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.
