Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface systems, for example, suitable for forming an internal or external surface of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface system including a support structure and a plurality of building surface products attached to the support structure. The support structure includes a first vertical rail that has a longitudinal section and a vertical receiving slot in the longitudinal section. A first building surface product includes a panel and a first attachment post extending outward from a rear surface of the panel. The first attachment post includes a shaft that extends through the vertical receiving slot of the first vertical rail such that the longitudinal section of the first vertical rail is clamped between a head of the first attachment post and the rear surface of the panel so as to secure the first building surface product against the support structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface systems, for example, suitable for forming an internal or external surface of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface product that includes a panel and a first attachment post extending outward from a rear surface of the panel. The first attachment post includes a shaft having a first end that penetrates the rear surface of the panel and second end that is spaced from the panel. The first attachment post also includes a lip extending radially outward from the shaft that is configured to hold the first attachment post in an aperture of a support structure. The disclosure also relates to a building surface system including a plurality of rails configured to panels that include an attachment post.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to roofing systems, for example, suitable for covering the roof of a house or other building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a roofing system that includes a plurality of riser blocks disposed on a support surface. The riser blocks include a group that is aligned in a row. A batten extends along the row and is supported by the group of riser blocks. The batten includes a first clip portion. A group of roofing panels is disposed along the row and is supported by the batten. Further, each of the roofing panels of the group includes a front surface, a rear surface, and a second clip portion extending from the rear surface. The second clip portion is configured to engage the first clip portion of the batten so as to secure the roofing panels to the batten.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface products, for example, suitable for forming a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface product including a panel having a front surface, a rear surface, and a gypsum body between the front surface and rear surface. A first attachment clip is secured to the rear surface of the panel and includes a first leg extending outward from the rear surface of the panel. A retaining flange is coupled to the first leg and extends over the rear surface in a first direction. The retaining flange includes a slot that is configured to receive a post so as to secure the building surface product to a support structure. A first fastener that penetrates the rear surface of the panel is attached to the first leg so as to secure the attachment clip to the panel.
