  • Flashing for buildings
    Patent number: 5414964
    Abstract: A flashing product (10) being an elongated flashing strip (20) made of resilient material having a member or members (21) attached to one marginal edge portion (22) of the flashing strip and extending in the direction of elongation thereof. The member or members (21) each being a metal strip having slits or slots (23, 24) formed therein extending from opposite edges of the metal strip (21) in a direction across the direction of elongation so that the metal strip or strips may be non-resiliently stretched in the direction of elongation and when so stretched is capable of maintaining the marginal edge portion of the resilient material correspondingly stretched.
    Type: Grant
