Architectural panel systems, and methods of installing architectural panels on support structures. Architectural panel systems can include support brackets attaching architectural panels to a support structure, first fasteners attaching the support brackets to the architectural panels, and second fasteners attaching the support brackets to the support structure. Methods of installing an architectural panel system can include attaching architectural panels to support brackets with first fasteners, positioning the support brackets on a support structure, and attaching the support brackets to the support structure with second fasteners, for example, that extend through the support brackets. Architectural panels can include interior cutouts that pass sunlight to form aesthetic patterns of sunlight and shade in an occupied space. Support brackets can include opposite sides, four quadrants, through holes containing studs extending from one side of the plate, a center hole, or a combination thereof.

This invention relates to a prefabricated insulated wall panel system with a resizable structure that can readily meet the on-site substrate dimensional tolerance by enabling the panel connectors to be cut, tailored on-site, and inserted and patched without damaging the watertightness structure as well as the continuous insulation structure of the exterior cladding system. In particular, the invention discloses the structure of the watertightness and insulated connectors at the joint of two adjacent insulated wall panels, wherein the panel positioning plate, functioning as a panel-to-panel watertightness connector and panel locker, is embraced by the two grooves at edges of the two adjacent panels, and installed in the grooves to interlock the two adjacent wall panels to accomplish watertightness structure, while wherein the insulated panel patch, functioning as a panel-to-panel continuous insulation patch, is patched on the back of the panel positioning plate to accomplish continuous insulation structure at joints of the panels. The invention also discloses that both of the said plate and patch can be tailored on-site upon the measurement variance of substrate wall at the panel joint to accomplish the seamless panel installation without damage watertightness and continuous insulation structure.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for installing a closure assembly into a framed opening having sheathing arranged around the framed opening. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include use of at least one support bracket along the framed opening and the sheathing.

A roofing, cladding or siding module is described. The module comprises an underlapping region adapted to be substantially covered by an exposed region of an adjacent overlapping module when installed on a building surface. A plurality of projections are formed on an underside of the underlapping region. The projections are feet to support the module on the building surface to provide a gap between the module and the building surface, and/or provide a profile on the underside of the underlapping region to define a pathway for air flow between the module and the building surface. Each projection is formed by a downwardly projecting portion of the underlapping region with a corresponding cavity in an upper side of the underlapping region, and the cavity is shaped to prevent or minimize water pooling in the cavity.

A roofing, cladding, or siding apparatus comprises a roofing, cladding, or siding module and at least one clip. The module comprises an underlapping region and an exposed region. The underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent overlapping module when installed on a building surface. A projection extends from the exposed region to provide a bearing surface facing the under surface of the exposed region. The clip or clips is attachable to the underlapping region to provide a tongue adapted to be received between the bearing surface and the under surface of the exposed region of an adjacent overlapping module when installed on a building surface.

The present invention relates to a masonry panel for installation on a surface with the panel comprising a front-side surface and a back-side surface with the front-side surface including at least one mortar joint on the front-side surface. The masonry panel also comprises at least one fastener insert positioned within the at least one mortar joint with the at least one fastener insert comprising a transformable end to cover a fastener head once the fastener head has passed through the transformable end and a rigid tube connected to the transformable end allowing the fastener to travel through the panel.

A structure-lining apparatus comprising a plurality of transversely and longitudinally extending panels connectable to a structure and connectable edge-to-edge via complementary connector components on their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises transversely extending edges generally orthogonal to their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises first and second complementary connector components on first and second longitudinally extending edges thereof. The apparatus comprises at least one edge-to-edge connection between a first connector component of a first panel and a second connector component of a second panel wherein a primary male connector component of the second connector component of the second panel is extended into a primary female connector component of the first connector component of the first panel and a secondary male connector component of the first connector component of the first panel is extended into a secondary female connector component of the second connector component of the second panel.

A metal wall material 1 according to the present invention comprises: a front substrate 10 made of a metal sheet, the front substrate 10 comprising a body portion 100 formed into a box shape; a back substrate 11 arranged on a back side of the front substrate 10 so as to cover an opening of the body portion 100; and a core material 12 filled between the body portion 100 and the back substrate 11, the metal wall material 1 being tightened to a wall base by driving at least one tightening member into the body portion 100, wherein a top plate portion 101 of the body portion 100 comprises at least one protruding rib 3 comprised of at least one protrusion 30 disposed along a side of a polygon or along a circle, and wherein the metal wall material 1 is configured such that the tightening member is driven into an inner region 3a of the protruding rib 3.

A ledger configured for attaching to a structure, such as a house or building, is described. The ledger comprises first and second walls, a first ledge joining the first and second walls, and a second ledge also joining the first and second walls. The first and second walls and the first and the second ledges define a channel that separates the first and second walls and separates the first and second ledges. The channel is open at both a first side of the ledger, and a second side of the ledger opposite the first side of the ledger. In some implementations, the ledger further includes a third ledge. The first and second ledges join the second wall on a first side of the second wall. The third ledge is disposed on a second side of the second wall opposite the first side of the second wall.

A removable connector used for connecting two or more wall panels. The connector is accessible to a user in a vertical space between the connected wall panels open to both front face and rear face of each panel. The user is able to easily engage and move the connector, relative to the wall panels, to latch and unlatch the connector with a view to connecting and disconnect the panels.
