1.1 Precured elastomeric silicone joint sealants, hereinafter referred to as seal, are manufactured in flat, cured, extruded shapes and are primarily used to span joint openings in construction. This specification describes the properties of applied, flat shaped precured elastomeric silicone joint sealants, hereinafter referred to as applied seal, that bridge joint openings and are adhered to joint substrates utilizing a liquid applied silicone adhesive sealant, specified by the manufacturer, hereinafter referred to as adhesive to construction substrates, to seal building openings such as panel joints, metal flashing joints, or other building openings in place of conventional liquid applied sealants.
1.2 Seals are applied in three different configurations:
1.2.1 As a bridge joint, the seal is applied flat on the surface to cover a joint opening. See Fig. 1.
1.2.2 As a beveled bridge joint, the seal is applied on the beveled edge of a substrate to bridge a joint opening. See Fig.
