A system for mounting wall panels to a wall frame or other surface, and methods for assembling and using such a system. The disclosed system may include a plurality of mounting brackets, an adjustable wall panel support mechanism coupled to the mounting brackets, and a wall panel attachment member such as a hook plate. The position and orientation of the wall panel attachment member relative to the mounting brackets may be precisely adjusted, allowing fine adjustments in the position and orientation of a wall panel after the wall panel has been installed.

A system for mounting wall panels to an existing wall, includes adjustment support members secured to an existing wall and including a platform and a side wall extending from a side thereof and including elongated slots therein; connecting panels connecting together spaced apart adjustment support members, each connecting panel including a main panel and a side wall having a slot therein which opens at one edge of the side wall for receipt in an elongated slot; and a hook member including a securing section to which a wall panel is mounted, an L-shaped hook wall so as to receive a connecting panel in a space between the L-shaped hook wall and the securing section, and an adjustment arrangement for adjusting a position of the hook wall on the securing section so as to move the hook wall toward and away from the securing section.

A method of reinforcing and optionally insulating a building is provided. A stronger and incrementally adjustable method of securing a metal framework of vertical and horizontal rails to an array of screw-threaded tie bar ends projecting from the outer wall of a high rise building. The method involves placing, over each projecting tie bar end, a fixing plate that has a profiled outer face. The bar end passes through a vertical or horizontal elongated slot formed in the fixing plate. A locking plate is placed over each projecting tie bar end and has a profiled inner face. The profiles of the inner face of the locking plate and the outer face of the fixing plate are complementary, allowing the two plates to mate with each other in any of a number of alternative positions relative to each other.

The disclosed system may include a plurality of mounting brackets, an adjustable wall panel support mechanism coupled to the mounting brackets, and a wall panel attachment member such as a hook plate. The position and orientation of the wall panel attachment member relative to the mounting brackets may be precisely adjusted, allowing fine adjustments in the position and orientation of a wall panel after the wall panel has been installed.

A roof, wall or faade structure suitable for new flat or pitched roofs, or renovation or reconstruction thereof, to a kit of parts for constructing, reconstructing or renovating a roof, wall or faade structure and a method for constructing or reconstructing a roof, wall or faade structure.

Floor-to-floor panel mounting systems may include one or more facade panel hanger assemblies which individually or collectively facilitate mounting and attaching wall panels (e.g., exterior facade panels) to an exterior or interior wall of a building. Each hanger assembly includes one or more vertically extending mounting beams which extend between opposing floor slabs of the building, and which are configured to be operatively coupled to one or more wall panels. Each hanger assembly includes a respective mounting assembly fixed to each of the opposing floor slabs of the building and configured to be operatively coupled the ends of one or more of the mounting beams. The hanger assemblies each include a height adjustment mechanism and a depth adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the positions of the facade panels relative to the wall of the building post-installation of the wall panels on the hanger assemblies.

A system for mounting wall panels to a wall frame or other surface, and methods for assembling and using such a system. The disclosed system may include a plurality of mounting brackets, an adjustable wall panel support mechanism coupled to the mounting brackets, and a wall panel attachment member such as a hook plate. The position and orientation of the wall panel attachment member relative to the mounting brackets may be precisely adjusted, allowing fine adjustments in the position and orientation of a wall panel after the wall panel has been installed.

A modular system for continuously insulating exterior walls of a structure and cladding the structure walls provides thermally isolated MFI-brackets secured to a structural wall supporting thermally isolated vertical or horizontal rails supporting exterior cladding. Thermal insulation is positionally retained against the structure wall interior of the exterior cladding by the MFI-brackets and a pressure equalized moisture controlling rain screen is maintained between the interior surface of the exterior cladding and an exterior facing surface of the insulation.

An adjustable building panel support device comprising a building panel support element, a support bracket and at least one connector suitable for attaching an insulated building panel to a substrate for constructing an insulated wall section. The building support element and the support bracket are fixable together at a user determinable position by the at least one connector whereby the distance between the building panel support element and the support bracket can be varied to accommodate surface variations that may be present on a substrate surface.

A mounting rail for attachment to a building has a base with a top edge and a bottom edge. A pivot member projects from the base and provides a pivot point structure. A gripping flange extends from the base toward the pivot point structure and provides a gripping surface between the bottom edge and the pivot point structure. A slot is thus formed in the mounting rail. The mounting rail also has an anchor portion between the gripping surface and the bottom edge. A mounting system for mounting panels on a building includes mounting rails and a plurality of panel brackets for engaging panels to be mounted on the building by engaging the mounting rail slot at one end and the anchor portion at the other end. A method for mounting panels on a building by the use of the system is disclosed.
