An expander member for use with fastening track for fabric wall coverings that allows for wider distances between the fabric and the wall to be covered. The invention allows for top loading of fabric as well as side loading. The expander includes a series of grooves that allow for fastening of the member to a wall as well as for fastening to additional members proximate the top and bottom as desired. Alternatively, one or more pocket holes can be used to secure the member to a wall using a fastening screw. In the preferred embodiment first flange extends outward from the member with a height shorter than the member forming a groove therebetween for the placement therein of the fastening track. An alternate embodiment includes a second top flange that is proximate the top side and the back that has a length shorter than the top side creating a groove therebetween for the placement therein of a second fastening track that allow for fabric to horizontally stretch atop the member a desired.

A wall and ceiling panel system which utilizes a concealed resilient beam for securing a panel to a wall or ceiling structure is disclosed. A wall and ceiling panel system having features of the present invention can comprise a panel configured for releasable attachment to a latching assembly. The latching assembly can comprise a resilient beam dynamically secured to a base bracket so as to allow the resilient beam to deflect relative to the base bracket during the panel installation and removal process. The panel can comprise a keyed flange having at least one locking slot configured to mate with the resilient beam, with the panel becoming secured to the latching assembly once the panel's key flange is mated with the resilient beam.

A wallboard panel support may include a base support member having two upwardly extending sidewalls which receive the lower end of the wallboard panel and space the lower end of the wallboard panel above a floor of a building. A method for installing a wallboard panel in a building may include attaching a wallboard panel support to the lower end of a wallboard panel, moving the wallboard panel attached to the wallboard panel support to a location in a building adjacent a stud, placing the wallboard panel against the stud, and securing the wallboard panel to the stud.

A modular water-resistant paneling system and method is configured for being retrofitted into walls of existing finished basements or buildings and/or used in new construction, using components fastenable onto wall studs supporting drywall. The components include dimensionally stable water-resistant panels, and finishing strips having a backing flange and an upper lip portion sized and shaped to receive upper edge portions of the panels therein. The backing flange is fastenable to the wall studs while maintaining the panels in spaced relation therefrom, to maintain interior facing surfaces of the panels and drywall flush with one another. The upper lip portion includes opposing flanges configured for superposed engagement with adjacent portions of the interior facing surfaces of the panels and drywall. Mounting clips are sized and shaped for receiving a stud therein, and have a support flange for supporting lower edge portions of the panels.
