A leveling coating structure with quick installation and removal includes a plurality of parallel sections; a multiplicity of clips having a head with a stem and a bushing with inserts, the stem being inserted in a through hole of the section and rotatably retained by the inserts of the bushing which is in abutment with the bottom of the base frame opposite to the head of the clip; a succession of slats having opposite lateral grooves which the head of the clip engages. Each section is made of light alloy with a C-shaped cross-section having a core for supporting the slats and wings for the insertion of the bushings between them. Each clip is retained by the section with the head in abutment with the core for supporting the slats and the bushing in abutment with the free ends of the wings.

A rectangular or square wall- or ceiling panel is provided, comprising a first profile a first profile on two opposing edges, whereby each such first profile consists of a panel groove, an inner leg on an installation side of a panel and an outer leg on an visible side of a panel, both inner leg and an outer leg confining said panel groove, wherein both said outer legs are longer than said inner legs. A further second profile may be provided on at least one of the other two opposing edges of the panel, said at least one second profile consisting of a recess on the installation side of the panel. The visible side may be a decorative side.

A cladding clip comprising a lateral base, a head coupled to the lateral base, and a flexible lip upstanding from the lateral base and laterally spaced from the neck along the base is disclosed. The flexible lip is hooked so that a lateral part of the lip extends laterally spaced from the base.

In certain embodiments, a system includes a curtain wall member and a first curtain wall member mounting apparatus coupled to a first end of the curtain wall member. The first curtain wall member mounting apparatus includes a mounting plate and an arm having one or more projections. The first curtain wall member mounting apparatus engages with a first curtain wall member supporting channel having a vertically-disposed member and a horizontally-disposed supporting member having a receiving-and-retaining member extending from an end opposite the vertically-disposed member. The receiving-and-retaining member engages with a channel adjacent to one or more projections of the first curtain wall member mounting apparatus. The first curtain wall member mounting apparatus is adapted to be rotated into position such that a connection mechanism at a second end of the curtain wall member engages with a second curtain wall member supporting channel to retain the curtain wall member in position.

A releasable locking mechanism for attaching a vertical panel to a support member comprises a first component attached to the back of the panel and a second component attached to the top of the support member. The first component includes an engagement tab that projects outward from the rear surface of the panel. The second component includes a tensioned lever arm comprising a locking edge that may be positioned over the engagement tab and hold it in place. An opposing tail of the lever arm may be moved by an individual, which then rotates the locking edge away from engagement tab and allows the panel to lifted away from the support structure.

Provided is a ventilation member suitable for ensuring the ventilation of a ventilation layer provided on the back side of a wall material. A ventilation member X according to the present invention is a ventilation member that can be attached to a wall material, and includes a fixed plate portion 10, a top plate portion 20, a partition plate portion 30, a bottom plate portion 40, a front plate portion 50, and a first baffle plate portion 61. The fixed plate portion 10 has a first surface that abuts against a building framework, and a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface, and includes a first end portion 13 located on one side in a state in which the ventilation member X is attached to the wall material, and a second end portion 14 located on another side. The top plate portion 20 extends from the first end portion 13 of the fixed plate portion 10 on the second surface side. The partition plate portion 30 extends from the top plate portion 20 in a direction from the first end portion toward the second end portion of the fixed plate portion 10. The bottom plate portion 40 extends from the partition plate portion 30 in a direction away from the fixed plate portion 10. The front plate portion 50 extends from the bottom plate portion 40 in a direction from the second end portion toward the first end portion of the fixed plate portion 10. The first baffle plate portion 61 extends from the front plate portion 50 to the partition plate portion 30 side. The bottom plate portion 40 has a first hole 42. A wall material construction structure Y1 according to the present invention includes such a ventilation member X.

A coupling system for mounting a tile to an outer surface of a building is disclosed. In one embodiment, the coupling system includes support tracks arranged and configured to couple the tile to the building. The support tracks may include integrally formed clips for coupling with the tiles. The clips may be arranged and configured to couple to a top portion of a lower tile and a bottom portion of an upper tile. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the coupling system may include a gasket coupled to the support tracks. The gasket may include first and second arms. The support tracks may include integrally formed, first and second inwardly extending legs for receiving the first and second arms, respectively, of the gasket. In use, the coupling system facilitates faster and easier manufacturability and assembly as compared to other known systems thus providing a more cost-effective solution, particularly when used with smaller tiles.

A connecting device for connecting a first building element and first building panel, the connecting device including at least one primary connecting means extending in a direction along a primary axis and configured to cooperate with a first mechanical locking system of a first edge of the first building element, to obtain an assembled position therewith, preferably by means of a folding displacement of the connecting device about the primary axis, to thereby lock the connecting device from displacement along a secondary axis and a perpendicular tertiary axis each being orthogonal the primary axis. The connecting device includes secondary connecting means extending in a direction along the tertiary axis and configured to cooperate with a second mechanical locking system of respective first and opposite second edges of the first and preferably second building panel, wherein the connecting device further includes tertiary means for cooperating with the first panel.
