Method and device for resilient seal system

Abstract

A method and structure for providing a resilient seal system in the gap or joint between adjacent construction panels utilizing a foaming expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant, a backer rod and a seal. The foaming expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant is first introduced to the gap or joint between the adjacent construction panels. A seal is introduced into or over the gap after the foaming expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant has sufficiently cured. In alternative embodiment a backer rod is located intermediate the sealant and seal as a spacing member.

1 . A method of providing a resilient barrier between a first construction panel and a second construction panel, said first construction panel being adjacent said second construction panel, said first construction panel having a first edge, said second construction panel having a first edge, said first construction panel having thickness, said second construction panel having thickness, said first edge of said first construction panel being distant said first edge of said second construction panel, comprising: 
 a. introducing a foaming expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant adjacent said first edge of said first construction panel and adjacent said first edge of said second construction panel;    b. introducing a seal above said expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant and adjacent said first construction panel and adjacent said second construction panel.    
   
   
       2 . The method of providing a resilient barrier of  claim 1 , wherein said seal is an application of one or more from the group of acrylic-latex-based caulk, polysulfide-based caulk, urethane-based caulk, poly-urea-based caulk, and silicone-based caulk.  
   
   
       3 . The method of providing a resilient barrier of  claim 2 , further comprising 
 a. introducing a spacing member intermediate said expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant and said seal.    
   
   
       4 . The method of providing a resilient barrier of  claim 1  wherein said seal comprises an resilient member adhered in place, said resilient member is one or more from the group of neoprene, santoprene, silicone, and urethane.  
   
   
       5 . The method of providing a resilient barrier of  claim 4 , further comprising 
 a. introducing a spacing member intermediate said expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant and said seal.    
   
   
       6 . A resilient interface intermediate a first construction panel and a second construction panel, said first construction panel having a first edge, said second construction panel having a first edge, said first construction panel having thickness, said second construction panel having thickness, said first edge of said first construction panel being distant said first edge of said second construction panel comprising: 
 a. a first sealant, said first sealant being a foaming expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant, said first sealant being adjacent said first edge of said first construction panel and adjacent said first edge of said second construction panel;    b. a seal, said seal being above said expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant and adjacent said first construction panel and adjacent said second construction panel    
   
   
       7 . The resilient interface of  claim 6 , wherein said seal is an application of one or more from the group of acrylic-latex-based caulk, polysulfide-based caulk, urethane-based caulk, poly-urea-based caulk, and silicone-based caulk.  
   
   
       8 . The resilient interface of  claim 7 , further comprising 
 a. a spacing member intermediate said expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant and said seal.    
   
   
       9 . The resilient interface of  claim 6  wherein said seal comprises an resilient member adhered in place, said resilient member is one or more from the group of neoprene, santoprene, silicone, and urethane.  
   
   
       10 . The resilient interface of  claim 9 , further comprising 
 a. a spacing member intermediate said expansive elastic closed-cell liquid-impermeable sealant and said seal.
