ABSTRACT:
Cladding units for a building and a seal structure for the joints thereof are disclosed. A cladding unit comprises a cladding member comprised of a framework and a face member attached to one side face thereof and fastener stringers for a waterproof slide fastener attached one each to the outer lateral parts of the cladding member, the fastener stringers each comprising a waterproof tape and an engaging part provided with a multiplicity of coupling elements attached to the waterproof tape as spaced at fixed intervals along one longitudinal edge thereof, the end parts of the waterproof tapes of all adjoining fastener stringers being integrally joined, and the joined corner parts of the waterproof tapes protruding from the corner parts of the framework. The joint formed between the adjoining cladding units is sealed by coupling the engaging parts of the opposed fastener stringers of the cladding units. The gaps formed between the end parts of the fastener stringers are sealed by attaching the relevant waterproof sheets through the medium of an adhesive agent or by means of thermal welding to the joined corner parts of the waterproof tapes of the fastener stringers protruding from the corner parts of the frameworks of the cladding units.
