Abstract: A paneling system for external building walls includes: panels; bottom and top panel adapters attached to the panels with anchor plates; sill, head and wall girts; top and bottom panel shelves; and panel alignment mechanisms. The top panel shelves are configured for complimentary engagement with the top panel adapter and with the head and wall girts; and the bottom panel shelves are configured for complimentary engagement with the bottom panel adapters and with the sill and wall girts. A method for installing the paneling system includes attaching the sill, head wall girts to the wall; attaching the top and bottom panel shelves to the corresponding head girt, sill girt or wall girt; attaching the top and bottom panel adapters to each panel; attaching top panel adapters to the top panel shelves; attaching the bottom panel adapters to the bottom panel shelves; and aligning the panel using the adjustment mechanism.

Abstract: A modular paneling system for modular wall assemblies includes a plurality of panels, each including panel mounting brackets attached to the top, bottom, first side and second side frame members of the panel; a plurality of elongated posts; a plurality of end pieces, each configured for removably receiving and retaining at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of mounting brackets; and a plurality of caps, each configured for removably receiving and retaining at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of mounting brackets. The modular wall is assembled by individually attaching the first and the second side frame members to respective elongated poles, and securing a top cap to each elongated post.
