A simulated brick includes a polymeric core member, a mesh layer adhered to the core member, a basecoat layer covering an entirety of the mesh layer, and a finish layer covering an entirety of the basecoat layer. The core member, the mesh layer, the basecoat layer, and the finish layer together define a brick profile portion having first and second lateral sides extending to a planar outer surface to define a first thickness, and an offset portion extending from the first lateral side of the brick profile portion to a lateral end surface and having an outer surface defining a second thickness smaller than the first thickness, the brick profile portion and the offset portion together defining a planar rectangular base surface extending from the second lateral side of the brick profile portion to the lateral end surface of the offset portion.

Covering comprising a structure formed by a plurality of panels provided on their lower face with at least one guide formed by a groove giving access to a cavity and longitudinal profiles perpendicular to said grooves on the panels, said profiles having, in turn, a guide and clips housed simultaneously in the cavities of both guides of the panel and the profile, the clips having a resilient body that is housed, in the expanded position, in the corresponding cavity, said body comprising at least two legs, each leg having, in turn, a shoulder area intended to make contact with the wall of the cavity immediately adjacent to the groove.

A foam-based tape that is applied to the underlying structure at a location or locations where adjacent insulated structural sheathing panels or insulated siding panels meet and form a seam between adjacent edges. The tape may be two-sided, i.e., a foam core with both sides comprising an adhesive layer. The tape is applied to the underlying structure, which may be studs, framing, or an underlying structural sheathing layer, by operation of the adhesive on one side, then the liner on the opposite side is removed prior to installation of the overlaying panels. The overlaying panels are installed so that the seam formed between two adjacent edges lies along the foam tape, and is adhesively secured thereto. The foam core allows for sufficient compressibility of the tape to ensure the tape properly bonds to the underlying structural elements and the overlaying panels.

A mineral-based floor panel including a mineral-based core, wherein the panel includes at least one groove. The at least one groove may be provided in a rear side of the panel. There is also disclosed other such mineral-based panels, such as a building panel, a wall panel, a ceiling panel or a furniture panel. There is also disclosed a method for forming such grooves in a mineral-based panel. Furthermore, there is disclosed a mineral-based panel including a mineral-based core and polymer-based lower layer(s) attached to the core. A locking system of the panel includes a strip extending horizontally beyond an upper portion of the panel, wherein at least a horizontal portion of the strip is entirely formed in the polymer-based lower layer(s).

A panel system includes a first elongated panel including a first slope and an integrally formed first interlock that couples to a second elongated panel via an integrally formed second interlock to form a V-shaped seam where the first slope meets a second slope of the second elongated panel.
