Abstract
A sealing system for sealing the joints defined by three intersecting structural surfaces such as the top surface of a tub and two adjoining walls includes three generally L-shaped sealing strips and a corner piece for covering the corner where the joints meet and the end portions of the three sealing strips. The sealing strips and corner piece are held in place against the structural surfaces with a suitable adhesive and have flexible lips along their edges which press against the underlying surfaces adjacent the joints to be sealed. The corner piece has three connected walls, each one generally parallel to one of the three structural surfaces which define the joints to be sealed. Two lands project rearwardly from the corner piece, each land projecting toward a respective one of the structural surfaces. Each land defines the minimum distance between the end of one of the sealing strips and the corner, and between them the lands define a space for receiving the third sealing strip. The lands are contoured to match the contour of the third sealing strip. The corner piece also includes flanges which cover the end portions of the first two sealing strips.
