A cladding kit mountable to an underlying structure, the cladding kit comprising a plurality of elongated cladding boards, each cladding board including a board body defining longitudinally opposed board body first and second ends, board body first and second sides extending therebetween and opposed inside and outside surfaces; an outside flange protruding from the board body at the board body first side, the outside flange being recessed relative to the inside surface; and an inside flange protruding from the board body at the board body second side, the inside flange being recessed relative to the outside surface. The inside and outside flanges are configured and sized so that the inside and outside flanges of two cladding boards overlap when they are laid side-by-side with their outside surfaces substantially coplanar.

A wall trimming (also called a corner guard) is provided for protecting a corner of a wall. The corner guard is an elongated body in an L-shape having recessed portions within inner surface facing the wall. The recessed portions hold magnets configured to hold the corner guard using magnetic attraction to a magnetic material fixed inside the wall, which may be a metal corner bead or magnetic inserts, for example. The recessed portions may be dimensioned according to the dimensions of the insert magnets, such that magnets are flush with the inner surface of the corner guard. The corner guard may have three layers with the recessed portions cut out of the inner layer, a decorative pattern cut into the outer layer, and the middle layer providing a backstop to prevent the recessed portions and magnets from being visible through the decorative pattern cut into the outer layer.

A decking system and method comprising a set of components that may be used for constructing and repairing structures, particularly the connection between fascia boards. The components may be shaped such that they fit together to form a connection between fascia boards at any angle while providing protective cover from the elements and a polished look. The components may be composed of a variety of materials and may be extruded. A decorative pattern, engraving, or embossing, or any of the above may be applied to the components as desired.

A cladding kit is provided for a structure cladding, the structure cladding comprising a first panel that extends away from a structure location along a first surface portion of the structure and a second panel that extends away from the structure location along a second surface portion of the structure. The cladding kit comprises a base piece couplable to the structure at the structure location, the base piece comprising a base connector, and a trim piece comprising first and second wings and a trim connector shaped to make a connection with the base connector to thereby couple the trim piece to the base piece. The first wing is shaped to contact, and be deformed by, the first panel when a connection is made. The second wing is shaped to contact, and be deformed by, the second panel when the connection is made.

An integrated fiber cement and foam cladding system is provided that incorporates foam or similar light weight material to improve the insulation capacity of the cladding system. The system includes at least a fiber cement layer and a foam layer disposed on the backside of the fiber cement layer. The system improves the R-value of the building, a measure of the building's resistance to transferring heat or thermal energy.

A profiled element for laying raised floors, which comprises a first flat portion that extends longitudinally and a second flat portion that extends longitudinally in the same direction as the first portion and is arranged transversely with respect to the arrangement of the first portion, grip protrusions for an adhesive for coverings or floors being defined on the second flat portion.

A trim piece for sealing a work surface including a body having a first side, a second side, and a span disposed between the first side and the second side, wherein the first side and the second side are joined at a junction defining an angle between the first side and the second side of between 80 degrees and 100 degrees, a topcap is affixed to the span of the body, wherein the topcap includes a left side having a first wing and a right side having a second wing, an adhesive is bonded to the first side of the body and an aperture is disposed within the body.

A system for mounting wall panels to an existing wall, includes fastening extrusions, each including an extrusion base section adapted to be secured to the existing wall, at least one retaining wall extending at an angle from the base section, and a holding member on each retaining wall; and intermediary supports for supporting the wall panels at a position between side edges of the wall panels, each intermediary support including an intermediary support base plate adapted to be secured to the existing wall, and a sliding member adapted to be slidably connected with the base plate, such that one wall panel is adapted to be secured on the sliding member for sliding movement relative to the intermediary support base plate with the sliding member in order to slide a side edge of the wall panel into one fastening extrusion between the extrusion base section and the holding member.

A wallboard-fastening device for securing first and second wallboards in an inside-corner configuration includes a first framing panel having a first lengthwise edge and a second framing panel having opposite second and third lengthwise edges, the second lengthwise edge directly connecting to the first lengthwise edge. A first flat-spring flange having a fourth lengthwise edge is directly connected to the third lengthwise edge such that the first flat-spring flange, the first framing panel, and the second framing panel form a channel sized to accept the first wallboard. A second flat-spring flange having a fifth lengthwise edge is connected to the third lengthwise edge. The first flat-spring flange flexes, when the first wallboard is inserted into the channel, to push against the first wallboard, and the second flat-spring flange flexes, when a rear face of the second framing panel is pushed against the second wallboard, to push against the second wallboard.
