A flexible closure system seals off and insulates openings in external building walls or roofs where structures such as ducts penetrate the walls or roofs. The flexible closure system also isolates the structures from the walls or roofs by absorbing rather than transmitting vibrations. The flexible closure system includes an exterior rubber closure sheet and an interior silicone coated fiber glass fabric closure sheet which are both coextensive with the opening, secured to the structure and wall or roof, and form a cavity which is filled with glass fiber insulation.

Flexible closure system for use in building construction

A flexible drainage gutter for use under a horizontal surface having moisture accumulation or leaks under cracks or expansion joints. A flexible, waterproof membrane is attached along its elongated edges to rigid flanges which can be attached to the horizontal surface itself or to support members attached to the surface. The width of the membrane can vary so that the membrane hangs down from the flanges a greater distance downstream than upstream, thereby providing for the slope of the gutter. Alternatively, the wall portions of the flanges, to which the edges of the membrane are attached, can vary in width while maintaining the width of the membrane constant to provide for the slope of the gutter.
