A façade comprises a façade panel, a hanger and a fastener extending through the hanger into a blind hole provided at the façade panel. The fastener comprises a shaft defining a fastening direction and has a front face facing in the fastening direction for penetrating the façade panel and a back end facing in a direction opposite to the fastening direction, and a head arranged at the back end and having a bearing surface facing in the fastening direction for bearing on the hanger. The front face has an outer edge at an outer circumference of the shaft and a recess falling short in the fastening direction with respect to the outer edge.

A fastening system for covering elements, the fastening system comprising an anchoring profiled element that can be mounted to a substructure and a clip element that can be mounted to the covering element and latched to the anchoring profiled element, wherein the anchoring profiled element has at least one latching protrusion on each of two opposite faces and the clip element has the shape of a U with a central web and two legs, and wherein, in the latched position, the clip element extends over the anchoring profiled element in the manner of a clamp and each leg latches to a latching protrusion in the manner of a snap hook.

A wall is made with the aid of drywall panels and a background. The drywall panels are provided with edge coupling profiles on their edges, which are arranged to be secured to the background and, subsequently, coupled to each other. The drywall panels may also be provided with a rear coupling profile. The drywall panels can be hooked together or coupled to each other by means of transverse sliding. The edge coupling profiles may also comprise anti-adhesive extensions, forming anti-adhesive edge areas at the front side of the drywall panel on which stucco mass does not adhere. The measures according to the invention are intended to provide drywall panels which, after use, can be disassembled easily and cleanly so that the drywall panels can be reused as drywall panels, resulting in that the environment is not burdened with gypsum waste caused by damaged, broken and destroyed drywall panels.

A thermal break system for securing wall panels to an existing wall includes a furring member connected between the existing wall and the wall panels, the furring member including at two foot walls adapted to be connected to the existing wall, at least one spacing wall having one end connected to the foot walls and extending in a direction transverse to the at least one foot wall and the existing wall, and a connection wall connected to an opposite end of the at least one spacing wall and extending in a direction transverse to the at least one spacing wall for connection either directly to adjacent wall panels or indirectly to adjacent wall panels through at least one intermediary member; and a thermal insulation cover positioned at least between the at least one foot wall and the existing wall.

A privacy apparatus includes one or more substantially cork panels. Each panel can be configured to provide visual and/or sound privacy for a certain work space. The panel can be supported on a floor via one or more base elements and/or may be reinforced in rigidity and/or strength via one or more supports. Some embodiments of the apparatus can include a first panel and a second panel attached together via one or more supports press fit within openings defined in rear faces of the panels.

A wood or manufactured wood-composite based siding used on concrete wall or concrete masonry unit (CMU, or block) construction (including, but not limited to, insulated concrete form construction) with an integrated rainscreen feature. The rainscreen feature or component is applied to, or integrated into or with, the back of the siding (i.e., the inner surface) during the manufacturing process, or in a secondary process thereafter. The features may include raised elements, strips or ridges from approximately 1/16 to approximately ¾ inches tall, with one or more channels or spaces. No job-site assembly is required, thereby reducing time and cost.

The system for removably securing slats juxtaposed to form a deck, for example for a terrace, includes fasteners disposed in rows on level floor or joist or beam structure supports oriented perpendicular to the axis of the slats. The fasteners have a device for securing the supports to the slats. A plurality of impermeable channels is disposed parallel for a level floor, or at a rate of one impermeable channel for each joist or beam support. The top surface of the support, a device for removable securing and a device for positioning provided on the profiled section are covered. The fasteners are made of a flexible elastic material, and the device for positioning allows clearance in a direction of an axis of the channel.

A wood or manufactured wood-composite based siding used on concrete wall or concrete masonry unit (CMU, or block) construction (including, but not limited to, insulated concrete form construction) with an integrated rainscreen feature. The rainscreen feature or component is applied to, or integrated into or with, the back of the siding (i.e., the inner surface) during the manufacturing process, or in a secondary process thereafter. The features may include raised elements, strips, ridges, or wedges, with one or more channels or spaces. No job-site assembly is required, thereby reducing time and cost.

A double return panel system utilizing a perimeter extrusion having an arm terminating in an end portion configured to contact and twice bend a panel. The panel fits into a slot formed adjacent the arm. The perimeter extrusion is held to a facade by a base member.

An exterior wall or roof of a building comprises an inner sheathing member having an exterior facing surface, an outer building material installed adjacent and covering the exterior facing surface of the inner sheathing member, and a spacer secured between the inner sheathing member and the outer building material. The spacer is a continuous length of material formed by at least a first parallel set of ribs extending diagonally relative to a second parallel set of ribs thereby forming an openwork lattice structure. The first set of ribs forms a front face of the material, the second set or additional set of ribs forms a rear face of the material, and the first and second set of ribs are interconnected intermediate of the front and rear faces. Each of the first and second set of ribs extend diagonally relative to horizontal and vertical directions within the wall or roof.
