  • Skylight curb seal and method
    Patent number: 6418679
    Abstract: An elongate gasket material for sealing a skylight to a curb has a substantially constant cross-sectional shape and dimensions along its length, and one or more compliant members extending therefrom to the skylight and curb. The compliant members are adapted to accommodate a predetermined range of spacings between the skylight and the curb. The compliant members are angled with respect to their points of contact with the skylight and the curb so that wind pressure applied to the compliant members increases the effectiveness of sealing.
