  • Publication number: 20220034081
    Abstract: An expansion joint includes a foam strip having first and second lateral side surfaces extending axially outward to an outer edge surface, and an elongated gasket having a laterally expandable portion adhered to the outer edge surface of the foam strip, with the laterally expandable portion extending between first and second lateral end portions. The first and second lateral end portions each define at least one of a laterally outward facing bonding surface and an axially inward facing bonding surface, with the at least one bonding surface being spaced apart axially outward from the corresponding one of the first and second lateral side surfaces of the foam strip.

  • Publication number: 20210277707
    Abstract: A glazing system includes a fenestration unit having opposed first and second major surfaces, a frame member having a first major surface facing the first major surface of the fenestration unit, and a structural bonding composite interposed between the first major surface of the frame member and the first major surface of the fenestration unit. The structural bonding composite includes a compressible base member having a first structural adhesive layer bonded to the first major surface of the frame member and a second structural adhesive layer opposite the first structural adhesive layer and bonded to the first major surface of the fenestration unit. The structural bonding composite independently provides a sufficient bond of the fenestration unit to the frame member without other fastening materials.
