed is a skirting board assembly including at least two hollow plastic skirting profiles and installation means to install adjacent skirting profiles to each other. The installation means include a first and second connecting element and in which the first connecting element includes an insertion part which is configured to be fitted in an end of a first skirting profile and includes a spherical connecting part, and the second connecting element includes an insertion part which is configured to be fitted in an end of a second adjacent skirting profile and includes a cup-shaped connecting part, so that the second skirting profile is placeable at an angle with respect to the first skirting profile due to the fact that the spherical connecting part of the first connecting element adjoins the cup-shaped connecting part of the second connecting element.

A cargo net anchor guard mountable to an aircraft's cargo hold wall adjacent to an anchor clip assemblies. The cargo net anchor guard is configured to block cargo from impacting at least the anchor clip assembly. The cargo net anchor guard has a ramped deflection surface that can deflect moving cargo inwardly away from the wall and into the cargo net substantially without impacting the anchor clip assembly.
