Abstract
A system for sealing a joint gap between structural substrate panels such as walls, ceiling and floors making use of a sealing member including a mounting section fixedly secured to one of the surfaces and a covering member extending outwardly therefrom into contact with the other substrate member. These walls, ceilings and floors can be movable relative to one another and thus the present invention provides a mechanism for sealing the joint gap between the substrates while allowing them to move with respect to one another. This is achieved by fixedly securing the sealing member to one of the substrates and urging it into abutting engagement with respect to the other substrate.
