This application relates to the field of reveal architectural panels and a tool or clamp for assembly thereof. The apparatus and method replace prior art assembly methods and fasteners with adhesives and a dedicated particularly designed clamp to facilitate assembly. The frame members are modified to facilitate assembly with adhesive sealants and removal of mechanical fasteners.

Disclosed herein is a panel system for covering a building wall. The panel system includes at least one panel assembly. Each panel assembly includes a panel having a front panel wall, a side panel wall, and a back mounting flange overhanging the front panel wall. Each panel also includes at least one perimeter extrusion. Each perimeter extrusion includes a panel engaging portion having a panel slot shaped to receive the back mounting flange of the panel, and a connector engaging portion having a connector slot. The panel system also includes at least one connector extrusion for mounting the panel assembly to the building wall. Each connector extrusion includes a connector base mountable to the building wall, and at least one connector flange shaped to fit in the connector slot of the perimeter extrusion.

Example embodiments of the described technology provide an assembly for providing a seal at a gap defined between opposed surfaces of adjacent building panels. In some embodiments the assembly comprises backer rods and foam tapes extending in a longitudinal direction and spaced apart in a transverse direction. Sealants are applied to the backer rods to provide a seal between surfaces of the adjacent building panels.

[Object] To provide a wall material and a wall-material building structure that are suitable for achieving high water resistance in the wall-material building structure.

[Solution] A wall material X of the present invention has a surface-side joint portion 10 and a rear-side joint portion 20. A first resin film 31 is provided on at least one of an end surface 11a of the surface-side joint portion 10 and an end surface 21 of the rear-side joint portion 20. A second resin film 32 is provided on at least one of an extension surface 11b and an extension surface 22b. At a splice part where the surface-side joint portion 10 of one wall material X and the rear-side joint portion 20 of another wall material X are spliced together in a first direction D1, the end surfaces 11a and 21 and the first resin film 31 are disposed such that the end surfaces 11a and 21 face each other while a gap between the end surfaces 11a and 21 is filled with at least the first resin film 31, and the extension surfaces 11b and 22b and the second resin film 32 are disposed such that the extension surfaces 11b and 22b face each other while a gap between the extension surfaces 11b and 22b is filled with at least the second resin film 32. A wall-material building structure Y of the present invention is formed by using such a wall material X.

A method of assembling wall panels includes mounting a plurality of PVC fastening extrusions to a wall in a predetermined parallel, spaced apart relationship, each having a length much greater than a length of a wall panel and having two spaced apart resilient bent end securing walls extending from a base, each securing wall having a projection, each wall panel having a main wall panel and four bent end sections with recesses and corner openings, pressing a bent end section into the spacing between the securing walls to cause deformation and snapping back thereof a projection engages in a respective recess, sliding said wall panel along the parallel, spaced apart fastening extrusions to a desired position with the corner openings permitting said sliding action, and repeating the steps of pressing and sliding for additional wall panels.

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 coupling system for mounting a tile to an outer surface of a building is disclosed. In one embodiment, the coupling system includes support tracks arranged and configured to couple the tile to the building. The support tracks may include integrally formed clips for coupling with the tiles. The clips may be arranged and configured to couple to a top portion of a lower tile and a bottom portion of an upper tile. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the coupling system may include a gasket coupled to the support tracks. The gasket may include first and second arms. The support tracks may include integrally formed, first and second inwardly extending legs for receiving the first and second arms, respectively, of the gasket. In use, the coupling system facilitates faster and easier manufacturability and assembly as compared to other known systems thus providing a more cost-effective solution, particularly when used with smaller tiles.

A cladding or siding assembly for use as cladding or siding for a wall of a building or structure having a face includes at least one panel member and at least two parallel and spaced support rail members which are arranged to allow at least one panel member to slidably interfit in between the support rail members, to be located and be removable at any time during construction or any time later after completion. The panel member is slotted between an upper support rail member and a parallel lower support rail member, whereby at an upper end of the panel member recess slidably interfits with the lower tab member of the upper support rail member having second end leg of perimeter frame within lower recess and the recess at a lower end of the same panel member slidably captures shorter upper tab member of the lower support rail member whereby second end leg is captured in upper recess of lower support rail member. A panel member and method of assembly are also disclosed.

A double return panel system utilizing a perimeter extrusion having an arm terminating in an end portion configured to contact and twice bend a panel. The panel fits into a slot formed adjacent the arm. The perimeter extrusion is held to a facade by a base member.

The present disclosure relates to interior material attachment structure with wall attachment part bolt grooves, including: binding protrusions formed at the outermost part of the interior material attachment structure in order to attach the metal interior material; and connection part grooves formed adjacent to the binding protrusions in order to connect the plurality of interior material attachment structures to each other.
