A building siding panel is provided with an internal channel for weeping away water and the ability to hide the securing flange when the siding panel is installed on a building wall. The siding panel can be customized to have the look of a wooden panel, while retaining the benefits and durability of a non-wooden material, such as metal.

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.

[Object] To provide a wall material and a wall-material building structure that are suitable for achieving high water resistance in the wall-material building structure.

[Solution] A wall material X of the present invention has a surface-side joint portion 10 and a rear-side joint portion 20. A first resin film 31 is provided on at least one of an end surface 11a of the surface-side joint portion 10 and an end surface 21 of the rear-side joint portion 20. A second resin film 32 is provided on at least one of an extension surface 11b and an extension surface 22b. At a splice part where the surface-side joint portion 10 of one wall material X and the rear-side joint portion 20 of another wall material X are spliced together in a first direction D1, the end surfaces 11a and 21 and the first resin film 31 are disposed such that the end surfaces 11a and 21 face each other while a gap between the end surfaces 11a and 21 is filled with at least the first resin film 31, and the extension surfaces 11b and 22b and the second resin film 32 are disposed such that the extension surfaces 11b and 22b face each other while a gap between the extension surfaces 11b and 22b is filled with at least the second resin film 32. A wall-material building structure Y of the present invention is formed by using such a wall material X.

A securing member includes a fixing portion having a reference surface and fixing holes, a main bulging portion having a contact surface that comes into contact with first to fourth exterior members, a supporting portion, upper and lower engagement portions attached to the supporting portion, a lower bulging portion, and an erected portion that projects from the lower bulging portion and that is disposed on a center line of the fixing portion between the first and third exterior members. One of the fixing holes that is closest to the center line is displaced from the center line. The fixing holes are arranged asymmetrically about the center line. A first length by which the main bulging portion bulges is greater than a second length by which the lower bulging portion bulges. The length from the reference surface to the front end of the erected portion is greater than the first length.

A mounting clip (1) for the floating mounting of wall and ceiling panels consisting of composite wood materials, said panels being connected to one another without adhesive by corresponding locking profiles to form a wall or ceiling covering and being fastened to a substructure. The mounting clip has a base board (2), a receiving portion (4) formed in one piece with the base board and intended for engaging in a locking profile of a panel, wherein the receiving portion has a distancing piece (5) arranged as far as possible perpendicularly to the plane of the base board, and a contacting piece (6), which adjoins the distancing piece and is arranged as far as possible parallel to the plane of the base board, and a slot (8) is provided in the base board for fastening the mounting clip to a fastening means on the substructure the slot can be at least 1.5-4 cm long and extend transversely with respect to the contacting piece.

A siding clip may include at least one tab having a tab through hole, a base having at least one base through hole, and a side portion affixed to an edge of the at least one tab at a first side portion end and to an edge of the base at a second side portion end, thereby forming a gap between the at least one tab and the base. The tab through hole is disposed opposite to one of the at least one base through holes. The siding clip further includes at least one coupling flange having a plane parallel to a plane of the at least one tab, and having at least one insertion feature. The at least one coupling flange is disposed in a direction opposite to a direction of the at least one tab.

A fixing mechanism for a building wall material, comprising a first anchoring unit and a second anchoring unit. The first anchoring unit includes a first locking section, an abutting section and a first anchoring section. The first and second anchoring sections have an included angle of less than 90°, and the first anchoring section is adapted to be embedded in a first groove of the building wall material. The second anchoring unit includes a second locking section and a second anchoring section. The second locking section is adapted to form a locking connection with the first locking portion, and the second anchoring section is coupled to the second locking section. The second anchoring section is adapted to be embedded in a second groove of the building wall material or to be leaned against a peripheral surface of the building wall material. Thereby, the seismic capacity of the building wall material can be effectively improved. The present invention further provides a fixing method for building wall material.

A coupling system for mounting a tile to a framework of a building is disclosed. In one example of an embodiment, the coupling system includes a support bar arranged and configured for coupling to the tile and one or more clips coupled to the support bar. In one example of an embodiment, the clips include a tile-mounting opening for coupling the clips to the support bar and a frame-mounting opening for coupling the clips to the framework of the building to thereby couple the tile to the framework of the building. In one example of an embodiment, the support bar is arranged and configured for receipt within a longitudinal channel formed in the tile.

Disclosed herein, among other things, are system, methods and apparatuses for wall coverings with adjustable spacing. One aspect of the present subject matter relates to a concrete wall panel including a mounting system that includes a decorative panel with a flange embedded within the panel, the flange having mounting features providing for a number of ways to mount a plurality of such panels to a wall or other planar surface. The mounting system allows for fasteners to be used to connect the wall panel to a wall and provides a mount that has an air gap to allow for air to flow and for any moisture to pass between the wall inner surface and behind the wall panels.

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.
