A modular wall overlay system for installation on a support surface includes a frame; and a cover securely retained on the frame by a tensioning system whereby the cover is free of direct attachment to the frame but rather is retained under tension on the frame by the tensioning system. The frame includes a plurality of frame pieces and a plurality of corner brackets. The frame pieces are directly coupled to respective corner brackets but are free of direct coupling to one another.

A modular wall overlay system for installation on a support surface includes a frame; a cover that is securely, yet detachably, retained on and along a front face of the frame by a tensioning mechanism that is configured to tension the cover; and elastic corner inserts that are disposed in corners of the frame and include curved outer surfaces that are configured to permit the cover to be stretched over the elastic corner inserts creating radiused corners and preventing tearing of the cover in corners thereof when the cover is tensioned by the tensioning mechanism.

A modular wall overlay system for installation on a support surface includes an outer frame having a pair of opposing ends and a pair of opposing sides and a customizable inner frame that is coupled to the outer frame. The inner frame includes a plurality of transverse supports that extend between the opposing sides and a plurality of longitudinal supports that extend between the opposing ends. The longitudinal supports and the transverse supports lie in a common plane defined within the outer frame. The system further includes a cover that is securely retained on the outer frame.

A horizontal support apparatus and method are provided for use with any structure having a horizontal span, including but not limited to doors, garages, and windows. The horizontal support apparatus may include two support columns, a lintel that is configured to be attached to the support columns, and that includes a vertical flange and a horizontal flange. The apparatus may include two lift bolts coupled to two end portions of the horizontal flange. The two lift bolts may be configured to respectively raise the two end portions of the horizontal flange. The apparatus may include two rotatable lift nuts that, when rotated, raise the lift bolts to engage and raise the two ends of the horizontal flange.

A housing barrier for concealing fasteners of an aluminum extruded framing with spline groove. A housing is configured to connect to an extruded framing with spline groove. The housing has a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall. The first wall is connected to the second wall. The second wall is connected to the third wall. The first wall and the third wall of the housing are oriented in a parallel orientation forming a u-shaped compartment. At least one wall has a spline groove and a protrusion. The spline groove is located on an outer side of the wall and the protrusion is located on an inner side of the wall. The protrusion is located on an opposite side of the wall having the spline groove of the housing. The protrusion is configured to interlock with the spline groove of the extruded framing.

A corner hardware kit for completing a frame corner that is defined by a first frame element and a second frame element includes a corner bracket having a first portion for attachment to the first frame element and a second portion for attachment to the second frame element. The corner bracket has an upstanding foot that protrudes rearwardly therefrom and carries a coupling member at a distal end thereof. The kit also includes an elastic corner insert that has a curved outer surface and has a pair of first coupling elements for mating to a pair of second coupling elements that are associated with the first and second frame elements to complete the corner of the frame.
