The mounting means 16 provides adjustability of the cladding panel 4, 6, 8 relatively to the building structure towards or away from the building and/or upwards or downwards with respect to the building and/or laterally with respect to the building. The cladding panel comprises a frame 10 and a backing member 12 mounted on the frame 10 wherein the backing member 12 is suitable for receiving covering elements thereto. The mounting means 16 comprises a building mounting component 20 to be mounted to the building during installation. The mounting means 16 further comprises a cladding-panel mounting component 22, 88 to be mounted to the cladding panel 4, 6, 8.

Building cladding systems with changeable appearances are described. The building cladding system may include a plurality of panels, a substrate, and a controller configured to move the plurality of panels relative to the substrate to change the appearance of the building cladding system, while protecting the substrate. Moving the plurality of panels to change the appearance of the building cladding system may include rotation.

A masonry veneer support assembly for mounting masonry veneer to supporting wall structure has a shelf angle, and first and second shelf angle mounting brackets. Each shelf angle mounting bracket has an upwardly extending back that mounts to the supporting wall structure, and a web extending forwardly away from the wall structure. The web has first and second shelf angle mounting seats formed therein. The first shelf angle mounting seat is upwardly spaced from the second shelf angle mounting seat. Hangers in the form of two-part separable brackets are provided to permit masonry veneer to be mounted underneath the shelf angle, thereby concealing it from view.

A method and a structure are described that allow covers to be simply and quickly applied to building walls and façades, regardless of whether the walls are inside or outside, flat or curved, ventilated or not. First, the method provides for making a bearing surface, parallel to the wall, by using flexible panels, then constraining the bearing surface to the wall by fastening elements whose orientation can be adjusted, next precisely adjusting the orientation of the bearing surface from the wall by acting selectively on the single fastening elements, and finally fastening the cover, for example marble slabs, to the bearing surface. The support structure includes the just described elements.

A modular wall assembly using a solenoid is disclosed. The modular wall assembly includes a plurality of main frames fixed to an installation surface; a supply line mounted on an inside of each of the plurality of main frames; a withdrawal connector arranged exposed on an outside of each of the plurality of main frames; a plurality of installation frames arranged in two dimensions in the plurality of main frames; a detachable unit mounted on each of the plurality of installation frames; and a coupling connector mounted on each of the plurality of installation frames. According to the present invention, a panel is easily assembled and installed, a product requiring water, a signal, or electricity is easily installed, and various types of wall structures are provided.

The present disclosure relates generally to surface panels for covering a building surface. The disclosure relates more particularly to a surface panel kit and system including a set of panels for attaching to a support structure. Each of the panels includes opposing ends, and each end includes one of a group of end configurations. A first end configuration is mateable with a first portion of the group and is unmateable with a second portion of the group, and a second end configuration is mateable with a third portion of the group and is unmateable with a fourth portion of the group. The set of panels includes at least three panel types including a first panel type with the first and second end configurations, a second panel type with the first and without the second end configurations, and a third panel type with the second and without the first end configurations.

The present disclosure relates generally to cladding, for example, suitable for use covering the exterior surface of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a siding panel including a light source. The siding panel includes a panel body having a length extending from a first end to a second end, a width extending from a first edge to a second edge, a front face, and a rear face. A first lock extends along the first edge of the panel body and a second lock extending along the second edge of the panel body. A fastening strip is coupled to the first lock. A light source extending along the length of the panel body is secured to the panel body so as to provide light from the front face of the panel body.

Systems and methods for a pressure equalized rainscreen (PER) and for mounting the same to a building. A PER system includes a panel disposed over an exterior wall that defines a cavity adjacent to the building for pressure equalization. Moisture is drained out of the cavity via a first opening(s), and air flows into and out of the cavity for pressure equalization via a second opening(s). The panel is configured to hinder flowing air via the first opening(s) and hinder draining moisture via the second opening(s). The PER system is mounted using a plurality of mounting strips that demarcate wall portions corresponding to panels for covering those wall portions. Each panel is movably engaged with a mounting strip for support and to allow deformation of the panel once fastened to the exterior wall.

The present invention discloses an assembly of prefabricated wall modular decoration, comprising a conventional decorative material, a plate, a movable laminating layer and a protective layer. The conventional decorative material being mounted on the surface of the plate, a number of movable laminating layers being evenly spaced between the plate and the protective layer making a sound-insulated air gap between them, and the protective layer being mounted on the surface of the wall. The present invention also discloses an installation method for the assembly above. Due to the traditional decorative material, the plate, the active lamination layer, and the protective layer of the present invention are set to be installed on the wall in turn, together with the sound-insulated air gap within the structure, which is not only simple to manufacture and easy to install, but also has better sound absorption performance which could reduce the noise nuisance.

Fire resistant lightweight cladding 10 comprising thin sheet material having an outer layer which is predominantly steel and a thicker inner layer which is predominantly aluminium, the inner layer being a supporting layer and the sheet material being formed into a panel of predetermined outline and used in a fire-resistant wall panel assembly comprising a substrate supporting outer cladding sheets in side by side relation, each cladding sheet being a composite of a relatively thin steel layer and a relatively thick aluminium layer, the sheets described herein have a steel outer layer which is about 4 mm thick and an aluminium layer is about 2 mm thick and panel density from 6 kg/m2 to 9 kg/m2. The panels were tested according to British Standard BS 8414-22015 (amdt 1) as modified by Australian 5113-2016 (amdt 1) and the specimen passes the classification criteria 5.4.4(b) which concerns the temperature differential from outer fireside and inside and 5.4.5(g) which concerns debris.
