The present disclosure relates generally to cladding, for example, suitable for covering a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface panel including a longitudinal panel body and a fastening element. The longitudinal body extends along a length from a first end to a second end and having a first edge and a second edge. The fastening element includes a longitudinal strip extending along the first edge of the panel body, a first aperture passing through the longitudinal strip, and a first reinforcing projection extending outward from a perimeter edge of the first aperture.

A method covers at least a portion of a surface of an existing structure with a repair structure. The method comprises: providing a standoff, the standoff elongated in a longitudinal direction and operable from an open configuration to a closed configuration; while the standoff is in the open configuration, mounting the standoff to the existing structure, such that the standoff projects outwardly away from the surface of the existing structure; closing the standoff to the closed configuration, the closing of the standoff forming a standoff connector; and coupling a cladding panel to the standoff by engaging the panel with the standoff connector at a location spaced outwardly apart from the surface of the existing structure by a void.

The current invention concerns coverings such as a floor covering, wall covering or ceiling covering, said covering comprising at least one substrate and at least one surface layer, said surface layer comprising a print pattern and a wear layer, whereby said print pattern is directly applied to said substrate, and further concerns a method to produce such coverings.

An advanced siding panel that combines a traditional siding appearance with improved insulation, structural integrity, and improved thermal characteristics.

The present disclosure relates generally to building surface panels, for example, polymer siding suitable for covering the exterior surface of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface panel including an elongate panel body having a length, a width, a front face, a rear face, a first edge, a second edge, a first end, and a second end. A lock is disposed at the second edge of the panel body and a catch disposed at the first edge of the panel body. The catch is configured to receive a corresponding lock of a neighboring building surface panel having a similar construction, where the catch includes a plurality of recesses. Each recess is configured to hold the corresponding lock in a respective position such that the catch is configured to secure the lock in any of a plurality of selectable positions.

The present disclosure relates generally to cladding, for example, suitable for use covering the exterior surface of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a siding panel including a light source. The siding panel includes a panel body having a length extending from a first end to a second end, a width extending from a first edge to a second edge, a front face, and a rear face. A first lock extends along the first edge of the panel body and a second lock extending along the second edge of the panel body. A fastening strip is coupled to the first lock. A light source extending along the length of the panel body is secured to the panel body so as to provide light from the front face of the panel body.
