Abstract: The invention relates to building materials, in particular to attachment of siding boards, such as composite boards, or fiber cement boards on building siding. A clip to securely attach the boards is disclosed. The clip may be used with our without a shaped foam insulation board. A method to use the clip is also disclosed. Various embodiments of the clip are provided.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to building materials, in particular to attachment of insulating board and trims on building surfaces. Various embodiments of attachment clips to attach the trims on their place without nails or screws through the trim are provided. This disclosure provides an economical, fast, easy, and esthetic method to attach building trims.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a cement board bay comprising a skid, the cement boards and a cover to protect the boards from whether. The cover is of breathable water proof material and it has a skirt that elastically or otherwise tightens the cover over the boards. The cover is secured with closing devices. The upper surface of the cover may include ridges, convex portions or water absorbent areas to prevent water from standing on the bay. The cover sides may include flap openings for removing tapes holding the boards on place without removing the bay cover.

Abstract: A shaped insulating board is disclosed for enabling lining of fiber cement boards and simultaneously enabling attachment of the insulating board on the building studs. Furthermore, the shaped insulating board provides a water drainage panel that allows water to drain downward on both sides of the board. The shaped insulating board also provides aeration between the board and the building surface.

Abstract: A building side kit is provided where the siding board is attached to an insulation board from their upper edges and a one step installation of the kit is provided with attachment clips. The insulation boards may have interlocking male extension and female deeps on their upper and lower edges. Attachment clips fitting with siding board/insulation board assemblies with male extensions on the upper edge of the insulation board are also provided. The system may also include a reflective backing and/or drainage grooves on the back of the insulation board.

Abstract: A combined thermal insulation barrier and installation guide for fiber cement siding. A rectangular insulating board has a flat, rectangular back surface, and a front surface shaped to form a number of flat-faced, protruding ridges, aligned parallel to an edge of the rectangle. The cross-section, taken orthogonal to the ridges has a saw-tooth shape. When a standard-size, fiber cement plank is placed face-down on a face of a ridge with its edge abutting the short face of an adjacent ridge, and a second board is placed face-down on an adjacent ridge, the second board overlaps first board and lies flat on the first board. Once the shaped insulating board is aligned to a required orientation, and attached on a building surface, it serves as a positioning guide for attaching fiber cement boards. Left in the siding, the shaped, insulating board acts as insulation throughout the life of the siding.
