Claim:
A unitary sealing member adapted to be applied to a compound structural joint defined by joint lines in at least two dimensions in a building construction, the unitary sealing member including a non-adhering elastomeric portion formed from a material selected from the group comprising nitrile butadiene rubber, ethylene propylene diamine rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, neoprene and urethane elastomers, said elastomeric portion in use to overlie the lines of the joint and adhesive receiving regions located to each side of and separated by the elastomeric portion, the adhesive receiving regions to be adhered to material adjacent to the compound structural joint, the elastomeric portion extending along each line of the joint in use to allow relative movement across the expansion joint and wherein the adhesive receiving regions include a fabric and the sealing member further comprises relatively inextensible transition regions located between the elastomeric portion and the adhesive portions wherein the fabric is moulded into or adhered to a periphery of the elastomeric portion, the fabric being exclusively included in the adhesive receiving regions and the transition regions and not across the elastomeric portion.
