The present invention relates generally to the field of decorative wall coverings. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide wall panels with adjustable spacing.
Conventional decorative wall coverings, such as stone, brick, or rock wall façade panels, enhance the appearance of buildings and are very popular. Some of the issues with conventional wall panels include the level of difficulty of installation, difficulties in manufacturing and commensurate costs of manufacturing, problems with durability, problems with appearance of the installed products, and the need for adequate spacing between the panel and wall or sheathing over the wall to provide adequate air flow and moisture egress. The present subject matter provides solutions for these and a variety of other problems.
Disclosed herein, among other things, are system, methods and apparatuses for wall coverings with adjustable spacing. One aspect of the present subject matter relates to a concrete wall panel including a mounting system that includes a decorative panel with a flange embedded within the panel, the flange having mounting features providing for a number of ways to mount a plurality of such panels to a wall or other planar surface. The mounting system allows for fasteners to be used to connect the wall panel to a wall and provides a mount that has an air gap to allow for air to flow and for any moisture to pass between the wall inner surface and behind the wall panels.
This Summary is an overview of some of the teachings of the present application and not intended to be an exclusive or exhaustive treatment of the present subject matter. Further details about the present subject matter are found in the detailed description and appended claims. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
The present subject matter relates to wall coverings. In various embodiments, the present subject matter comprises a plurality of wall panels configured to be fastened to a wall. In various embodiments each wall panel comprises a decorative element connected to a mounting structure. In various embodiments, the mounting structure is embedded in a cast body that provides a decorative element. In various embodiments different designs are provided to provide an air gap and moisture egress from the panels.
The following detailed description of the present subject matter refers to subject matter in the accompanying drawings which show, by way of illustration, specific aspects and embodiments in which the present subject matter may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the present subject matter. References to “an”, “one”, or “various” embodiments in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references contemplate more than one embodiment. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, along with the full scope of legal equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
In various embodiments, the mounting structure allows for fasteners to be used to connect the wall panel to a wall and provides a mount that has an air gap to allow for air to flow and for any moisture to pass between the wall inner surface and behind the wall panels. In various embodiments, such fasteners include, but are not limited to, adhesive, screws, nails, rivets, hooks, clips, tabs, Velcro-like connectors magnets, bolts, grooves, and associated counterparts.
In various embodiments, the mounting structure is secured to the decorative element with second fasteners. In various embodiments, such second fasteners include, but are not limited to, adhesive, screws, nails, rivets, hooks, clips, tabs, Velcro-like connectors, magnets, bolts, grooves, and associated counterparts.
In various embodiments the mounting structure is designed so that an overlapping panel mounted above the mounting portion overlaps the mounting portion and the resulting panels are substantially planar. The effect is to provide a relatively continuous wall structure that looks even in appearance and does not reveal isolated panels unless that is desired. In various embodiments an overlap is accommodated by the configuration of the lower portion of the panel and the mounting structure under it. In various embodiments, the mounting structure is designed to be isolated at adjustable distances from the wall to accommodate overlapping structures of different thickness. For example, in various embodiments, the mounting structure serves as a ledge for another panel to rest on. The panel resting on the ledge may include surface features that allow the panel to reside substantially flush in appearance over the mounting structure of the panel beneath it.
In the embodiment of
In various embodiments, the flange 155 is a metal strip that is bent and placed in a mold so that a cast decorative component can adhere to the strip. Such a strip may have a bend to enhance purchase. Such strip may have features such as bumps or holes to enhance the connection between the decorative component and the mounting strip.
In various embodiments, a spacer 160 is affixed to the flange 155 shown in
Additional spacers 160 may include bushings.
In various embodiments, a spacer is affixed to the flange shown in
In various embodiments, the flange 1 also includes receivers 12 for receiving fasteners. In various embodiments, the receivers 12 are separate from the standoffs and include a hole for a fastener, such as a nail, screw, bolt, or other fastener. In various embodiments, the receivers are smaller in profile than the standoffs so that the gap formed by the panel to the wall which it is connected to will be provided entirely by the standoffs and not by the receivers. The present design allows for fasteners that also have a gap between the wall board to which the panel attaches and the receiver 12 and fastener. The standoffs allow for water to drip down the outside edge of the wall to which the panel is fastened to with a minimal amount of contact to the wall by the standoffs. In various embodiments, the thickness of the standoffs allows for stacking of the panels over each other to align as connected to the wall to form a planar surface. Judicious placement of the receivers 12 enable fastening to a variety of wall materials, such as studs or other structures.
