Abstract: Devices, systems, and associated methods for attaching materials girts, rails, cladding, and/or other cladding components to an exterior wall portion (e.g., an insulated exterior wall portion) or other substructure of a building are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the system includes cladding component attachment devices and cladding anchors, each configured to extend between the exterior wall portion and the cladding component. Each cladding anchor can have a base configured to be attached to the exterior wall of the building and a rod attached to the base and projecting outwardly therefrom and having a distal end portion configured to be attached to the cladding component. One or more of the cladding anchors can be positioned between adjacent cladding component attachment devices.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and associated methods for attaching materials (e.g., baffles, panels, etc.) to ceiling or side wall surfaces of a building and/or other substructure of a building are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the systems include a clip having outwardly facing pockets configured to operably engage opposing protrusions of a channel of a support beam. The system can further include a locking device pivotably coupled to the clip and movable between an unlocked position and a locked position in which a portion of the locking device is positioned between the pockets to prevent the clip from inadvertently disengaging from the channel.
