Abstract:
A process for making a sealing material for sealing doublewide manufactured homes comprising the steps of:selecting an elongated seal core made of a foamed polymer having a generally square cross section;selecting a flexible polymer covering sleeve of flexible woven polypropylene sized for loosely covering said selected seal core;covering said selected seal core with said loose fitting covering sleeve to thereby leave slack material between said seal core and said polymer covering sleeve;shaping said loose fitting covering sleeve to said seal core by forming a pair of flanges with the slack in said covering sleeve with a folded portion of said covering sleeve;attaching said folded portions of each said flange together;cutting a predetermined length of said sealing material;attaching said cut sealing material around the perimeter of one attaching side of a doublewide manufactured home using said selected sealing material pair of flanges for driving fasteners therethrough and into said one attaching side of a doublewide; andattaching a pair of mobile home doublewide sections together having said sealing material sealing the perimeter between the doublewide sections whereby a doublewide is sealed between doublewide sections when the sections are attached to form a doublewide manufactured home; whereby a doublewide sealing material is formed with two flanges for sealing between doublewide sections of a doublewide manufactured home.
