A composite fibre cement cladding element, comprising a plurality of fibre cement component pieces is provided wherein the fibre cement component pieces are fused together to provide a single unit that gives the appearance of two or more courses of cladding elements in a series.

Methods of reducing fiber cement waste and fiber cement articles produced therefrom

A composite acoustic damping batten suitable for interposition between first and second building elements, the composite acoustic damping batten comprising at least two resilient portions, each resilient portion comprising a first face and a second face, the first and second resilient portions of the at least two resilient portions being conjoined such that the first face of the first resilient portion and second face of the second resilient portion are spaced apart from each other forming opposing external surfaces of the composite acoustic damping batten; wherein the first face of the first resilient portion is configured for securable contacting engagement with the first building material; and the second face of the second resilient portion is configured for securable contacting engagement with the second building material.

Composite acoustic damping batten

An acoustic damping building material () comprising an acoustic damping layer () secured to at least a portion of a substrate (). The acoustic damping layer comprises at least two media wherein the at least two media are configured such that the acoustic damping layer comprises at least one direct energy transmission pathway and at least one indirect energy transmission pathway through the acoustic damping layer to the substrate.

Acoustic damping building material

An acoustic dampener () comprising a base member () having a first surface () and a second surface (), the first surface () and the second surface () are spaced apart from each other defining a thickness () therebetween. The acoustic dampener () further comprising a pair of side arms (), each having a first end () and a second end (). Each side arm () is attached to the base member () at its first end () at a predetermined angle. The side arm () extends from the base member () to form a channel formation () to receive a batten. A flange () extends substantially orthogonally from the second end () of each side arm () for retaining a batten within the channel formation ().

Acoustic dampener

The present invention relates to methods for marking a coated substrate. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for marking a coated substantially cementitious substrate in the form of a cementitious building product. The method comprises the steps of treating at least a portion of an uncoated cementitious substrate to form indicia; and applying a surface coating on said cementitious substrate to at least partially cover said indicia such that a marking is formed.

Method for marking a coated substrate

The present invention relates to methods for marking a substrate. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for applying visual indicia to a substantially cementitious substrate in the form of a cementitious building product. The method comprising the steps of: irradiating a surface of said substantially cementitious substrate for a sufficient time and with sufficient energy to at least partially vitrify said surface thereby marking said substrate.
