Abstract: A panelized lath and drainage plane panel and system is disclosed. A panel comprises a patterned polymer board providing a continuous drainage plane and a metallic lath affixed to the patterned polymer board, such that a first pair of adjacent edges include an exposed surface of the patterned polymer board. The panel may also include a second pair of adjacent edges, opposite the first pair of adjacent edges include an overhang of metallic lath. The system provides an open-air space between the exterior of the structure and the polymer board to allow the egress of liquid water and water vapor. A wall system using such panels is also disclosed. Typically, a manmade or natural stone veneer or a stucco is applied over the system.

Abstract: A stone assembly for use on the exterior of building that includes a stone face attached to a mechanical mount that is easily fixed to the face of a wall using standard construction practices. The mount provides a space between the stone and the face of the exterior wall such that moisture is not trapped between the stone and the wall construction. The space allows water vapor to escape and liquid water to run down the face of the wall to escape at the flashing on the lower ledge of the wall. A clip useful for use in mounting stone to a wall of a structure may preferably include a primary surface, first and second legs each having a proximal end connected to the primary surface and distal ends extending from the primary surface, a spacer having a proximal end connected to the primary surface and a distal end extending from the primary surface, and at least two tabs connected at the distal end of the spacer the spacers being substantially perpendicular to the spacer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stone veneer with mounts providing a drainage plane. The mounts are affixed to the rear face of the stone and the height of the mount defines the height of the drainage plane behind the stone body. The mount may include an upper extension, extending beyond the upper surface of the stone body and a lower extension, extending from the mount body and beyond the lower surface of the stone body. The upper extension being spaced from the stone such that the lower extension fits between the stone and the upper extension. A second mount is also shown that extends above the stone to support the lower end of the stone above in the wall.

Abstract: A manufactured stone panel formed of a cementitious manufactured stone panel having a rear, mounting face, a front, decorative face, an upper surface having a raised section and a recess, and a lower surface a raised section and a recess, such that the upper surface and lower surface of adjacent stone panels overlap to form a joint therebetween, at least one bracket extending from the cementitious stone body; a leftward extension on the stone body; and a rightward extension on the stone body, such that the leftward extension and rightward extension of adjacent stone panels form a joint therebetween.

Abstract: A veneer product and system includes a body having an aesthetic front surface and a back surface for installation adjacent the building. The body has a top side and a bottom side and a bracket attached to body and projecting away from the back surface of the body, the bracket further comprising a first end adjacent the top side for attachment to the building and a first protrusion for positioning the back surface a predetermined distance from the building and a second end having a second protrusion for positioning the bottom of the back surface a predetermined distance from the building and a bottom projection adjacent the bottom side for engagement with a second body to retain the bottom end of the veneer product.

Abstract: A cast veneer wall panel includes a facing panel having at least one design element. The facing panel is made from a cast material. In addition the wall panel includes a backing panel including a series of spaced apertures. The series of spaced apertures receive a portion of the cast material in order to key the facing panel and the backing panel together.
