Appl. No.:

17/369552

Inventors:

- Dublin 2, IE
Hui Li - Fontana CA, US
Darren Southwell - Sydney, AU
Matthew Spencer - Palatine IL, US

International Classification:

E04F 13/08
E04F 13/14

Abstract:

A cladding element, for use in a building envelope, comprising a first face, a second face and a plurality of edges. One or more of the plurality of edges includes a mating feature configured to resist moisture passage between cladding elements when the cladding elements are installed on a wall or other structure. The mating features of each cladding element including one or more beveled edges designed to improve mating between the cladding elements and the overall aesthetic appearance of the mating interface between adjacent cladding elements when installed on a wall or other structure.

International Classification:

E04F 13/08
E04F 13/14

Abstract:

A cladding element, for use in a building envelope, comprising a first face, a second face and a plurality of edges. One or more of the plurality of edges includes a mating feature configured to resist moisture passage between cladding elements when the cladding elements are installed on a wall or other structure. The cladding element can include one or more joint features to improve mating between the cladding elements, reduce labor costs, and facilitate moisture drainage from the cladding elements.

International Classification:

E04F 13/08
E04F 13/00
E04B 1/66
E04C 2/26
E04B 1/74

Abstract:

A building system including a first water resistant layer secured to a building substrate, first and second building articles secured to the first water resistant layer and the building substrate such that sides of the building articles are positioned adjacent one another along an abutment line, and a second water resistant layer secured to portions of the first and second building articles along the abutment line to prevent liquid from traveling past the sides of the building articles to the first water resistant layer and the building substrate. In some embodiments, the building articles are fiber cement building articles. In some embodiments, the building articles include a plurality of integrally formed drainage channels and a plurality of spacer sections disposed between the drainage channels, each of the plurality of drainage channels defining an air gap comprising a liquid flow path.

Inventors:

- Dublin 2, IE
Brian McQuerrey - Rancho Cucamonga CA, US
Hui Li - Fontana CA, US

International Classification:

E04F 13/08
E04F 13/00

Abstract:

A wall cladding panel comprising a substantially planar front face, a rear face comprising a plurality of drainage channels and a plurality of spacer sections disposed between the drainage channels, and an edge member disposed contiguously between the front face and the rear face. The wall cladding panel is locally thinner at the drainage channels than at the spacer sections. Each drainage channel is configured to form a liquid flow path and/or an air gap when a substantially planar building surface is placed adjacent to the rear face. A plurality of wall cladding panels with drainage channels may be arranged in series to cover at least a portion of a building.
