Abstract

A method for filling a construction joint space includes applying a primer layer to one or more construction member edges of one or more construction members, and chemically reacting a filler layer with the primer layer to at least partially fill a remainder of the construction joint space with the filler layer. The construction member edge(s) at least partially form the construction joint space. The primer layer can include an epoxy primer. The filler layer can include at least one of a polyurea and a polyurethane. The epoxy primer can be covered with the filler layer. The method can also include the step of applying a filler retainer to a top surface of the construction member to substantially confine the filler layer within the joint space. A system for filling construction joint spaces includes one or more of a primer layer, a filler layer and a filler retainer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for filling a construction joint space, the method comprising the steps of:
 applying a primer layer to a construction member edge of a construction member, the construction member edge at least partially forming the construction joint space, the primer layer including an epoxy primer; and   chemically reacting a filler layer with the primer layer to at least partially fill a remainder of the construction joint space with the filler layer, the filler layer including at least one of a polyurea and a polyurethane.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the step of chemically reacting includes covering the epoxy primer with the filler layer. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the step of at least partially filling includes filling the remainder of the construction joint space with the filler layer. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the step of applying includes using a two-part epoxy primer. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the joint filler does not include the polyurea material. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the filler layer does not include the polyurethane material. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of applying a filler retainer to a top surface of the construction member to substantially confine the filler layer within the joint space. 
     
     
         8 . A system used for filling construction joint spaces that is installed utilizing the method of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         9 . A method for filling a construction joint space, the method comprising the steps of:
 applying a primer layer to a construction member edge of a construction member, the construction member edge at least partially forming the construction joint space, the primer layer including an epoxy primer; and   at least partially filling a remainder of the construction joint space with the filler layer so that the filler layer contacts the primer layer, the filler layer including a polyurea.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the step of at least partially filling includes chemically bonding the filler layer with the primer layer. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the step of applying includes using a two-part epoxy primer. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the step of at least partially filling includes covering the epoxy primer with the filler layer. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the step of at least partially filling includes filling the remainder of the construction joint space with the filler layer. 
     
     
         14 . A system used for filling construction joint spaces that is installed utilizing the method of  claim 9 . 
     
     
         15 . A method for filling a construction joint space, the method comprising the steps of:
 applying a primer layer to a construction member edge of a construction member, the construction member edge at least partially forming the construction joint space, the primer layer including an epoxy primer; and   at least partially filling a remainder of the construction joint space with the filler layer so that the filler layer contacts the primer layer, the filler layer including a polyurethane.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the step of at least partially filling includes chemically bonding the filler layer with the primer layer. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the step of applying includes using a two-part epoxy primer. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the step of at least partially filling includes covering the epoxy primer with the filler layer. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the step of at least partially filling includes filling the remainder of the construction joint space with the filler layer. 
     
     
         20 . A system used for filling construction joint spaces that is installed utilizing the method of  claim 15 .
