A device for leveling and aligning tiles and method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling device includes a body and two spaced and parallel strip members extending transversely from the body. Each of the spaced and parallel strip members extend to the front and rear of the body. Two opposing lateral open windows are formed in the body. A breakaway section is defined along the body. A wedge device is provided for penetrating one or more of the two opposing lateral open windows and exerting a force on the tiles for leveling them relative to each other.

Provided is a levelling spacer device for laying slab products for cladding laying surfaces. In some embodiments, the levelling spacer device includes a support having a base and a separator element provided with a through-window with two upper tilted sub-edges and a lower edge; and a presser wedge to be inserted in the through-window and to slide restingly on the in-view surface of the slab products, with an upper face having two adjacent areas running longitudinally along the length of the pressing wedge, and that are tilted downwards towards each other along a common convergent axis, and that cooperate, each, with a respective one of the two upper tilted sub-edges to push the slab products downwards. Also provided is a computer program product for manufacturing the presently disclosed device by 3D printing.

Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system comprising tongue and grooves provided with protrusions and cavities which are displaceable in relation to each other and configured such that the protrusions can obtain a vertically unlocked position where they match the cavities and a vertically locked position where the protrusions overlap each other.

Disclosed are a ceramic tile leveling bracket, pushing and clamping pliers and a ceramic tile leveling and laying system. The ceramic tile leveling and laying system comprises: a ceramic tile leveling bracket (1), an insertion block (2) and pushing and clamping pliers (3), wherein the ceramic tile leveling bracket (1) is provided at the junction between two adjacent ceramic tiles (4), one end of the insertion block (2) is inserted into an insertion block through hole (16) of the ceramic tile leveling bracket (1), and the pushing and clamping pliers (3) push and clamp the insertion block (2) into the insertion block through hole (16), so that an insertion block bottom surface (21) is tangent to upper surfaces of the two ceramic tiles (4). The ceramic tile leveling and laying system is easy to operate, and helps to improve the laying efficiency and laying quality.

A tile aligning and lippage tuning system that uses a single piece base and strap which is designed to break away from the base when sufficient pressure is applied and is also designed to stretch along a thin wall region before separation of the strap from the base occurs.

A system for providing siding to a building is disclosed. The system utilizes components which have their own brackets with attachment flanges in order to connect directly to an exterior wall of the building. The brackets contain their own integrated water control systems, which co-act with those of other components to control and direct water into vertical channels and out from behind the siding system. These flanges double as self-contained flashing. In all the system presents a roof-to-foundation siding system that is self-contained and fully transitional from one piece to another.

Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system comprising tongue and grooves provided with protrusions and cavities which are displaceable in relation to each other and configured such that the protrusions can obtain a vertically unlocked position where they match the cavities and a vertically locked position where the protrusions overlap each other.

A board with preformed seals. In an exemplary embodiment, a sealing material is applied to at least one edge of a board to form a preformed seal on that edge. The board is configured such that when the board is attached to a frame adjacent to a another board, at least a portion of the sealing material applied to the edge of the board seals against at least a portion of an edge another board. In one exemplary embodiment, the boards are configured to seal against edges of substantially identical boards. A plurality of the sheathing boards may be installed on a building frame to form a sheathing system that provides a moisture and/or gas barrier between and interior and exterior of a building.

A wedge device for leveling tiles and a clip set for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the wedge device, the wedge device includes a body having an attachment end, a penetrating edge, a top, and a bottom. The attachment end is coupled to a backstop member and the penetrating edge is configured to penetrate the clip member. The body includes an inclined plane tapering from the attachment end to the penetrating edge. A line-of-sight opening extends along a longitudinal axis of the body to provide visibility through the body from the top to the bottom.
