An apparatus and method for a wall panel system having a plurality of wall panels arranged within a framework. The wall panels may include a plurality of retention devices releasably engaging the framework to position the wall panels relative to the wall panel system. One or more of the retention devices may be actuated to engage and disengage from the framework. The wall panel system may include trim releasably engaging the framework.

A method covers at least a portion of a surface of an existing structure with a repair structure. The method comprises: providing a standoff, the standoff elongated in a longitudinal direction and operable from an open configuration to a closed configuration; while the standoff is in the open configuration, mounting the standoff to the existing structure, such that the standoff projects outwardly away from the surface of the existing structure; closing the standoff to the closed configuration, the closing of the standoff forming a standoff connector; and coupling a cladding panel to the standoff by engaging the panel with the standoff connector at a location spaced outwardly apart from the surface of the existing structure by a void.

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.

In a first aspect there is disclosed a support structure assembly (10). The support structure assembly includes a first wall panel (12) operatively associated with an opposing, spaced apart second wall panel. The first wall panel (12) including a channel (14) having two spaced apart channel walls (16) connected via a transverse channel base (18). The channel (14) encloses a resilient body (20).

The disclosure relates to a covering system for a floor, a wall and/or a ceiling. The covering system includes a decorated side, a lower side opposite the decorated side and a plurality of interconnected covering elements. At least one conducting element is arranged between at least two of the covering elements in such a way that the at least one conducting element is at least partially visible on the decorated side. The at least one conducting element is configured to conduct a physical quantity, material or signals. The at least one conducting element includes an interface to a source or a consumer of the physical quantity, material or signals.

A floor panel includes at least two reinforcing layers extending in a direction parallel to a plane defined by the panel to allow one of the at least two reinforcing layers to be situated at a level between 30˜70 percent of a thickness from a top surface of the panel to a highest part of a top surface of the tongue, and/or a bottom surface of the panel to a lowest part of an upper surface of the lower lip.

A vertical seal for use with a first and second exterior panels, the vertical seal including a first pair of opposed sides and a second pair of opposed sides. The second pair of opposed sides extend between the first pair of opposed sides, and the second pair of opposed sides have bends formed therein such that first pair of opposed sides are moveable towards each other under pressure. When the vertical seal is positioned between the first and second exterior panels and a seal is formed therebetween. An exterior wall system includes a plurality of exterior panels, a plurality of vertical seals operably connected between horizontally adjacent exterior panels and a plurality of horizontal seals between vertically adjacent panels.

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.
