A fitting includes a first mounting portion connectable with a first member and having opposing planar surfaces and inner and outer ends. A second mounting portion is angled with respect to the first mounting portion, is connectable with a second member and has opposing planar surfaces, an outer end and an inner end integrally formed with the first mounting portion inner end. A boss projects outwardly from the second mounting portion first surface and is disposable within a recess of the second member or a stiffener coupled with the second member. The boss has an inner end adjacent to the second mounting portion inner end, an outer end spaced from the inner end, a centerline between the boss inner and outer ends, and an outermost surface spaced from the second mounting portion first surface by a spacing distance having a value greater than zero at all points along the centerline.

A cladding element, for use in a building envelope, comprising a first face, a second face and a plurality of edges. One or more of the plurality of edges includes a mating feature configured to resist moisture passage between cladding elements when the cladding elements are installed on a wall or other structure. The mating features of each cladding element including one or more concave arcuate bevelled edges designed to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of the mating interface between adjacent cladding elements when installed on a wall or other structure.

A lap siding product with a unique shiplap joint that spaces abutting pieces of siding correctly from each other without installer measurements. The shiplap joint comprises a bottom element and a top element. A lap siding panel or board has a bottom element shiplap joint at one end, and a top elements shiplap joint at the other end. The corresponding ends of two lap siding panels or boards (i.e., one bottom element and one top element) together form the unique shiplap joint of the present invention. One or more drainage channels or grooves help re-direct water from the joint, and at least one of the channels or grooves also provides a visual element for proper spacing. An engineered “stop” on the underside of the top element also helps space the pieces of siding correctly, without requiring measurement during installation.

The invention relates to a panel for constructing a floor or wall covering. The panel comprises a substantially planar top surface, at least one core layer composed of a composite material which core layer is provided with at least one cavity, and a bottom surface. The panel further comprises at least one pair of opposite edges, said pair of opposite edges preferably comprising complementary coupling parts configured for mutual coupling of adjacent panels.

A wall panel may have a rigid layer, a first insulation layer made from a two-part rigid urethane pour foam, and a second insulation layer made from a phase change material. The first insulation layer maybe chemically bonded to the rigid layer and may also be bonded to the phase change layer. The first insulation layer may be positioned between the second insulation layer and the rigid layer. The rigid layer may be a finished surface or a veneer layer may be applied to the rigid layer.

The present invention provides a covering panel, such as a floor panel, wall panel or ceiling panel, comprising at least one substrate and optionally a top layer, whereby said substrate comprises a synthetic material and at least one filler material. The at least one filler is present in an amount of at least 20.0 wt. % based on the weight of the substrate, and said filler material comprises at least 50 wt. % talc.

A method for producing laminate composite materials, as well as the laminate composite materials produced by this method and their use are described. The laminate composite materials are sandwich-like in construction and based on halogenated polymers and comprise a first laminar structure formed from halogenated polymer and a second laminar structure formed from halogenated polymer as well as at least one textile mat structure based on inorganic fibres, which is disposed between the first and the second laminar structure. The textile mat structure based on inorganic fibres comprises regions with high air permeability and regions with low air permeability, through which the two laminar structures formed from halogenated polymer are monolithically bonded together.
