Abstract: A combination through-wall masonry flashing and drainage device has a flashing membrane made of stainless steel sheet and a reinforcing cloth affixed to a first side of the flashing membrane. The flashing membrane has a thickness between 0.001 and 0.007 inch. When installed between an inner wall and an outer wall, water between the inner wall and outer wall is diverted to the outside of the outer wall by the through-wall masonry flashing and drainage device.

Abstract: A combination through-wall masonry flashing and drainage device has a flashing membrane of stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc, woven polypropylene, spunbond polypropylene, spunbond polyolefin, bituminous flashing membrane, polymer-modified bituminous flashing membrane, bituminous flashing membrane modified with styrene butadiene styrene, ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or ketone ethylene ester resin. A wicking cloth is adhered to the flashing membrane, whereby when installed between an inner wall and outer wall with the wicking cloth facing up, water between the inner wall and outer wall is drawn through a mortar joint at the base of the outer wall to the outside of the outer wall by the wicking action of the wicking cloth without the need for vents.

Abstract: A combination through-wall masonry flashing/drainage device having a flashing membrane with at least one reinforcing cloth adhered to at least one side of the flashing membrane. A wicking cloth made of a synthetic wicking material is then adhered to the device. The wicking cloth material is selected for wicking ability, life expectancy, mildew resistance, and strength characteristics.

Abstract: The invention is a laminate made of very thin copper sheet preferably between 0.0005 and 0.01 inches thick, aluminum sheet preferably between 0.004 and 0.04 inches thick, and adhesive between the copper and aluminum sheets. The cost of the aluminum, adhesive, and the manufacturing process combined are much less expensive than solid copper sheet of 0.020 inches in thickness. However, when the copper sheet of the laminate is on the outside, the aesthetic qualities are indistinguishable from heavyweight solid copper sheet.

Abstract: A covering for an expansion joint of a building is formed from an extruded thin vinyl strip having a relatively thick expanded plastic insulating strip secured to one side of the vinyl strip. A reinforcing strip of material may be bonded securely to the vinyl between the vinyl and foam insulating strip in a sandwiched configuration to provide dimensional stability for the assembly and particularly to resist shrinkage of the assembly in a longitudinal direction. The vinyl strip is wider than the foam insulating strip to define longitudinal marginal flanges extending along the length of the strip. Metal nailing strips are embedded in the longitudinal flanges to facilitate attachment of the flanges to the spaced building sections which define the expansion joint. The nailing strips are formed to define a weakened, longitudinally extending line to facilitate longitudinal bending of the flanges along the nailing strips directly at the construction site without the use of heavy bending equipment.
