According to one embodiment, an insulated structure includes a frame comprising a plurality of wall studs coupled together and a plurality of foam boards attached to the frame to form a continuous insulative wall. A plurality of fasteners attaches the foam boards to the frame. Each fastener includes an elongate shaft and a cap. The elongate shaft is configured to penetrate through a foam board and into a wall stud to couple the components together. The cap is configured to be positioned atop a foam board to distribute a load relatively evenly to the foam board. A sealing tape is applied across seams between adjacent foam boards and over the fasteners' caps to seal the wall. A sealing caulk is applied to secondary fasteners and penetrations to seal the wall. In some embodiments, the structure has a fastener density of about 1 fastener per 243 in.sup.2 of foam board.

A multi-position mounting system is provided for securing a wall panel or hanging to a vertical wall, the wall panel or hanging having a front surface facing away from the wall, a back surface opposite the front, and one or more side surfaces connecting the front and back surfaces. In one embodiment, the multi-position mounting system includes a notch disposed in the back surface of the wall panel, the notch having at least three edges, each edge defining a separate sidewall surface. The notch is configured to secure to a bracket affixed to the vertical wall, the bracket configured to separately mate with each sidewall surface of the notch, wherein mating the bracket with an adjacent sidewall surface of the notch slightly rotates the wall panel with respect to the vertical wall.

A girt alignment apparatus and a method of using the apparatus to shore wind girts of a building to level and support the wind girts to install panels and/or panelized sections to form a wall. The apparatus has an elongated support pipe, a base assembly at a lower end of the support pipe that supports the support pipe in an upright position, a lever assembly connected to the support pipe to move the support pipe upward and downward and one or more girt support assemblies attached to and extending outward from the support pipe to engage the wind girt. In use, the apparatus is placed next to a span having wind girts with the lever assembly in a retracted position. The lever assembly is moved to an extended position to move the support pipe and girt support assemblies upward to engage, level and support the wind girts.

A panel for a thin brick system comprises repeating and aligned peaks and valleys, with individual ledges associated with each valley, with at least a portion of each ledge protruding above an adjacent peak to provide a surface to support a product, such as a thin brick on the peaks of the panel.

A demountable wall system includes a frame component. The frame component may include a front channel that receives a panel of the demountable wall system. In addition to the front channel, the frame component may include at least one of a front cover, a removable back cover, a leveling system, a supplemental channel, or a joining system. In some examples, the demountable wall system includes a door support system for movably supporting a door relative to the panel of the demountable wall system.
