A faade structure is described, preferably a curtain-wall back-ventilated faade structure, with a substructure formed from support profiles which is arranged in front of a building wall and anchored fixedly in the floor and/or in the building wall, with extruded faade tiles made of ceramic material, preferably clay material, which are fastened to the substructure via tile holders. In order to be able to arrange the faade tiles in the vertical format, in addition to the tile holders which grip on the vertical edges of the faade tiles, it is provided that weight-supporting holders, which have receivers which engage in each case in a lower edge of the faade tiles, are fastened to the support profiles to which the tile holders are fastened or to further support profiles of the substructure directly or via separate supports.

A privacy apparatus includes one or more substantially cork panels. Each panel can be configured to provide visual and/or sound privacy for a certain work space. The panel can be supported on a floor via one or more base elements and/or may be reinforced in rigidity and/or strength via one or more supports. Some embodiments of the apparatus can include a first panel and a second panel attached together via one or more supports press fit within openings defined in rear faces of the panels.

A double return panel system utilizing a perimeter extrusion having an arm terminating in an end portion configured to contact and twice bend a panel. The panel fits into a slot formed adjacent the arm. The perimeter extrusion is held to a facade by a base member.

A system for mounting plurality of panels includes a carrier part for receiving and supporting the panels at intervals along the length, and a locking strip. The carrier part and the locking strip can be mounted to each other to couple the locking strip relative to the carrier part in a locked position with an elongate edge of the locking strip engaging with the panels.

An anchor-free system for fastening cladding panels is composed of a two-element hanger. An upper element of the hanger is connected with a bottom element of the hanger. The contact area of this connection forms a shelf. There is an opening to accommodate an adjustment bolt. The upper element of the hanger has the form of a vertical wall closed in the bottom with a horizontal or inclined shelf having openings for screws. The vertical wall of the upper element of the hanger is has a tongue located at an angle relative to the vertical wall of the upper element of the hanger. The bottom element of the hanger has the form of two vertical walls connected in the top with a horizontal or inclined shelf having openings for the screws. The vertical wall of the bottom element makes a hitch for the base profile of an installation substructure.

The present invention relates to a lamella front surface system (1), comprising at least one lamella (2), at least two metal mounting elements (3) each having a mounting axis, configured to be attached to a support (4), e.g. the face of a building, each of the metal mounting elements comprising mounting side (6) abutting the face in its mounted position, an interfacing side (7) arranged opposite the mounting side, the interfacing side comprising attachment means (8), wherein the lamella front surface system further comprises a fixation element (5) having a longitudinal extension (FA) and having a body (9) having a first side (10) comprising interfacing means (12, 13) configured to be connected with the attachment means, and a second side (11) configured to support the lamella in a position which is substantially perpendicular to the mounting axis of the metal mounting elements, and wherein the lamella is made from a non-metal material. The present invention also relates to use of the lamella front surface system according to the present invention.

A concealed fastening system suitable for securing a cladding element to a substrate may include a receiver comprising a base section and side sections extending from the base section such that a central cavity is formed, each side section comprising a hook remote from the base section; and a rail comprising a base element and side arms extending from the base element. The rail may seat within the central cavity of the receiver such that the side arms of the rail abut the hook of the receiver. In use, either the receiver or the rail may attach to a substrate and the other of the receiver or rail connects to a cladding element. The system optionally further comprises a bracket to which an adaptor plate is attached. In use, the bracket and adaptor plate may be seated between the substrate and either of the receiver or rail.

A tile hanging system attached to an installation surface, including mounting components fixed to the installation surface and tiles attached to the mounting component. The mounting component includes fitting members extending upward from top surface of the mounting component. The fitting members are integrally formed with the mounting components. The tiles are abutted against to each other, and each tile has an inclined groove. The inclined groove is attached to the fitting member. The inclined groove includes a first mounting portion arranged on side of the tile away from the decorative surface and a second mounting portion extending from the first mounting portion into the interior of the tile. The fitting member includes a first connecting portion extending upward from the mounting component. The first connecting portion abuts the first mounting portion, and a second connecting portion extending from the first connecting portion into the second mounting portion.

A tile hanging system includes mounting components and tiles. The mounting components are secured to an installation surface, the mounting component having multiple integral fitting members extending upward from its top. The tiles provide inclined groove on side, and the inclined groove is hung on and attached to the mounting component. The inclined groove includes a first mounting portion away from the tile decorative surface. The flap mounting portion is extended from one side of the first mounting portion. The fitting member includes a first connecting portion. The first connecting portion is abutted against the first mounting portion. A connecting flap is attached to one side of the first connecting portion. The connecting flap is fitted into the flap mounting portion. This structure significantly speeds up the installation and disassembly processes, and due to the relatively simple hanging structure, overall costs are substantially reduced, thereby enhancing market competitiveness.

The invention is related to an attachment system comprising one or more panels (1) provided with pairs of mutually parallel grooves (11) through the back surface of the panels, a plurality of support profiles (3) and a plurality of support brackets (10). The support profiles (3) comprise at least a portion having an L-shaped section comprising a first leg portion (4) and a second leg portion (5), so that the support profiles may be attached vertically to a wall (2) with the second leg portion (5) oriented at a distance from the wall and parallel thereto. The support brackets (10) are formed of a first and second bracket profile (15.16) configured to be assembled by inserting respective leg portions (18) of the bracket profiles into the grooves (11) of a pair of grooves, and securing wall portions (19) of the bracket profiles to each other, thereby assembling the bracket and simultaneously clamping the bracket in said grooves (11). The bracket profiles are further provided with transversal portions (24:25.26), configured to form a half-closed space (27), enabling to slide the second leg portion (5) of the support profiles (3) into said half-closed space, when a panel provided with the assembled brackets (10) is shifted horizontally. At least two of the brackets attached to a panel are provided with elongated portions (12) configured to extend beyond the upper edge (13) of the panel, enabling the fixation of these brackets and thereby of the panel to the vertical support profiles (3) attached to the wall.
