A manufacturing assembly and method produce a wire mesh including a plurality of longitudinal members and a monolithic transverse member secured to the plurality of longitudinal members. The monolithic transverse member includes a plurality of transverse portions that define a first cross-sectional shape, and further includes a plurality of longitudinal portions that define a second cross-sectional shape different than the first cross-sectional shape.

The present disclosure relates generally to building surface joint supports, for example, configured to bridge and support the seam between two building surface panels. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a joint support configured to support a joint between building surface panels. The joint support includes a longitudinal support strip including a first end, a second end, a first side edge, a second side edge, an inner surface, and an outer surface. An inner layer of adhesive is distributed over the inner surface of the longitudinal support strip and is configured to bond with a joint compound. The adhesive of the inner layer includes a polysaccharide.

A stay-in-place concrete formwork system allows stucco to be applied directly to the formwork, avoiding the need to provide a further surface treatment of the wall prior to applying stucco. Apertures are provided on an exterior facing wall of the formwork panel to receive and embed stucco therein. The panel may also be formed with outward stucco-engaging projections. Other features include using rigid insulation to brace the stucco and keep concrete from the apertures, a sealing joint element, extendible panels for use in curved formwork, rainscreen features and an alligator connector panel for adjustable lengths of formwork faces.

A corner drywall section has a drywall corner extending vertically from a floor to a ceiling. Further, the corner drywall section has a first wing extending a first side of the drywall corner at a first angle such that the first wing extends horizontally to a first stud, the first wing extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling and a second wing extending from a second side of the drywall corner at a second angle such that the second wing extends horizontally to a second stud, the second wing extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling, wherein the drywall corner, the first wing, and the second wing are a unitary piece of drywall.

The present disclosure provides a grid fixing apparatus including a spacer-integrated retaining clip and a grid fixing method using the same capable of integrally forming a retaining clip and a spacer, forming a grid fixing apparatus to be tacked into an object through an anchor pin to firmly fix a grid reinforcement material to a surface or an outer side of the object, and fixing the grid reinforcement material in vertical and horizontal directions to precisely construct the grid reinforcement material and capable of being applied to all grid reinforcement materials manufactured in a lattice shape, such as a metallic mesh, a geogrid, and a textile grid made of a high-strength fiber, and being utilized in construction of a grid reinforcement material to which various binders such as concrete, mortar, a pavement material, and a finishing material are applied.

An exterior finishing system for a building is disclosed herein. The exterior finishing system may include a panel comprised of high density closed-cell foam, the panel securable to a substrate of a building. The exterior finishing system may further include a bonding layer disposed upon a surface of the panel, the bonding layer comprising water and acrylic polymer. The exterior finishing system may further include an exterior layer comprising calcium carbonate disposed upon a surface of the bonding layer. Methods of use of the exterior finishing system are also disclosed.

An apparatus and method for securing a deformable material to a wall structure such that the deformable material is allowed to solidify to form a predetermined configuration upon the wall structure, includes securing a fabric member to a wall structure, the fabric member having a configuration that supports a deformable material that ultimately solidifies; a plurality of offset strips (when required) that separate the fabric member from the wall structure to provide an air gap; and fasteners that maintain the relative position of the fabric upon the wall structure throughout the application of the deformable material upon the fabric member, the configuring of a design into the deformable material, and after the deformable material has solidified.
