Abstract: A method of forming a three-dimensional frame structure is provided. The structure includes a plurality of rigid wall panels that are adhesively secured to components of a system. The components are specially designed to allow for adjusting the dimensions of a wall panel. The method generally comprises providing a series of corner castings, and providing a series of linear extrusion members. The method also includes connecting the series of corner castings and the plurality of linear extrusion members to form a three-dimensional frame, and adhesively securing rigid wall panels to the three-dimensional frame to form the frame structure. The rigid panels may include porcelain ceramic tiles, natural stone tiles, or other panels.

Abstract: A method for installing wall panels to a wall of a building is provided. The method applies the rainscreen principle. Interlocking components are used to attach aluminum or other wall panels to an exterior wall. In one aspect, the method includes operatively connecting a plurality of attachment clips to a wall surface of the exterior building wall. The method also includes providing a first panel perimeter strip and a second panel perimeter strip. The first panel perimeter strip is fastened to a first wall panel along a first side surface of the first wall panel, while the second panel perimeter strip is fastened to a second wall panel along a first side surface of the second wall panel. The method then includes sliding the first panel perimeter strip onto a first wing member of an attachment clip, thereby connecting the first wall panel to the wall, and sliding the second panel perimeter strip onto a second opposing wing member of the attachment clip, thereby connecting the second wall panel to the wall.

Abstract: A method for installing wall panels to an exterior building wall is provided. The method applies the rainscreen principle. Interlocking components are used to attach aluminum or other wall panels to an exterior wall. In one aspect, the method includes fastening a bracket assembly to the exterior building wall, fastening an attachment clip to the bracket assembly, providing a panel perimeter strip, providing a wall panel, fastening the wall panel to the panel perimeter strip along one side surface of the wall panel, providing a through-opening through the wall panel thereby permitting fluid communication from an atmosphere into the hollow interior portion of the wall panel, and sliding an infill strip into a slot of the panel perimeter strip between the attachment clip and the through opening so as to cover a fastener of the bracket assembly; The system is held together non-adhesively.

Abstract: A packing assembly which includes at least one flexible sheet defining a side curtain wall, at least one transfer element associated with the packing assembly over which the flexible sheet is run, and at least one drive mechanism configured to move the flexible sheet, wherein the drive mechanism controls the amount of flexible sheet extended to control the height of the side curtain wall.
