An interlocking wall panel arrangement for mounting wall panels to an existing wall, includes a plurality of wall panels, each wall panel including a main wall panel section, a first interlocking section extend rearwardly from the main wall panel section at one end thereof, the first interlocking section includes walls defining a channel, and a second interlocking section extend rearwardly from the main wall panel section at an opposite end thereof for engaging with a first interlocking section of another the wall panel, the second interlocking section includes a projection wall that fits within the channel of another wall panel; and a securing arrangement for securing the first interlocking section to the existing wall.

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.

This application relates to the field of reveal architectural panel assemblies. The apparatus replaces prior art assembly methods and fasteners with a particular connecting structure to facilitate assembly. The frame extrusions are modified to facilitate assembly and increase ease in adaptation and installation.

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.

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.

A method for attaching a first object to one or more second objects of dissimilar materials, without any bonding material, using a molded attachment block is provided. Anchoring grooves are created and a constrained assembly is positioned at opposing sections on a surface of the first object. A tension is generated in tension bearing members anchored in the anchoring grooves and extended along a length of the constrained assembly. The constrained assembly is constricted between mold side members positioned perpendicular to the mold end members. The tension bearing members are clamped between bolt assemblies. A viscous liquid is poured and cured on the constrained assembly, the tension bearing members, the anchoring grooves, and the bolt assemblies for creating the molded attachment block with opposing ends of the threaded members of the constrained assembly extending outwardly from the molded attachment block for attachment to second objects without any bonding material.

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.

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 is a panel comprising a substrate (1), wherein the outer surface of the substrate (1) is covered with a coating layer (8), wherein one edge of the substrate (1) is provided with a recess (3), and a groove (4) is arranged inside the substrate (1) adjacent and interconnected to the recess (4), and wherein the opposite edge of the substrate (1) is provided with a protrusion (7) that can be fitted into the recess (3), and a tongue (6) is extended from the protrusion (7) that can fitted into the groove (4). The substrate is made of 100 parts by mass of PVC resin or PVC powder, 25-45 parts of styrene elastomer, 180-280 parts of stone powder, sawdust or rock, 1-10 parts of an additive, and 1-4 parts of an elastomer coupling agent. Also disclosed is a decorative panel formed by arranging and interlocking the panels in sequence by fitting the protrusion of a panel into the recess of a neighboring panel, as well as a panel installation process.

This disclosure discloses a dry seal system for use with a wall comprised of exterior insulated wall panels wherein the dry seal system is used to seal the joints between the exterior insulated wall panels. The dry seal system generally comprises a seal assembly for sealing a joint between horizontally adjacent exterior insulated wall panels and may further comprise a horizontal seal for sealing vertically adjacent exterior insulated wall panels. The seal assembly generally comprises a first connector, a second connector and a vertical seal, wherein the first connector is attached to one exterior insulated wall panel, the second connector is attached to another exterior insulated wall panel, the vertical seal is positioned between the first connector and the second connector and the first connector engages the second connector to provide a seal.
