A fastening system comprises a fastening mechanism having a transition member and a ramp member. The transition member has a lower planar element, and an upper planar element, and a central portion disposed therebetween. The ramp member has a lower planar component, a first upper planar component, a forwardly angled component disposed between the lower planar component and the first upper planar component, and a backwardly angled component extending outwardly from the first upper planar component. The ramp member upper planar component is disposed above the transition member upper planar element, and the transition member lower planar element is at least partially disposed above the ramp member lower planar member.

A system for mounting wall panels to an existing wall, includes fastening extrusions, each including an extrusion base section adapted to be secured to the existing wall, at least one retaining wall extending at an angle from the base section, and a holding member on each retaining wall; and intermediary supports for supporting the wall panels at a position between side edges of the wall panels, each intermediary support including an intermediary support base plate adapted to be secured to the existing wall, and a sliding member adapted to be slidably connected with the base plate, such that one wall panel is adapted to be secured on the sliding member for sliding movement relative to the intermediary support base plate with the sliding member in order to slide a side edge of the wall panel into one fastening extrusion between the extrusion base section and the holding member.

A peripheral stabilizing system for elevated flooring surfaces that is configured to resist uplift forces acting against the elevated flooring surface thereby reducing the likelihood of dislodged surface tiles and the like. Broadly, the disclosed system includes a support structure disposed over a fixed surface (e.g., roof deck or the like), a plurality of surface tiles appropriately laid over the support structure, and one or more restraint apparatuses (e.g., support ledgers) that are positionable adjacent the outer periphery of the flooring surface. Each restraint apparatus includes a mounting portion that is securable to a wall (e.g., parapet) and a restraint portion positionable over a portion of the elevated flooring surface adjacent the outer periphery for restricting movement of the flooring surface in a direction away from the fixed surface.

A baseboard element including a nose portion, a riser portion coupled to the nose portion, and a wall groove portion coupled to the riser portion. The nose portion includes a nose bottom section and a nose face section. The riser portion includes a riser section approximately perpendicular to the nose bottom section. The nose portion is positioned only on a first side of the riser section, and the wall groove portion is positioned only on a second side of the riser section, the second side opposite the first side. The nose bottom section comprises a nose bottom edge that is located at a terminal end of the nose bottom section and that is located closer to a plane defined by the riser section than the nose face section is to the plane. Other embodiments are also provided.

Frieze tape (1) for attachment to a ceiling (10) or a wall, the frieze tape (1) comprising a layer of permeable non-woven material (2) and an adhesive layer (3) attached to the permeable non-woven material (2), the adhesive layer (3) being applied to one side of the non-woven material in a pattern comprising sections (21) without adhesive applied thereto.

Wall bases and methods for utilizing the same are provided. A rear surface of the wall base is configured to be secured to an adjacent forward surface of a wall. An extension member extends outward and downward from the base member, and a protrusion extends downward from the extension member. A channel for sealant is defined, at least in part, by the extension member and the protrusion. The protrusion may be separately formed from the extension member and base member.

Coping and skirting systems for structural bases are described herein. The coping and skirting systems include at least one coping tile and a support structure configured to be mounted on a front surface of the structural base and to support the at least one coping tile on the structural base. The support structure is also configured to be mounted on the structural base at a selectable position that provides for a top surface of the coping tile to be level with a top surface of a field tile on the structural base.

A method for laying wall cladding sheet mainly have following steps, placing an auxiliary line, drilling a mounting hole according to the auxiliary line, placing an expansion casing in the mounting hole, placing, adjusting and fastening a first trim strip to the wall, placing a first EPE foam to appress the wall, placing a first wall cladding sheet to appress the first EPE foam, placing and adjusting a second trim strip to fasten the first wall cladding sheet to appress the first EPE form to the wall, placing a second EPE foam to appress the wall, placing a second wall cladding sheet to appress the second EPE foam, placing and adjusting a third trim strip to fasten the second wall cladding sheet to appress the second EPF foam to the wall.

A flexible inside corner trim piece is formed with concave depressions at hinge portions where wings attach to the body. The trim piece can be formed such that wings and a top cap lay flat in plane perpendicular to body or wings and top cap curve at an angle. Hinge portions can be narrow or wide and symmetrical or asymmetrical. The trim piece can be dyed, paintable, or present another decorative surface. The trim piece can include embedded lighting.

Provided is a ventilation member suitable for ensuring the ventilation of a ventilation layer provided on the back side of a wall material. A ventilation member X according to the present invention is a ventilation member that can be attached to a wall material, and includes a fixed plate portion 10, a top plate portion 20, a partition plate portion 30, a bottom plate portion 40, a front plate portion 50, and a first baffle plate portion 61. The fixed plate portion 10 has a first surface that abuts against a building framework, and a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface, and includes a first end portion 13 located on one side in a state in which the ventilation member X is attached to the wall material, and a second end portion 14 located on another side. The top plate portion 20 extends from the first end portion 13 of the fixed plate portion 10 on the second surface side. The partition plate portion 30 extends from the top plate portion 20 in a direction from the first end portion toward the second end portion of the fixed plate portion 10. The bottom plate portion 40 extends from the partition plate portion 30 in a direction away from the fixed plate portion 10. The front plate portion 50 extends from the bottom plate portion 40 in a direction from the second end portion toward the first end portion of the fixed plate portion 10. The first baffle plate portion 61 extends from the front plate portion 50 to the partition plate portion 30 side. The bottom plate portion 40 has a first hole 42.
