The present invention is directed to a weatherproof electrical box for protecting an electrical connection from the elements. The electrical box includes a housing comprising four side walls and a base forming an interior space, a pivotal cover that latches onto the housing, a circumferential flange extending outwardly from the upper end of the housing, and an outer flange. The outer flange can be releasably attached to corrugations on the housing.

Textured siding panel

A system for installing trim installations at external corners of a building includes trim and a bracket. The trim serves both an aesthetic purpose in adding a decorative feature to building envelopes and also adds an additional weatherproofing purpose in allowing for more complete weatherproofing of building envelope corners and openings. The disclosed system relates to a concealed fastening building finishing element system that enables concealed fastening of finishing trim.

System for installing corner trim with a hidden fastener

A kit for securing stone veneer panels to a structure, the kit comprising a plurality of stone veneer panels with upper and lower flanges, a plurality of brackets for securing the panels to the structure and a filler panel for placement between adjacent vertically disposed stone veneer panels to fill the gap between the panels. The brackets are secured to the structure through a bracket center mount and also utilize upper and lower wing walls to form a channel for receipt of the flange of the panels.

Kit for stone veneer panel installation

A trim system for securing trim adjacent an edge of a building penetration, the trim system including at least one bracket that is attachable to a wall. The bracket having a center channel having opposed first and second side walls, at least one locking wedge located along each opposed side wall, and at least one tab extending outwardly from a side wall for gauging bracket distance from the edge of the penetration. The trim system also including at least one trim piece that is attachable to the bracket, the trim including at least two longitudinally extending slots disposed within the hidden surface of the trim for receiving the at least one locking wedge located along each opposed side wall of the bracket.

An interlocking siding panel comprising an upper lock portion, wherein the upper lock portion further comprises a riser segment contiguous with the back face of the panel. The riser segment transitions to a bend fully reversing direction to form a nail hem segment. The nail hem segment terminating at a first bend leading to a first riser leg transitioning to a planar segment through a second bend. The planar segment terminating at a third bend leading to a second riser leg that terminates at a fourth bend forming the proximal end of a locking leg; a front face; a back face; and a lower lock portion disposed laterally opposite the upper lock portion. The lower lock portion further comprising a lower flange and a return leg, wherein in operation the return leg of the lower portion of a first panel is inserted beneath the proximal end of the locking leg.

Apparatus and kit for stone veneer panel installation

Disclosed herein is an interlocking siding panel system for securing to the side of a structure with planar surfaces. When the panel is secured to the structure through the nail strip a full contact strip opposite the nail strip lays flat against the structure causing the panel portion below an point of inflection in the panel to raise up off of the structure creating a gap to facilitate movement of moisture past a locking leg that integrates with the panel below.
