The present invention relates to a decorative panel mounting structure. The existing connectors fix decorative panels through exposed clamping strips, resulting in uneven exposed surfaces of the decorative panels. The decorative panel mounting structure provided by the present invention comprises decorative panels and connectors, wherein the bottom of the connector is provided with a bottom plate fitting with and fixedly connected to a wall surface, the middle of a side wall of the decorative panel is provided with a clamping groove, two sides of the top of the connector respectively extend outwards to form a clamping strip inserted into the clamping groove for positioning, the adjacent decorative panels are fixedly connected to the wall surface through the clamping grooves with which the corresponding clamping strips are sleeved, and an area on the side wall of the decorative panel and above the clamping groove is a horizontal plane. The middle of the side wall of the decorative panel is provided with the clamping groove, such that a station on the decorative panel for mounting of the connector is switched from an exposed surface of the decorative panel to the side wall of the decorative panel, and the clamping groove is used to cover the clamping strip, not only ensuring the connection strength between the connector and the decorative panel, but also avoiding a situation in which the decorative effect of the decorative panel is affected when the size of the clamping strip is increased to improve the structural strength.

A hanger system includes an adjustable panel hanger. The adjustable panel hanger includes a connector member, a base member configured to removably attach to the connector member and to clamp onto a support member, wherein the base member includes a base flange, and a hanger member adjustably affixable on the base flange. Optionally, the hanger system may further include a modular panel connectable to the base member via the hanger member.

Provided herein is a facade for a building, made up of composite elements, the composite elements respectively having an inner cover layer, a polymer foam layer as the core and an outer metallic cover layer, and are fastened to a supporting structure. Each composite element has at least two fastening regions, in one fastening region the composite elements are immovably connected to the supporting structure and in the other fastening regions the composite elements are displaceably connected to the supporting structure, or the composite elements resting with the ground-facing side on a mounting and all fastening regions displaceably connected to the supporting structure.

A method includes: mounting a rail on a wall; mounting a fixture on the rail by interlocking a channel of the fixture to the rail; removing the fixture from the rail; and mounting a replacement fixture on the rail by interlocking a channel of the replacement fixture to the rail. An apparatus has: a rail with a wall contacting base side, an exterior side, and a beam formed on the exterior side; a fixture with a base side, an exterior side, and a channel formed on the base side; and in which the channel forms a female profile that reversibly interlocks via a snap fit to a male profile formed by the beam to reversibly mount the fixture on the rail, with respective longitudinal axes of the beam and the channel extending in respective axial directions along the rail. The fixture and rail may retain a panel over the substrate.

A cladding system for a wall includes a plurality of panels (3), each with first and second longitudinal edges blocked to each other and to the wall by a respective plurality of fastenings (5, 7). Removable fastening means (5) include a releasable clamping member (23) movable with respect to corresponding locking means (21) and movably joinable thereto so as to fix to the wall a concave housing means (15) of the first longitudinal edge (11) of a panel (3) that contains a first rib means (17) of the second longitudinal edge (13) of the other panel (3), the first rib being inserted in the concave housing means. The release of the releasable clamping members (23) from the respective locking means (21) of the plurality of removable fastening means (5) of the edges (11, 13) of the two adjacent panels (3) allows to release said edges (11, 13).

A storage structure is provided in which an outside surface panel can be attached and removed regardless of where the storage structure is installed. The storage structure has a plurality of columns, an outside surface panel configured to be located between two mutually adjacent columns to form a part of an outer wall, and an outward-side pressing member and an inward-side pressing member each of which can be removably attached to a column. The outside surface panel has a width which is less than a distance between the two mutually adjacent columns. The outward-side pressing member and the inward-side pressing member cooperate with each other to assist in holding the outside surface panel from both sides.

A cladding tie for providing a support connection between cladding and a vertical backup wall is disclosed. The tie has a base and a retainer assembly. The base has a shaft extending from a back plate. The retainer assembly has a retainer member, and a cladding connection member. The retainer member has a cladding connection member recess. The cladding connection member is movable relative to the retainer to permit differential movement between the cladding connection member and the retainer when the cladding connection member is connected to the retainer.
