ABSTRACT:
A sealing system for sealing the junction between a horizontal surface such as the top surface of a bathtub, counter top or sink and two adjacent walls is disclosed. The sealing system seals the junction of the walls and a horizontal surface which are substantially mutually perpendicular and define two longitudinal joints, one vertical joint and a corner at the intersection of the joints. The system comprises two generally L-shaped sealing strips each with a pair of legs extending lengthwise parallel to one of the joints and each stopping a predetermined distance short of the corner. A corner piece has faces adjacent the horizontal surface and each of the walls, the faces being shorter than the predetermined distance. Two generally L-shaped flanges extend lengthwise beyond the ends of the faces, each of the flanges overlapping with the one of the L-shaped sealing strips. The overlap accommodates some variation from ideal in the length of the sealing strips. An end cap covers an end of a sealing strip remote from the corner. The cap comprises a generally L-shaped flange contoured to overlap an outside portion of one of the strips adjacent the end of the strip. A generally L-shaped end face extends from the L-shaped flange of the cap with one edge abutting one of the walls and one edge abutting the horizontal surface. A pair of fingers extends longitudinally along an inside surface of said one of the strips, with the fingers extending one from each edge of the end face.
