A leveling clip and tile leveling device for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling clip includes a body defining an opening that is configured to accept a wedge device thereat. Tapered legs extend from the body and join a base at a base to body coupling. The base extends to a front and a rear of the body. The base to body coupling includes a frangible breakaway section that is integral prior to frangible separation and the frangible breakaway section, upon breaking, frangibly separates the body from the base. The leveling clip may be used with the wedge device to install two, three, or four tiles.

A levelling spacer device for laying slab-shaped products including a base having a lower surface and an opposite upper surface defining a support plane for at least two tiles placed side by side, which is placed at a first distance from the lower surface, a spacer bridge provided with two legs placed side by side between each other along a flanking direction and each one rising from a portion of the opposite upper surface. Each leg is frangibly connected to the respective base portion by a predefined fracture line placed at a second distance from the lower surface greater than the first distance. A crosspiece, joins the top of the two legs, and a through opening peripherally delimited at the top by the crosspiece, laterally by the legs and at the bottom by a central portion of the upper surface coplanar with the support plane.

A tile aligning and leveling system that uses an under tile base re-usable upright connecting tab, which is detachably connected to said under tile base, a re-usable flexible edge slotted cap configured to slip over the connecting tab and latch thereto as the cap is slid further down the connecting tab. The cap has an edge slot so that the connecting tab can be separated from the cap, by merely sliding the cap, so that the connecting tab passes through the slot. A flexible spring-like portion of the cap provides increased force on the tile even if undesired elongation of the connecting tab occurs.

A panel (assembly) having an inner panel member (sheet) and an outer panel member (sheet), with the member being secured to the member so that the member applies an outward force to the first member.

The invention relates to a composite tile for an installation system, more particularly for the production of a floor covering or wall covering, comprising a tile of a floor covering or wall covering and a backing disposed on the lay-on face of the tile. The invention also relates to a connecting element for the connection of two composite tiles and to an installation system composed of composite tiles and also to a method for the fabrication of a composite tile. The backing consists of a fiber composite material, more particularly fiber cement.

A device for leveling and aligning tiles and method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling device includes a body and two spaced and parallel strip members extending transversely from the body. Each of the spaced and parallel strip members extend to the front and rear of the body. Two opposing lateral open windows are formed in the body. A breakaway section is defined along the body. A wedge device is provided for penetrating one or more of the two opposing lateral open windows and exerting a force on the tiles for leveling them relative to each other.

The invention relates to a modular metal covering for buildings, consisting of successive metal sheets (1) which are interconnected by means of joining corresponding bends in the edges thereof, said connections being supported and fastened on supports (2), a lower groove (6) determining the bending of the edges of the metal sheets (1), wherefrom a vertical section extends, ending in a downward-oriented upper break, wherefrom one of the bends extends upwards, successively determining a bowed wing (9), a horizontal section (10) and a vertical section (11), while the other bend extends from the upper break with a wing (12) defining a domed shape; each support (2) comprising a body in the form of a column which determines structures to which said bends of the metal plates (1) are fitted.

A lap siding product with a unique shiplap joint that spaces abutting pieces of siding correctly from each other without installer measurements. The shiplap joint comprises a bottom element and a top element. A lap siding panel or board has a bottom element shiplap joint at one end, and a top elements shiplap joint at the other end. The corresponding ends of two lap siding panels or boards (i.e., one bottom element and one top element) together form the unique shiplap joint of the present invention. One or more drainage channels or grooves help re-direct water from the joint, and at least one of the channels or grooves also provides a visual element for proper spacing. An engineered “stop” on the underside of the top element also helps space the pieces of siding correctly, without requiring measurement during installation.

It is provided a cross-laminated wood façade element (1) that has an upper end (12) and a lower end (13), an inner surface (3), an outer surface (2) and a longitudinal axis (28) in the direction from the upper end (12) to the lower end (13), said element (1) comprising an inner layer (4) of timber elements (7) and at least one intermediate layer (5) of timber elements (7) where the grain of the timber elements (7) of the inner layer (4) and grain of the timber elements (7) of the at least one intermediate layer (5) are at least partially oriented in different directions, the façade element (1) further comprising an outer layer (6) comprising timber elements (7) in which the grain direction is oriented approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis (28), characterized in that the outer surface (2) of the façade element (1) has grooves (11) that are approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis (28).

A slip brick arrangement for use in a façade cladding system comprises a slip brick and a spacer element (20c). The slip brick comprises at least one rail-engaging groove to engage with a brick-retaining rail to be provided. The spacer element (20c) comprises a main spacer body (22c) to be positioned inside the rail-engaging groove. The main spacer body (22c) comprises a protrusion (32c) to hinder sliding of the spacer element (20c) towards the brick-retaining rail. A variant of the spacer element (20c) is made from an unitary sheet providing a main spacer body (22c) and an arm (24) extending from the main spacer body (22c) to engage in the rail-engaging groove, wherein the main spacer body (22c) comprises a lanced portion (28) providing the protrusion (32c). The spacer element (20c) helps to retain a slip brick in an intended position.
