Girts, systems incorporating girts, and methods of using girts are disclosed. The girts are structurally reinforced by gussets that are formed with material from the girt walls. In some embodiments, the gussets are formed via an efficient metal stamping process. The girts have a high mechanical strength, are easily manufactured, allow for water drainage and air circulation, improve thermal performance, decrease sound transmission, and reduce material, transportation and labor costs relative to traditional girts. In addition, isolators that may be used with the girts reduce thermal conductivity and divert moisture from mounting locations.

The invention provides a fire-stopping product, an insulated building façade comprising a fire-stopping product, and a method of making a fire-stopping product. The fire-stopping product comprises a resilient, porous material at least partially impregnated with an intumescent agent and held in compression by a releasable restraint. When exposed to hot gases from a fire, the restraint yields to release the resilient, porous material in an initial expansion, thereby exposing the intumescent agent to the hot gases and allowing rapid intumescence to occur. When implemented in a ventilated building façade, the fire-stopping product is able to close an air gap in a short amount of time.

A bracket assembly comprising an elongated bracket member and an end wall support member. The elongated bracket member has a body wall having an inner end and an outer end. A first end wall extends from the inner end of the body wall and a second end wall extends from the outer end. The end wall support member is attached to each of the first end wall and the second end wall. The bracket member further comprises a plurality of fibers within a resin matrix. The plurality of fibers includes at least one fiber fabric extending from the first end wall to the second end wall.

The invention of the present disclosure may be a temporary structure comprising a plurality of conduits, each conduit comprising a lumen and a standard length; a plurality of connectors, each of the plurality of connectors comprising at least one attachment member, wherein each of the at least one attachment members is configured to reversibly attach to at least one of the plurality of conduits, and wherein each of the lumens is sized to accept at least one attachment member; and a plurality of panels, wherein each of the plurality of panels is configured to reversibly attach to at least two of the plurality of conduits.

A resilient channel for joining a board to a support such as a stud, joist or truss in building construction, has a mounting flange and a face flange joined by a web. The mounting flange has a first foot and a second foot disposed at ends of the flange, the first foot bent back toward the support to be disposed between the mounting flange and the support, the second foot bent toward the support, such that the first foot and second foot are disposed to bridge the mounting flange over the support to define a gap between at least a portion of the mounting flange and the support. The face flange has a first bend and a second bend disposed at ends of the flange, and corrugations between the first bend and the second bend.

A mobile home skirting base comprising: a horizontal surface; and two vertical members co-extruded with the horizontal surface forming a channel to insert a mobile home skirting panel wherein a height of one of the vertical members is greater than a height of another one of the vertical members. One of the vertical members also comprises a hook-shaped retention edge. The mobile home skirting base allows the mobile home skirting base to provide strong support, stabilization, and protection of the skirting panels.

A wall structure having an inner wall, a bracket member, a non-combustible board, and an outer cladding coupled together and retaining insulation between the inner wall and the outer cladding. The non-combustible board is positioned between the bracket member and the outer cladding.

A method for obtaining a vertical or horizontal profiled element for the interconnection of plasterboard panels to walls, in particular to plasterboard walls that can be applied to in-wall frames for retractable sliding doors or for the provision of drywall dividing walls. The method entails a continuous machining of a metallic lamina by punching or drawing or rolling obtained by using two rollers, one acting as a die and the other acting as a punch, so as to obtain on the metallic lamina a plurality of holes, which are uniformly distributed according to a series of mutually parallel rows.

A system for supporting exterior panels on a substrate of a building structure. The system has a plurality of polymeric bracket members, and each of the bracket members have at least one anchor section, at least one web section and at least one support section. The polymeric bracket members provide a thermal break from the exterior panel to the substrate of the building structure. A plurality of exterior cladding units are held in place by the bracket members. A plurality of vents are disposed between the panels and the exterior panels, and a plurality of vents are also disposed between the panels and the substrate, thereby forming a ventilation system.

Described is a set of panels (1,2), each panel comprising: ⋅ a top surface (5) and a bottom surface (4); ⋅ a first edge (6) and a second edge (7) parallel to the first edge (6), said edges (6, 7) extending between said top and bottom surfaces (5, 4); ⋅ a first groove (10) provided in the bottom surface (4) of each panel, said first groove (10) extending parallel to and along the first edge (6) of the panel; ⋅ a second groove (11) provided in the bottom surface (4) of each panel, said second groove (11) extending parallel to the first groove (10) along the second edge (7) of the panel; ⋅ a locking profile (3) allowing locking a first panel (1) with its first edge (6) to the second edge (7) of a second panel (2), said locking profile (3) comprising a base (16) and at least three protruding rims (17, 18, 19) extending parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the locking profile (3), a first rim (17) pressed in the first groove (10) of a first panel (1) and a second rim (18) situated in between the first and third rims (17, 19) of each locking profile (3) and cooperating with a part of the first panel (1) such that a section (13) of the bottom surface (4) of the first panel (1) is clamped between the first rim and the second rim (17, 18) of the locking profile (3), the third rim (19) configured to fit in the second groove (11) of a second panel (2) thereby locking the second panel (2) to the first panel (1), characterised in that at least the second rim (18) is continuous along the entire length of the locking profile (3). Further described is a method of manufacturing the set of panels.
