  • Patent number: 8776447
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6696141
    Abstract: The invention relates to moisture resistant, through-wall, multicomponent copper flashing material and a continuous process for its preparation. Copper sheeting substrate having special properties is laminated on at least one side with fiberglass sheeting having special properties. The fiberglass sheeting is bonded thereto by means of a thin coating of waterbased adhesive, preferably water based polyvinyl emulsion or vinyl acetate emulsion adhesives. A continuous process provides the copper sheeting from a bulk roll to be simultaneously spray coated on both sides with liquid water based adhesive, forcefully engaging and laminating each side with the fiberglass sheeting, air drying and curing the thinly coated adhesive laminated fiberglass sheeting bonded to the copper sheeting. The final multilaminated flashing material has excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance.
