A sealing or guiding assembly for sealing or guiding a corner of a closure member such as a window (109) for an opening is disclosed. The sealing or guiding assembly is attached to a frame (8) comprising panels (22,24). Strips (91) of flexible material extend towards and meet at the apex of the corner and are shaped to receive the closure member (109) at the corner and are adapted to be supported by a corner support which forms part of the frame (8). A flap (170) of flexible material is joined to the strips (91) in the region of the corner and bridges across the corner between the strips (91). The strips include inner lip (102) and outer lip (103). The joins (160) and (162) between the moulded flap (170) and the (preferably extruded) material of the strips (91) is obscured from view by the lips (102) and (103).
A sealing or guiding assembly for sealing or guiding a corner of a closure member for an opening and for attachment to a frame for the opening, including strips of flexible material extending towards and meeting at the apex of the corner and shaped to receive the closure member at the corner and adapted to be supported by a corner support which forms part of the frame, and a flap of flexible material joined to the strips of flexible material in the region of the corner and bridging across the corner between the strips, wherein the strips include at least one lip for sealingly engaging the closure member, the arrangement being such that the lips at least partially obscure from view the join between the flap and strips.
A method of sealing or guiding a corner of a closure member for an opening having a frame, the method including arranging strips of flexible material to extend towards and meet at the apex of the corner and having a configuration to receive the closure member at the corner and adapted to be supported by a corner support which forms part of the frame;
A sealing or guiding assembly for sealing or guiding a corner of a closure member for an opening and for attachment to a frame for the opening, including strips of flexible material extending towards and meeting at the apex of the corner and shaped to receive the closure member at the corner and adapted to be supported by a corner support which forms part of the frame, and a flap of flexible material joined to the strips of flexible material in the region of the corner and bridging across the corner between the strips, wherein at least one of the strips include a first lip that extends towards the apex of the corner and a second lip extending from the end region of the flap of flexible material that bridges across the corner between the strips, the lips being for sealingly engaging the closure member.
