The strip-shaped element is arranged in an area of the first transverse surface of the foam strip. A fastening means for attaching the strip-shaped element to a building component is arranged in an area of the strip-shaped element. A first section of the wrapping is arranged between the first transverse surface of the foam strip and the strip-shaped element. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A precompressed sealing tape for sealing a joint, comprising: an elastically re-expandable foam strip, extending farther in a longitudinal direction than in a transverse direction, which comprises two lateral surfaces and first and second transverse surfaces, which connect the two lateral surfaces to each other, a wrapping, which at least partially surrounds the foam strip, a strip-shaped element, which is made of stiff foam and has a greater flexural strength in the transverse direction than the foam strip, wherein the strip-shaped element is arranged in an area of the first transverse surface of the foam strip; and fastening means for attaching the strip-shaped element to a component to be installed in a building; wherein a first section of the wrapping is arranged between the first transverse surface of the foam strip and the strip-shaped element, and wherein the fastening means is arranged in an area of the strip-shaped element. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the first transverse surface of the foam strip is fixedly connected to the strip-shaped element. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the fastening means for fastening the strip-shaped element to the structural component is provided in an area of a side of the strip-shaped element which faces away from the first transverse surface of the foam strip. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 3 wherein the fastening means is formed as a double-sided adhesive strip. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the first section of the wrapping extends between the first transverse surface of the foam strip and the strip-shaped element all the way across the first transverse surface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the first section of the wrapping is arranged between the first transverse surface and the strip-shaped element only across a first part of the first transverse surface of the foam strip. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 6 wherein a second section of the wrapping is arranged between the first transverse surface and the strip-shaped element across a second part of the first transverse surface of the foam strip, the second part being opposite the first part. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the strip-shaped element has a flexural strength of more than 250 kPa. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the strip-shaped element has a flexural strength of more than 400 kPa. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the strip-shaped element has a flexural strength of more than 1,000 kPa. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the wrapping comprises a tear-off tab extending in the longitudinal direction, which serves as a pulling element for releasing the foam strip and allowing its expansion. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the wrapping is provided with at least one predetermined tear site extending in the longitudinal direction. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 12 wherein the at least one predetermined tear site is a perforation line. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The precompressed sealing tape of claim 1 wherein the sealing tape is wound up into a roll. ### Claim 15 A structural component to be installed in a building, the structural component with a precompressed sealing tape fastened to it, the precompressed sealing tape comprising: an elastically re-expandable foam strip, extending farther in a longitudinal direction than in a transverse direction, which comprises two lateral surfaces and first and second transverse surfaces, which connect the two lateral surfaces to each other, a wrapping, which at least partially surrounds the foam strip, a strip-shaped element, which is made of stiff foam and has a greater flexural strength in the transverse direction than the foam strip, wherein the strip-shaped element is arranged in an area of the first transverse surface of the foam strip, and fastening means for attaching the strip-shaped element to the structural component, wherein a first section of the wrapping is arranged between the first transverse surface of the foam strip and the strip-shaped element, and wherein the fastening means is arranged in an area of the strip-shaped element.
