A ceiling system for under-deck installation includes ceiling panels and retaining clips. Each ceiling panel has a first interlocking bracket and an oppositely spaced second interlocking bracket formed along the sides of the ceiling panel. The ceiling system is installed by installing a number of retaining clips along the length of the second interlocking bracket of a panel and then inserting the first interlocking bracket of the next panel in the second interlocking bracket of the first panel so that the retaining clips secure an edge of the first interlocking bracket of the next panel. Subsequent ceiling panels are connected in this manner to form the ceiling panel system.

A securing member includes a fixing portion having a reference surface and fixing holes, a main bulging portion having a contact surface that comes into contact with first to fourth exterior members, a supporting portion, upper and lower engagement portions attached to the supporting portion, a lower bulging portion, and an erected portion that projects from the lower bulging portion and that is disposed on a center line of the fixing portion between the first and third exterior members. One of the fixing holes that is closest to the center line is displaced from the center line. The fixing holes are arranged asymmetrically about the center line. A first length by which the main bulging portion bulges is greater than a second length by which the lower bulging portion bulges. The length from the reference surface to the front end of the erected portion is greater than the first length.

A roofing, cladding, or siding apparatus comprises a roofing, cladding, or siding module and at least one clip. The module comprises an underlapping region and an exposed region. The underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent overlapping module when installed on a building surface. A projection extends from the exposed region to provide a bearing surface facing the under surface of the exposed region. The clip or clips is attachable to the underlapping region to provide a tongue adapted to be received between the bearing surface and the under surface of the exposed region of an adjacent overlapping module when installed on a building surface.

A mounting clip (1) for the floating mounting of wall and ceiling panels consisting of composite wood materials, said panels being connected to one another without adhesive by corresponding locking profiles to form a wall or ceiling covering and being fastened to a substructure. The mounting clip has a base board (2), a receiving portion (4) formed in one piece with the base board and intended for engaging in a locking profile of a panel, wherein the receiving portion has a distancing piece (5) arranged as far as possible perpendicularly to the plane of the base board, and a contacting piece (6), which adjoins the distancing piece and is arranged as far as possible parallel to the plane of the base board, and a slot (8) is provided in the base board for fastening the mounting clip to a fastening means on the substructure the slot can be at least 1.5-4 cm long and extend transversely with respect to the contacting piece.

A panel including a centrally located core, at least one first coupling part and at least one second coupling part connected respectively to opposite edges of the core, which first coupling part includes an upward tongue, at least one upward flank lying at a distance from the upward tongue and an upward groove formed in between the upward tongue and the upward flank wherein the upward groove is adapted to receive at least a part of a downward tongue of a second coupling part of an adjacent panel: which second coupling part includes a downward tongue, at least one downward flank lying at a distance from the downward tongue, and a downward groove formed in between the downward tongue and the downward flank, wherein the downward groove is adapted to receive at least a part of an upward tongue of a first coupling part of an adjacent panel.

A set (1) of tiles (5) adapted to cover a surface (10) perpendicular to a thickness direction (V) of the tiles (5), each of the tiles comprising at least one upper layer (24), and an underlying rigid core layer (22), the core layer and the upper layer being superimposed in the thickness direction, and the core layer defining a lower surface (S) opposite the upper layer. The tiles comprise at least one first tile (15) having a first edge extending in a longitudinal direction (L), the core layer of the first tile (15) defining a connecting groove (28) in the first edge. The tiles comprise at least one second tile (20) having a second edge extending in the longitudinal direction, the core layer of the second tile defining a connecting tongue (34) protruding from the second edge, the connecting tongue being adapted to be snap-fit into the connecting groove in a connecting direction (C) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (L) and to the thickness direction in a locked configuration of the first tile and the second tile. The lower surface defines an additional groove (30) parallel to the first edge.

Building panels, such as a floor panels or wall panels. The panels include a first mechanical locking system at respective parallel and opposite third and fourth edges, such as long edges, configured to cooperate for horizontal and vertical locking between two adjacent building panels, preferably by means of a folding motion. The panels further include a second locking system at respective parallel and opposite first and second edges, such as short edges, configured to cooperate for horizontal and vertical locking of two adjacent building panels. An upper edge portion of one of the third edge or fourth edge, preferably the third edge, includes a first lower lip portion configured to cooperate with a first upper lip portion of an upper edge portion of the other of the third and fourth edge of an adjacent panel when the third and fourth edges are arranged in locking engagement.

A cladding system that is used to form a building envelope is disclosed. The system includes pre-fabricated modular cladding panels, each including a composite layer mounted onto metal or alloy sub-frame. The composite layer provides an outer insulation to the system, and a generally flat outer surface to which a veneer may be mounted. The composite layer further acts as an air and vapour barrier for the building envelope. The sub-frames may connect to one another by a tongue and groove interconnect.

A ship lap styled wall covering system and apparatus is described. The apparatus includes panels which are disposed horizontally atop one another and are preferably joined via rabbet joints. The panels are configured to exhibit horizontal junction grooves when viewed from a front of the apparatus which facilitates the attachment of mounts such as brackets for the display of items and/or retail products on the wall covering. Similarly, vertical junction grooves may be present for the placement of similar mounts to vary the structure of the wall covering. Reinforced mounting notches disposed within the horizontal junction grooves are configured to conceal any and all screws used to affix the panels to the wall, and employ a rear portion substrate to ensure a structurally sound construct. Top and bottom molding panels may be installed to assist the aesthetic appeal of the system.

A panel element may be provided for a covering. In particular, a panel element for a floor, wall or ceiling covering, which covering may be formed by a plurality of panel elements of the same kind which are connected to one another. Each panel element has a basic body having a defined total thickness and upper and a lower surfaces. The basic body has in each case differently contoured longitudinal sides and in each case differently contoured end faces. One longitudinal side has groove-like contouring and the other longitudinal side has tongue-like contouring corresponding thereto.
