Abstract: A cavity wall system and a method of forming a cavity wall including: a wall structure (1); a plurality of outer wall cladding panels (2); and a plurality of discrete mounting elements (4, 5, 6) for mounting the cladding panels a predetermined distance away from the wall structure (1) so as to form a substantially flat exterior wall surface (7) and a substantially uninterrupted internal wall cavity (8) between the cladding panels (2) and the wall structure (1); the mounting elements (4, 5, 6) being sized and arranged so as to allow substantially uninterrupted fluid flow throughout the cavity (8); and the system further including moisture control means defining a moisture control plane to minimise migration of liquid moisture from the cavity (8) into the wall structure (1). The invention also provides a mounting member (4) and a termination member (5) for use as mounting elements in the cavity wall system and method.

Abstract: An improved cladding board mounting system for mounting cladding boards (100) adjacent a surface to be concealed. Each cladding board (100) includes at least one support member (130) on the interior face (120) of the cladding board. The system further includes at least one mounting member (170) which includes an engaging formation (172) adapted for releasable engagement with a complementary engaging formation (132) of a respective support member. The mounting member also includes a second segment (174) for releasable connection to the surface to be concealed. Preferably a mounting bracket (70) extends between the surface to be clad and the mounting member (170).

Abstract: A cladding board (10) for fixing in partial overlapping relationship with a like board (10). The board (10) includes a longitudinally extending first face (11) which, in use, partially overlaps with the opposing face of a like board (10) and a retaining formation (12) in the first face (11) adapted to captively retain an aligning spline (13) having a complementary retaining formation.
