A sound isolation assembly comprising: a center ferrule; a top grommet isolator; a bottom grommet isolator; a spring; and a furring channel engagement portion. The sound isolation assembly is configured to engage with a structure and a furring channel, which itself is connected to a ceiling panel, such that the noise passing from one floor to the other is lessened as compared to a control system that does not use the sound isolation assembly. The spring may be steel and the grommet isolators may be rubber or the like, and the combination of the steel spring and grommet isolators reduces noise.

A masonry veneer support assembly for mounting masonry veneer to supporting wall structure. The support assembly has a first shelf angle, a second shelf angle, and a first shelf angle mounting bracket. Each shelf angle mounting bracket has an upwardly extending back that mounts to the supporting wall structure, and a web extending forwardly away from the wall structure. The web has first and second shelf angle mounting seats formed therein. The first shelf angle mounting seat is upwardly spaced from the second shelf angle mounting seat. A second shelf angle mounting bracket may be spaced apart horizontally from the first shelf angle mounting bracket.

A mounting rail for mounting tiles to a backing system of a building wall structure comprises a tile support linked with a back-fixing rail via a tile-support carrier. The tile-support carrier comprises an acoustic damper between the tile support and the back-fixing rail. This impedes the transmission of acoustic energy from the tiles to the backing system, and so improves the acoustic insolation while the mechanical stiffness of the tile-support carrying arm is maintained. The acoustic damper may be provided in the form of one or more angled bends, apertures, an obtusely angled connection of the tile-support carrier to the back-fixing rail or a connection of the tile-support carrier at an upper or lower end of the back-fixing rail, or combinations of two or more of these features.

A siding panel installation system can include a support tray channel with a first leg and a second leg opposite the first leg, where the second leg of the support tray channel is offset from a mounting face plane of the first leg by a support tray connecting the first leg and the second leg together. The siding panel installation system can also include an inside mounting clip with an attachment leg and a support channel spaced apart from the attachment leg and offset from a mounting face plane of the attachment leg, where the support channel of the inside mounting clip is configured to receive the first leg of the support tray channel. The siding panel installation system can include an outside corner clip with an attachment leg and a support channel spaced apart from the attachment leg and offset from a mounting face plane of the attachment leg.

The assembled light steel structure energy-saving composite wall in the present invention comprises: a cement board and/or ceramic tile, a column, a support rod, a cross beam, a bottom plate, a diagonal brace and a diagonal draw steel bar. In the thickness direction of the composite wall, the horizontal side of each group of columns is outside the composite wall, a plurality of support rods and diagonal braces are installed between the four second vertical sides of the columns of the each opposite group of columns. In the width direction of the composite wall, a plurality of cross beams and diagonal draw steel bars are installed between the first vertical sides of the column of the adjacent groups of columns. On both sides of the thickness direction of the composite wall, the horizontal sides of the column of the two adjacent columns are provided with a cement board and/or a ceramic tile inserted by a strip fastener and a strip, and the space enclosed by the cement board and the ceramic tile, the cement board and the cement board or the ceramic tile and the ceramic tile is filled with the filler. The assembled light steel structure wall system is simple to assemble, convenient to transport, operate and maintain, energy-saving and heat-preserving, the wall installation and wall decoration is completed at one time.

A system (10) for covering an exterior external surface of a building includes cladding alignment features attached to the external surface of the building according to a predetermined pattern and cladding panels (100). Each cladding panel includes a structural frame (130), a substrate (110) attached to a first, external, surface of the structural frame, and fasteners (200) that are formed on a second, internal, surface of the structural frame. The fasteners are arranged according to the same predetermined pattern as the cladding alignment features, such that each of fasteners can be aligned with and attached to a corresponding one of the cladding alignment features. Each of the fasteners is attachable to a corresponding one of the plurality of cladding alignment features. The building is formed from multiple modular units assembled together. Each of the plurality of cladding panels is affixed to one or more of the modular units.

A covering element support arrangement for attaching covering elements to a building or building component. The covering element support arrangement has a carrier means for receiving covering elements thereon. The covering element support arrangement further has an attachment means for attaching covering elements to the carrier means. The attachment means involves mechanical fastening means that can be fastened to the carrier means and that are engageable with covering elements to fix the covering elements to the carrier means. The carrier means is formed at least partially from a perforated sheet and the mechanical fastening means is engageable with the perforations. The frequency of the perforations is such that a covering element can be attached to the carrier means without requiring the covering element to be initially aligned relative to any single perforation. This thereby reduces the time required to fit covering elements.
