A standoff for mounting panels such as glass panels in architectural applications include a plurality of parts that are first mounted to the panel and are then used to identify the locations for the anchor fasteners in the support structure or to locate the anchor fasteners as they are driven into the support structure. One configuration includes a bushing that defines a through opening. The bushing is placed through an opening the panel to be mounted. A barrel defining its own opening is then placed on the portion of the bushing that extends from the panel. The through hole of the bushing is aligned with the opening of the bushing such that an anchor fastener can pass through the bushing and the barrel into a support structure to which the panel is to be mounted.

The invention concerns a mounting system to support free-form architectural panels, in particular molded panels made from fiber composite materials such as concrete, resin, and gypsum. The mounting system comprises a socket which can be securely embedded in the panel during casting. The mounting system further comprises a ball joint which is clamped into the socket and allows for attachment of the panel to support structure.

A cladding element may have a composite body made up of two rectangular cover layers, of which at least the outer cover layer may consist of glass, and an inlay laminated in between the two cover layers. The composite body may include fastening tabs laminated in between the inner cover layer and the inlay on two opposing edge sides and an edge terminus profile protruding beyond the inner cover layer on one of the two edge sides between the fastening tabs, which may form an attachment web projecting from the protruding longitudinal edge for an identical cladding element. To provide advantageous construction conditions, the edge side opposite to the edge terminus profile may be covered by a cover strip frontally overlapped by the outer cover layer, which may be laminated like the edge terminus profile in between the inner cover layer and the inlay.

A system, device and method for reducing wind-induced vibration using cladding includes one or more movable panels attached to an outer facade of a high-rise building, skyscraper or any other structure subject to wind-induced vibration.

A laminated pane has two primary surfaces and a surrounding edge surface, containing the following, positioned atop one another in the order indicated and adhesively bonded to one another, a transparent glass panel, a transparent adhesion-promoting layer, a mechanically stable layer, and an all-around sealing of the surrounding edge surface, wherein the all-around sealing has at least three polymer layers of different materials, wherein a first polymer layer of the three polymer layers is a first adhesive film that is adhesively bonded at its boundary layer to the surrounding edge surface of the laminated pane, a second polymer layer of the three polymer layers is a second adhesive film that is provided for bonding the first adhesive film to a third polymer layer, and the third polymer layer of the three polymer layers is a barrier film that forms a barrier to liquid.

The disclosed subject matter relates to an apparatus for detachable fastening of a glass pane to a substructure, comprising a block strip that is subdivided into a block piece to block the glass pane on one of its peripheral sides and a holding piece to lie against the substructure, the block strip having at least one opening for fastening means for detachable fastening of the block strip to the substructure, and a bonding strip, an outer surface of which is bondable with one side of the glass pane, wherein the holding piece has a projection and the bonding strip engages the projection on the side facing away from the block piece when the glass pane is in the fastened state.

Luxury gemstone-style glass wall including a LED background light module installed within a framing module and covered with a glass module. The wall frame module is installed into a construction frame wall. The LED module includes strips of programmable LED lights mounted on an aluminum rear panel with high-shine aluminum facing in a frame that attaches, in the wall frame module. The glass module includes a plethora of glass pebbles held together and attached to another clear sheet with a non-yellowing resin. The LED lights shine through the glass pebbles to create a variety of lighting effects that can be used to create visual interest, set the mood, or provide light therapy.
