Abstract: Cladding units for a building and a seal structure for the joints thereof are disclosed. A cladding unit comprises a cladding member consisting of a framework and a face member attached to one side face thereof and fastener stringers for waterproof slide fasteners attached one each to the outer lateral parts of the cladding member. In a seal structure for the joint to be formed between the opposed frameworks of the cladding units mutually adjoined and attached to the backing member on the building, the joint formed between the adjoining cladding units is sealed by uniting the engaging parts of the opposed fastener stringers of these cladding units and the gap between the end parts of the fastener stringers and the gap between these end parts and the backing member of the building are sealed by filling the gaps with a wet sealing material.

Abstract: Cladding units for a building and a seal structure for the joints thereof are disclosed. A cladding unit comprises a cladding member comprised of a framework and a face member attached to one side face thereof and fastener stringers for a waterproof slide fastener attached one each to the outer lateral parts of the cladding member, the fastener stringers each comprising a waterproof tape and an engaging part provided with a multiplicity of coupling elements attached to the waterproof tape as spaced at fixed intervals along one longitudinal edge thereof, the end parts of the waterproof tapes of all adjoining fastener stringers being integrally joined, and the joined corner parts of the waterproof tapes protruding from the corner parts of the framework. The joint formed between the adjoining cladding units is sealed by coupling the engaging parts of the opposed fastener stringers of the cladding units.