This extra thickness of the standoffs 11 as compared to the receivers 12 is demonstrated in
In various embodiments the standoffs 11 allow for the fasteners to have an air gap around them and between the wall and the receivers 12. In various embodiments, the receivers 12 include an accommodation of the heads of the fasteners in the form of a recess to receive a head of a fastener. This allows a flush surface of flange 1 so that overlapping panels can rest on the flange and not protrude due to the fasteners.
Further details of the flange according to one embodiment are provided by
As shown in
The siding panel P may be a cast veneer siding panel. The front-face FF may be a front, a visual, or an otherwise outwardly facing surface of the panel P. The front-face FF may include one or more design elements, which can, for example, include a variety of shapes, colors and textures. The back-face BF may a back, a non-visual, or an otherwise inwardly facing surface of the panel P. The back-face BF may include a natural finish from a manufacturing process. The natural finish may, for example, be a rough surface which includes various particle sizes and colors.
The mounting flange 1 may be imbedded in cast veneer of the siding panel (P). The mounting flange 1 may include the standoffs 11. The standoffs 11 may be a series of embossments, indentations, or protrusions extending outwardly from a surface of the mounting flange 1. A plurality of the standoffs 11 may be individually formed along a length of the mounting flange 1. The standoffs 11 may be configured to extend toward a substrate surface when the mounting flange 1 is coupled to a substrate wall. The substrate wall may be an exterior wall of a residential home or a variety of other buildings.
The standoffs 11 may thereby create a consistent standoff gap between the back-panel BF of the siding panel P, and an exterior wall of a residential home or other types of buildings. The positive standoff gap may allow for air to flow and moisture to pass between the back-face BF and a substrate wall. The standoff gap may also create a positive drainage plane. The standoffs 11 on each mounting flange 1 may reduce contact with a substrate wall by 66%; and may increase positive air flow by 3.2%. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that other benefits may be achieved with the inventive subject matter described herein.
The standoffs 11 may include a variety of dimensions. For example, each of the standoffs 11 may have, but are not limited to, an approximate diameter of 0.812″ at a base of each standoff, and an approximate diameter of 0.50″ at a peak of each standoff, and an approximate height of 0.114″, or 0.172″. The height, shown in
The receivers 12 of the flange 1 may be a series of indentations or protrusions extending outwardly from a surface of the mounting flange 1. In various embodiments, spacers may be employed. The receivers 12 may be configured as fastener-receiving indentations, in order to receive heads of various fasteners when the mounting flange 1 is coupled to a wall. The receivers 12 may be configured to receive a #8 K-lath screw. For example, the receivers 12 may have, but are not limited to, an approximate diameter of 0.812″, at a base, and an approximate height of 0.060-0.62″. The height of the receivers 12, shown in
The receivers 12 may also include one or more corresponding recesses 14 on the front-face FF of the mounting flange 1. The recesses 14 can be configured to receive the head of a screw or other fastener. For example, a recess having a height of 0.036″ may be formed on the front-face FF of the mounting flange 1, to compensate for the height of a screw head, such as a #8 K-lath screw head. The recesses 14 can thereby allow a screw head to be recessed or to sit flush with the mounting flange 1, when the mounting flange 1 is coupled to a substrate wall. This allows a panel above the flange to overlap it and not be forced out by the heads of the fasteners (e.g., K-lath screws).
During the installation of at least one example of a siding panel P, the mounting flange 1 may be positioned against a substrate surface (or wall), in preparation for mounting. A plurality of fasteners, such as screws, can be positioned within each of the bores 13 of the receivers 12. The screws can then be driven into the substrate wall; until the each of the standoffs 11 contact the substrate wall. The standoffs 11 are configured to have a greater height than the receivers 12, such that the standoffs 11 define a standoff gap between the back-face BF of the siding panel and the substrate wall. When the screws are driven into the substrate surface, the recesses 14 of each of the receivers 12 receive the heads of the screws, or other fasteners, such that the heads are level, or flush with, a surface of the mounting flange 1.
Various other embodiments of a fastening system are shown in the following figures.
