A clip for mounting a furring channel to a support structure, the clip having a body portion attachable relative to the support structure, at least one connection portion extending transversely from the body portion, each of the at least one connection portion has two opposed connection positions adapted to connect to the furring channel, at least one leg portion extending transversely from the body portion away from the at least one connection portion, and a foot portion extending transversely from each of the at least one leg portion, wherein in use, when the body portion is attached relative to the support structure, each foot portion is proximal to the support structure and each of the at least one connection portion is distal to the support structure.

Structural furring systems having enhanced drainage functionality are described. Furring strips can include a substantially planar face, substantially planar webs extending from edges of the face, and substantially planar legs extending from opposite edges of the legs. The face and/or legs include a row or array of protrusions configured to accommodate drainage and ventilation between the furring strip and an attached exterior cladding and/or building substrate. Furring strips can be manufactured by rolling a sheet metal such as steel. Additional embodiments include a furring tape configured to be affixed to a substantially flat face of a commercially available furring strip to provide similar drainage features.

A wall siding system for siding a wall surface comprises a plurality of supports and a plurality of modules. The supports are mounted to the wall surface. The modules are mounted to the supports and arranged in a column thereby covering the wall surface. Each module defines top and bottom ends, outer and inner surfaces and opposite lateral sides.

A support structure for installing planar rows of thin bricks on a wall may include a panel that may be mounted to a front surface of the wall, a plurality of tabs that may extend from a front surface of the panel and may be arranged in a plurality of horizontal rows of spaced-apart tabs, and a plurality of elongated support members, where each of the plurality of elongated support members may be removably attached to a corresponding horizontal row of spaced-apart tabs. Each of the plurality of elongated support members may include an upper support edge and a lower support edge, where the upper support edge may be configured to support lower surfaces of thin bricks that are placed immediately above each elongated support member and the lower support edge may be placed above and in contact with upper surfaces of thin bricks that are placed immediately below each elongated support member.

Deformed web materials are disclosed. The web materials have discrete deformations formed therein. The deformations may be features in the form of portions of a web with apertures therein, protrusions, depressed areas, and combinations thereof. These features may extend out from the surface on one side of the web, or from both of the surfaces of the web. Different features may be intermixed with one another.

A fastening device and a panel system for releasably connecting panels to a wall or ceiling, comprising a latch portion; a base portion; a piston guide; a push latch piston movably arranged and biased between a first retracted position and a second, extended position, wherein a guide track is formed in the push latch piston, and wherein a guide pin is formed on the piston guide, the guide track formed in sections forming an angle to each other, with arrests for the guide pins formed at intersections of the sections, and wherein, when the piston guide is moved relative to the push latch piston towards the retracted position, the guide pin rotates the latch portion to an intermediate position, and when the piston guide is moved back, the guide pin rotates the latch portion from the intermediate position to 90 relative to the initial rest position.
