MODULAR WALL UNITS HAVING FRONT PANELS WITH AESTHETIC DESIGNS COVERING A WINDOW FOR MODULAR WALL SYSTEMS
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to modular wall systems, modular wall units, and methods of installing modular wall systems for indoor environments such as medical treatment environments. In one implementation, a first outer panel and a second outer panel are spaced apart from each other to form a window, and a front panel is attached to front surfaces of the first and second outer panels. The front panel is formed of a polymeric material or a composite material, and the front panel includes an aesthetic design thereon.

Vertical Joint System and Associated Surface Covering System
A vertical joint system for substrates is formed with joints and which engaged by relative motion in a direction perpendicular to major surfaces and of the substrate. The joints are configured to enable relative rotation of up to 3 degrees while maintaining engagement of the joints. The joints and are further configured to form two locking planes one on each of the inner and outer most sides of the joint. Engagement about the locking planes is provided by transverse outward extending surfaces. At least one surface in each pair of engaging surfaces is smoothly curved. The joints and can be further arranged to provide a third locking plane parallel to and between the locking planes. The joints are disengaged by combination of a downward rotation of one joint relative the other then application of a downward force.

Metal panel wall cover system
Metal panel sidings have panel clips and a cover. The panel clips are mounted in linear arrays to a wall. The cover has a plurality of elongated metal panels having lateral side laps and a show side. The side laps extend inward from the show side. The panel clips have a first catch engaging a side lap of a first panel and a second catch engaging a side lap of a second, adjacent panel. The side laps provide vertical seams between adjacent panels. The first catch of the clips is mounted to the wall. The second catch is coupled to the first catch for movement from an unset position to a set position. The second catch does not engage the side lap of the second panel in its unset position, and engages the side lap of the second panel in its set position. Straps preferably are installed on the panels.

Individual locking wall panel system
A wall panel system for finishing a wall or ceiling with a panel frame extrusion for joining the panel face and panel back skin of the panels. The panel frame extrusion has a keyway into which key anchors are received in latched and unlatched orientation. When the key anchors along adjacent sides of a panel are in latched orientation and the key anchors along the other sides are in unlatched orientation, the panels may be arranged such that a panel in a row and column may be removed without replacing the surrounding panels.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING GIRIH STRAPWORK PATTERNS
A kit that includes multiple rectilinear elongate polygonal elements having five unique shapes, four of which are concave polygonal elements. In some examples, when arranged with respect to one another, the elements of the kit form a girih strapwork pattern. In one aspect, respective elements in a kit may include bezels or boarders along longer sides to enhance an over/under weaving effect of the girih strapwork pattern. In other aspects, one or more elements may be formed as a tray, and some of the trays may include various components or materials disposed in the tray (e.g., architectural surface materials, biological systems, various electronic components) to provide for a variety of creative designs and structural/sculptural installations for built environments. In some implementations, one or more such trays may have beveled rims so as to appear light and thin when viewed.

Insulation system for buildings
An insulation system for coupling to a building substrate comprising a plurality of insulation panels, bracket members and splice members. Each insulation panel includes a longitudinal slot. Each bracket member is formed from a polymer and includes an elongated body having a body wall, a first end wall and a second end wall. Upper and lower ribs extend from the body wall and are structurally configured to extend into the longitudinal slot of each of the plurality of insulation panels, and to elastically deform the longitudinal slot so as to effectively seal along a length thereof, defining a vapor barrier. A similar structure is on each splice member. The bracket members are positioned in a spaced apart relationship with insulation panels therebetween. The upper and lower ribs extend into corresponding ones of the longitudinal slots of the insulation panels, with splice members extending between adjacent adjacently abutting insulation panels.
