A corner construction with improved warping flexibility may feature two panels, or walls, hinged together to form a corner and then hinged to the underlying building structure or adjacent wall construction. Any flexible connection between the two panels in the central corner and the panels and underlying building structure or wall construction may be utilized, including hinges and flexible plate supports.

The invention provides a veneer panel for use on a surface of a building. The veneer panel can be fabricated with a mounting system that includes a frame and/or a backing for efficient installation on a building surface, as well as a mounting strip or mating connector that can be installed on a building surface to further support the veneer panel.

A corner siding product may include a plurality of panels. Each panel may include a front face with a simulated pattern and an inner wall formed along a perimeter of the panel. The corner siding product may further include a clip that is configured engage each panel to hold the panels together and form a corner.

A tub or shower surround kit, system, and method are disclosed. An example system for constructing a tub surround, shower surround, and wall covering includes a plurality of components including at least one panel, at least one edge component, and at least one interconnecting component. The example system also includes a tongue or lip of a first of the plurality of components configured to fit into a groove of a second of the plurality of components. The example system also includes a tongue or lip of the second of the plurality of components to fit into a groove of the first of the plurality of components. Any number of the plurality of components are connected adjacent a desired wall geometry to provide an assembled version of the tub surround, shower surround, and wall covering.

The appearance of natural rock faces are formed on planar panels or part portions disposed horizontally by stamping or texturizing a cementatious mixture of veneer material and then selectively applying colorant matter, which may include combinations of stains and mineral.

There is disclosed a system and method for wall panel trim installation. In an embodiment, the system comprises a plurality of horizontal and vertical trim profiles having a back plate adapted to receive a top cap within a bracket, the bracket including a mounting base and walls extending up from either side of the base; and at least one flange formed on the walls and extending outwardly, the at least one flange including a shallow channel; wherein, upon receiving the top cap within the bracket, the at least one flange forming the shallow channel and a portion of the top cap secure an edge of a wall panel therebetween. In an embodiment, the shallow channel formed within the at least one flange is adapted to receive an adhesive or sealant. The top cap is partially received within the bracket such that a clearance is formed between a bottom of the mounting base and a bottom of the top cap. Back plate and top cap pairs allow installation of wall panels placed into position without fasteners.

A fiber enforced sheet for use as a wall or floor covering which comprises of adhered thin bricks bonded to a fiber-reinforced, backing layer. Thin brick is adhered to the fiber enforced sheet. The fiber enforced backing increases strength and rigidity to the thin brick during handling, and installation permits the thin bricks to be adhered to proper specification and spacing to be cut using ordinary tile or thin brick tools.

An inside corner profile for providing a low-maintenance expansion joint in a space that is at least partially designed with flat structural elements, the cross section of the inside corner profile having a long leg on the back and a short leg on the front, as well as a web that connects the short leg and the long leg, the web being extended beyond the attachment point of the short leg and the web extension having a shadow gap on the back side of its end portion is disclosed.

Also disclosed is a use of the inside corner profile in drywall construction using gypsum plaster board panels.

A corner siding product may include a plurality of panels. Each panel may include a front face with a simulated pattern and an inner wall formed along a perimeter of the panel. The corner siding product may further include a clip that is configured engage each panel to hold the panels together and form a corner.

A wall assembly comprises a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a rear wall, wherein a plurality of non-porous tiles are affixed to the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the rear wall of the wall assembly. Each first sidewall tile, second sidewall tile, and rear wall tile extends the full length of one dimension of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the rear wall, respectively. Both upper and lower edges of the first sidewall tiles, second sidewall tiles, and rear wall tiles comprise a chamfer optionally terminating short of a first end and a second end of the first and second sidewall tiles and rear wall tiles. The rear wall tiles comprise a dado located at each end of the rear wall tile that provides a hidden connection with the first and second sidewall tiles. The first and second sidewall tiles and the rear wall tiles are of a synthetic or natural material.
