An engineered, flood resilient, magnetically adhered, interior wall panel and trim system is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the system includes galvanized steel mounting strips, magnetically adhered receiver trims, base and chair rail moldings, inside and outside corner trims with receivers, and a plurality of magnetically adhered, tongue and grooved wall panels. The system components are manufactured from waterproof, mold and mildew resistant, insect proof, and recyclable materials, and due to the magnetically adhered attachment system, the present invention's resilient characteristics enable quick and easy removal and re-installation, in the wake of recurring flood events, by those skilled in the art, without the need for nails, fasteners or power tools.

A method of fastening a wall panel to a wall, according to one illustrative embodiment, comprises coupling a retaining body to a mounting body mounted on an outer surface of the wall adjacent a side edge of the wall panel. Coupling the retaining body to the mounting body may comprise coupling a first connector on an inner surface of the retaining body to a second connector on the mounting body, and positioning a retainer on the retaining body against a retaining surface on the wall panel to fasten the wall panel to the wall. Kits and wall assemblies according to other illustrative embodiments are also disclosed.

A method of injection molding a building product includes providing an injection mold with a plurality of gates located adjacent a perimeter of the injection mold. The method further includes commingling a first material and a second material into a flow, the second material comprising a color that contrasts with a color of the first material and injecting the commingled flow into the plurality of gates to form a building product. Thereafter, the method includes removing the building product from the injection mold. The second material extends through an interior of the building product and appears as contrasting streaks on an exterior of the building product to form a variegated grain appearance. The method also includes notching a portion of the building product, such that the building product has a substantially linear grain in an exposed portion thereof.

A wall base for sealing a gap between a wall and a floor is provided. The wall base comprises a base member configured to extend along a portion of the wall. A shoe protrusion extends at an angle from the base member and is configured to extend towards the floor and away from the wall. A heel portion extends from the shoe protrusion and is configured to contact the floor. A channel configured to receive the sealant is defined by the space between the heel portion and the shoe protrusion.

An external cladding system includes at least one panel of sheet material, a series of vertically and horizontally oriented panel mounting extrusions, and a number of spaced apart apertures passing through a topmost/bottom most horizontal panel mounting extrusions on a wall. The apertures extend along a longitudinal axis of an internal horizontal portion of the topmost and bottom-most panel mounting extrusions. In use, the at least one panel is held in place on the panel mounting extrusions via: capping extrusions and resilient sealing strips, which are located between the panel and the capping extrusions. One or more spacer elements are located on the horizontally-oriented panel mounting extrusions, which support the bottom edge of a panel.

A profile system includes elongate profiles (2) for terminating installed tiles with a uniform, substantially L-shaped cross-section comprising a fastening leg (5) for fastening to a substrate and forming a bearing surface. An adjoining, substantially perpendicular, boundary leg (6) forms a contact surface for the tiles and each of the front ends (12) of the boundary leg forms a contact surface provided with a receiving opening (13) for receiving a connecting element (4). At least one corner connecting piece (3) is configured to visually connect the front ends (12) of the boundary legs of three profiles (2). At least two connecting elements (4) are configured so that one exposed end is inserted into the receiving opening (13) of a profile (2) for terminating installed tiles and an other exposed end is inserted into the receiving recess (24) of a corner connecting piece (3).

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus, system and method for creating an airtight seal between a jamb and a siding panel on an exterior wall. An apparatus for creating an airtight seal between a jamb and a siding panel on an exterior wall comprises a stop bead running a length of the jamb. The stop bead has an at least partially flexible spacing strip and a rigid base panel. The rigid base panel is positioned to lay flat against the exterior wall. The at least partially flexible spacing strip is attached to an edge of the rigid base panel, and wherein the at least partially flexible spacing strip maintains a seal against the jamb.
